Good luck with that. I fabricated my own overhead console modules about a year ago. It was very challenging to design a console that replaces the OEM piece of garbage.
I presume that no businesses have been interested in this because of a limited market and the amount of engineering and design necessary to make a viable product that is cost affordable to fabricate and sell at a reasonable price. It took a couple hundred hours to design and fabricate. My material cost in 2020/21 was around $700. These days, it probably would be over $1K in material and parts. It was designed about 60% via CAD and 40% by hand and fabricated to fit.

Edit: It was also a challenge to design around the side air bags/curtains, and still make them so they will deploy properly in an accident.

This looks awesome! I like the locking doors on it. This is great for those that may conceal carry on the road.

Who needs to conceal carry there, when I store/carry here.. (Less than 5 second biometric access, by either the driver of passenger).

One step ahead of me! I'm submitting my application to carry in NJ. It's a long, tedious, process, but very much worth it. I can't wait to have my van as my mobile office and bike hauler.
