Thanks man. That's how I sort of envisioned having to go about it. I think the chrome piece should come tomorrow. When I have time to mock it up, I'll post a pic or two to see what everyone thinks. If I decide to do it, I'd like to use something that might make it removable later on. With that panel being made out of plastic, though, not sure how possible that will be.

If the back of it is foam, carefully cut a very small recess in it and then superglue
the head of a small, short screw in it; an electrical socket grounding screw would
be about right. Drill a matching hole in the console and screw it in place with a bit
more superglue between the foam and the console. As long as you don't really
whack it hard enough to pop the screw out of the foam, it should be pretty secure.

Would it be possible to use dental floss to remove the stock medallion from the leather bib by using a sawing motion ?
