Lets see your center console

We drove a new Dodge Caliber for a few days ( rental ) and I took a liking to the way they lighted the cup holders. I'm thinking I might buy one from a pick-N-pull yard in the future and retrofit a portion of it into a homemade console.
The main feature that I want to regain is the padded arm rest that I lost when the bench seat was removed. Its height along with storage and other details should be considered when designing a center console. One could bring the floor ducts out the sides of it, Add foot well lighting to the sides of it.
Good luck and show us know what you end up with.
