The Dupli-color med. grey is a perfect match for the plastic in our trucks. The leather is actually light Med. grey. The SEM is the paint for the leather. The leather armrest actually comes out lighter than the plastic. Once installed in the truck it looks as if it's supposed to be that way. With the one I put together for Bowtie, we had to make a custom armrest due to the center portion being missing. The upholstery guy actually had some light med. grey GM leather. It may have been sitting around for a while, as it looks too light to me, and need to be shot with some SEM. Or it may look great once installed in the truck. On the workbench it looked too light. But it always looks that way outside the truck, I panic, and then when installed looks fine. To get plastic and leather to match perfect is very hard. As far as the prep went, I used a chemical stripper because the donor console was peeling, and if you sand aggressively you will smooth out the textured plastic. If it was'nt peeling I would have just scuffed with a red scuff pad, and then prepped with denatured alcohol.

I want one of these sooooo bad... I wish someone made them aftermarket... Someone should start doing that like say LMCparts or something. I mean id buy for 500$ that was premade just like this. They should have it set up so that you can get rid of the tv and get a slideout cupholder instead. Sorry i just have ideas that spout it... haha Looks good bowtie! Cant wait to see the installed picture

I doubt we will ever see another with the TV anyway. Very rare item.

The one on ebay is missing a few pieces. I hate that. I tried to order missing pieces before it's next to impossible.
