Default Console Panel Fabrication

Any of you try fabricating some new center console panels out of 1/4" plywoud or maybe some aluminum instead of the old original cardboard. Mine need replaced and I was just looking for some better alternatives.

Mine are made out of masonite. Its flexible, cheap and perfectly smooth on one side to glue the carpet on.
