Yeah, without some kind of organization these consoles turn into bottomless pits, LOL! Home Depot is where you'll find them They're about $13

That looks great! How did you get it to look so uniform on the top and sides?!

For the top I bought another console top cut it to fit, cut the cup holder out and fiberglassed it in

For the sides I built fiberglass pieces then fiberglassed them to the console sides and then sanded smooth and carpeted them.

Also made the vents work too by buying the air duct and molding it into the floor vent that runs under the seat.

Oh okay! Looks great! I plan on buying a new top piece from another console like you did and somehow I'll figure out something from there. Kinda want to find a way to integrate an AC outlet and USB and AUX in somehow too.
But props, that looks awesome man! I'm sure you love it just as much as I do, changes the whole look of the truck!

Thanks man... And yes so much nicer than the seat. I ran my aux and USB into my storage area, bought 10ft ext cables on eBay... I'm working on the AC outlet idea now....
