Hawk's Console Lid Reproduction

Hawk's Console Lid Reproduction
I finally pulled the trigger on replacing my old, poor, sad, and broken console lid. I usually don't jump for aftermarket, I prefer to find NOS parts, but I didn't even think to do it this time and I got this piece. It is built really nice, but the material seems a little more rough than the OEM material. The curved metal piece seems to be stainless, and not black like OEM. I suppose if it bothered me I'd paint it.
Overall, it fits very nicely and actually seems to be more robust than the OEM piece.

There's also this option from Thirdgenranch.com:
http://thirdgenranch.com/-strse-1110...oor/Detail.bok
I'm thinking I found the Thirdgenranch one off that car, instead of the hawks one.
The one from Hawks appears Very square in comparison to The thirdgenranch one; which appears more stock shape.

Actarnoff, looks really good. Thanks for sharing the photos. Needing to start on my interior soon and this would be a good start. How much did you pay for the console lid.

Re: Hawk's Console Lid Reproduction
Can't go wrong with either one. Both look great.
Good to know companies are starting to make replacement parts for our cars.

Re: Hawk's Console Lid Reproduction
Looks like a nice piece. Could it only seem a little more rough since the original one had 20+ years of wear on it?

Re: Hawk's Console Lid Reproduction
I re-used the bones/structure of the old one; screwed it to plywood; added aircraft quality foam; and covered in xtra leather that I purchased when I purchased the Corbeau seats (the back seats are re-upholstered to match).
