I have made 3 this version is for my personal set up but have made basic as well as a blank. You can get German Vinyl 1 yard will do it. Plywood, Hardware Etc.. I even Hand Stitched myself.. I had A.C. version too. All the center consoles out there are tired even the good ones.. 30 year old vinyl and plywwod does not hold up but I am sure there are "concourse ones out there" but most look out of place old in a new interior environment.. scuffs, tears, cig burns, loose or peeling stiching, cheap hardware.. etc.. Cracked wood hidden behind the vinyl.. Attached thumbnail(s)

I need to redo the vinyl on mine but it looks like it was somehow heat sealed around the edges...any ideas on this?

If your talking about the factory stitching it is my belief that the flatten the seem in a rolling press.. hard to do at home .. but if you realize function over form and can live without being concourse perfect then you can have a pretty nice interior with a little effort and thought.. does my console look bad?? I made it in my driveway.. AA's version you could build better yourself.. trust me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I am not a seamstress, just trace it inside out , follow the line.. turn it right side out when done, push the wood in tightly.. it is only thread and needle so adding some stitiching or pulling some out is no big deal.. just don't let you wife see you or you'll be making curtains this summer..

( When I was going to put it in I fould vinyl fairly cheap at wal-mart in the fabric department) It has the switch for the rear defrost as well. $160 obo
