Default Looking for a custom center console switch plate

My dad and I are working on a 62 Nova convertible and are almost finsihed with it. We opted to go with a late model interior in it for a more modern look. Seats are out of a Mitsubishi Galant (freebies) and the rear is stock. We had them recovered and they look great.

Now the dilema...for the center console, we got one out of a 97-02 F-body and trimmed it up to make it work. It fits perfectly fine, but the part up front that has a little storage cup, it's missing. So, we are looking for something to cover that hole up, and we want a custom plate that we can have engraved with the car information. Does anyone on here do this?

That's awesome! I'd check out emblempros, they do just about anything and everything. I'm pretty sure I've seen custom plates with build numbers and what not too...

I ordered one, and the turnaround time was unexpected to say the least. Amazing piece, amazing turnaround. The piece fits perfectly and is extremely customizable. Another great product from Emblempros!

I'm not looking for that one, I'm looking for something to cover up the enpty space where the cig lighter is. And our isn't gonna be a "switch plate"....thats just the only way I had to describe it. Noo switches...we just want something to cover the hole and we want to engrave the car's info on it.

Perhaps check this out. Another great sponsor...
They have a couple options. They are textured on one side and flat on the "back." Just might do the trick.
