Inverter in Center/Floor Console

That's what I figured as well, but thanks for confirming that for me

Got a great deal on a Cobra 400W inverter. While its on the lower end of what I was looking for, it still is within the range of what I want, and for a fantastic price (local place had a closeout sale) It is worth the buy.
So I assumed I would have to install the unit sideways mounted along one side , but as it turns out, it fits flat perfectly in the console. So once I get time I will be mounting it flat, cutting the bottom of the insert cup and raising the floor, cutting the access hole, and adding a vent fan, wire in the relay (so its only on when the engine is running), and run the battery positive connection.
So This project I won't have time to do, and do it right, between now and my travels this coming week, so it will be limited to about 150W over the cig lighter plug, but that is enough to run a small laptop for those in the back.
That being said however, I am excited to get this installed, and the luck I had with the fit

That it is. Now I hope I get lucky on the timetable for install,otherwise it will likely get put off until I do a lot of cosmetic work on her this spring leading into summer.
The grille has been cracked since I bought it back in 2010, and it picked up more damage this year when I was hit by a chunk of flying roadway. So pulling that out and putting a new one in. At that time I'll probably add an aluminum grille as opposed to the plastic one
And the left rear bumper cap had a hole punched in it while in a parking lot this winter.
Also plan to install non colored headlights since one housing cracked last fall.
And if time and money allows I'd like to get the under body recoated to protect against that "cancer"
