My custom center console build.

The hardest part of making this was....actually it was not hard at all.
First make a cardboard mock-up, then label each piece, take it apart and transfer the cut out pieces to some 1/2" board. Some guys use OSB but I used nice, sandable sheets for making furniture with.

My cupholders are actually pen holders i got from office max, and the pockets are removed from mercedes that had audio/video equipment put in their place.
These are readily avalable like candy at audio install shops for a couple bucks or free if you know someone.
I was not brave enough to cover the console myself so I farmed it out to Longs upholstery in Alpharetta who wrapped it in foam and leather grain vinyl for $125.00...done.
