First off you need to have your monitor and its bezel, mine was a plastic piece that the monitor snapped into, or if you dont have one just make one out of wood, you need some fiberglass resin and mat or cloth, blue painters tape, some type of material(t-shirt works fine) and a small 1" paint brush will be fine.

1. remove the blk cubby insert and the console piece it snaps into
2. remove the cubby hole from the console insert
3. tape up the cubby hole piece
4. take the monitor housing and position in how you want it to face on top of
the cubby hole piece and adhere it so it doesnt move
5. take your material and stretch it over the monitor housing, make sure that
it is pulled pretty tight or else it may sag when u apply the resin
and around the back of the cubby hole and then put the cubby hole piece
back into the console piece (look at pic)
6. now you mix some resin and catalyst together just follow the directions on
on the can and when ready you use the brush and apply it to the material
make sure to completely saturate the material,
7. once harden you can apply a layer of mat to the front but i only applied the
mat to the backside to make it easier to finish the outside
8. now you can trim away the excess material and do a lil body work and there
ya go

I would say you probably could make this for about $30 but Im not too sure I made mine a few years back. You probably could finish this from start to finish in 1-2 hours but you just have to give the resin time to cure, and all my pics got deleted from an online file hosting site

if the center section with the tape player is removable then the process would be very similar, would just have to play with the mounting angles and such
