Project complete - floor console

I bought this console, pretty cheap and cheesy and the junky wood paneling contact paper like finish didn't last long. So I wanted more. So I took the original basic frame, then customized it. I wanted some power accesories there, and honstly I like the burlwood finish in the truck. Here's what I did

New top and cupholder section from MDF board - I Laminated it with a 1/8" thick curled maple (closest to burlwood I could find).
Stained to match the stock burlwood - then coated with clear laquer
Trimmed existing legs with a iron on tape (made from real wood) that was stained and laquered as well.
700 watt power inverter added - direct wired to battery
(3) 12 volt cigarette lighter plugs added - direct wired to battery
Streamlight Stinger flashlight added, with power for the charger connected to a switched relay only on when the key is on.

Here are some photos .. hope you like it .. TNT
