C3 Center Console

Are there any aftermarket companies out there offering complete C3 center consoles (1980-82)?

I really think the factory unit brings down the quality of the entire enterior. I've replaced all of the plastics; but it's really cheap looking nonetheless.
Thanks!

I covered my center console with a carbon-look viny, and I really like how it turned out. I'm planning to do the same thing with the shift console as well, just for a different look. Good luck to you!

Thank you. I thought "it can't look any worse than it does already!" And the best part is, it only cost $15 total, and I have enough material to do the center console and the shifter console. And it just looks....different than the other C3's I've seen. Just goes to show that you don't have to spend a small fortune to get a custom look.
