I wanted to build my own center console and I was searching the ol interwebs for some ideas to help foster the concept I came up with.

I started out with some cardboard pieces to mock up the initial design and went through 4 or 5 reiterations from there before settling on the final design.

I used PVC komatex board that I ordered through TAP Plastics. The sides are 1/2" thick and the top piece is 1/8" thick.

I traced the cardboard onto the PVC board and used a router to make my cuts.

I then used various pieces of wood in-between the two side pieces to give it structural strength and to act as the base for the top piece to lay on top.

After it was all screwed together I had an upholstery shop cover it the same vinyl wrap I used on the original console to match.

For the center section I made my cutouts for the radio, switches, and shifter. I then wrapped the center section using 3M Rosewood vinyl sheets to cover it. This is the same material I used on the door panels and side trim so it all matches.
