Yeah, I was thinking gray upholstery vinyl or some type of felt fabric. I'll post a pic when I get it all cleaned up.

Get the legs padded and covered in tan leather to match the dash. Have the guy stitch a 10"X10" square of hook (scratchy side of velcro) to it. Get some self adhesive pile (soft side of velcro) and stick it on the bottom of the laptop. That way it wont scratch anything else you set the laptop on while not in the truck. That sucker wont move then and it will look

Sounds like another vote for velcro. The peer pressure is killing me

Liquid nails would be safer but not as much fun
