I haven't done it yet, but I will be putting two flush mount power outlets on the back of mine. I just ordered 2 of these guys:

I have a 400W power inverter that will find it's new home beneath the center console which will power these guys up. I removed the vents from the bottom of the console to make room for the power inverter, sirius radio housing, HD radio housing and probably a carputer someday.

alot of people use krylon fusion on the plastic. but the duplicolor vinyl and fabric is getting pretty popular and it gives you perfect match options to your stock interior color.

thats what i would go with.
