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
