Here's a very quick and rough sketch.
Brad I figured you'd get a better idea of what I was thinking of then if I described it to you. on second thought, the sketch isn't that good so here's some description. The center section of the both the dash and the center console are supposed to be backed by a brushed aluminum panel. think back to what the One Lap Camaro's console looked like, just extent the plate up into the dash.
