center consle CD holder???
Well, for my mount I just glued in a piece of ABS plastic I had laying around and cut the hole for the CB. I imagine your application would be very similar, the difficult part would be making an actual mount for the CB itself. Actually, the more I think about it, the easier it really seems to do... I may do that soon, haha.
Around the trim hole for the CB, take some vacuum line, split it down the middle, and run it around the edge of the hole. That way you have a very nice clean looking cut line.

Don't have any of the "finished" product (in quotes because I haven't run the vacuum hose around the opening yet) but here's the last one I took before tossing it all in the truck. I can get more tomorrow if you'd like.

No problem. I have to go downstairs to the garage tomorrow (fun project, cleaning up the mess that is the garage) so I'll try and remember to take a few. Everything is just sitting there in place right now since I don't have an antenna for the CB, or the vacuum hose to finish off the opening, but you can get a good idea of how it'll look.
Dagnabbit... was just downstairs and forgot all about taking pics. Tomorrow, I promise.
Or later tonight if I have to go down there for anything else. (I'd make a special trip, but I'm sick and on the 3rd floor with no elevator)

Well, as luck would have it, I had to go downstairs tonight anyways. Still almost forgot...again.
Here are the pics though. Again, not finished, still need to actually hook up the CB, and get some vacuum hose around the edge, but you get the idea.

I did the same, switch panel. Just cut out a peice of plexiglass and wrapped it in carbon fiber sticker and ran the wires through the center console to the radio grommet and to the battery. One switch is for my leds, the second is for my safari bar lights. The other two will be for my roof lights when i install them lol
