thanks GSPW,
The material is ACM, aluminum composite. A thin sheet of aluminum bonded to acrylic. Unfortunately you can't laser cut it the power of the laser needed to get through the aluminum would totally destroy the plastic underneath. I used a router and a bunch of 3d printed templates to get all the holes perfect. The main body and structure is plywood wrapped in alcantara. I still need to build the armrest but I'm still figuring out what materials i need and the best way to make it.
here are some pics of it installed in the car:
I'm also still waiting on a suede shifter boot and handbrake cover to complete the look
