Re: "Custom" console lid

If you padded the top with 1" foam, and then wrapped it with vinyl, you could probably get it to look decent.

Re: "Custom" console lid

there is room to make it look somewhat good, LOL, maybe with some padding and some leather to match your seats if you have leather.....or a black vinyl/leather ....... suede leather maybe??? ......

even a dark color wood stain and nice mahogany wood, with a nice routered edge to match the 80's

i wonder if anyone has got pics of a custom cover that actually looks neat/good
