Default Question on Console Covers

Has anybody purchased the carbon fiber and leather embroidered console cover from mid america and if so did you like the quality and appearance. I was thinking about just buying the black one with the embroidered logo.
Thanks.

Hey, weren't you the one I sold my console cover to. Matt right? Sorry if I get your name wrong-( not good with names ) How are you?, I assume you're loving the cover. By the way, I love my new cover and they did give me a new strip. I know JD's looking for the carbon fiber console cover but here's my new cover in case JD's C5 changes his mind.
The first pic is what mrm1149 is trying to post I think and the second/third pic is my new cover.



I know it does not look as taut/tight as my old one, it is tight but because of the checkered flag, it has more stitches where the leather are pulling against each other.

That is the console cover I was looking for pics of, with the checkered flag. Does anybody have the yellow one?

Thanks guys. I was looking at the black with the red accents from mid america but they are sold out so that is why I was looking at the carbon fiber.
Vette essentials has some really nice ones but they are almost 3 times the price with the C5 logo. I like them but $280 for the console cover is a big hit. They do have a lot of nice stuff thought. Their steering wheels are awesome.

HI JAIME>> Love your old cover I bought. Wasn't trying to post above. What happened is that the forum was all out of whack yesterday, thus the multiple unintended posts

JD,
The 2000 we just bought has a black one with red accents. We take delivery on Thursday. I can post up pics then, if you still want to see them. Not sure if we will be keeping the cover or not, not real sure if we like it yet.
