Default Custom console?

Been thinking about making a custome console lately for my reg cab with split bench. Something than comes up from the floor over the tunnel and elevates up to the hidden cuppholder area. Just to mount switches, power point and possibly an IPad or IPhone. Anyone seen or done this before? Thanks for any input!

Pretty badass. Would like to get the dimensions off you if you have em. Did you use fiberglass at all? I'm thinking about doing a rectangle console where it comes up and meets the radio, but smooth out the curve so its not just like L________
