Default Center Console Cushion

I received my console cushion today from Auger Resources.

(www.augerresources.com) It is an excellent product at a fair price.

The shipping is also reasonable. It is made out of a material called

"ultraleather". It is very soft and the stitching is perfect. It has no

embroidered emblem which greatly helped keep the cost down.

This is a very good company to deal with. They are friendly and they

respond to your E-mail very quickly.

Shipping from California to New York took only three days via US Post

Office Priority Mail.

You owe it to yourself to check out this product and their other

products.

Those look really nice, and the price is good too.

Are they a lot softer than the hard factory pad?

My only question is if the console will open all the way with all that padding? Looks like it may inhibit the console from opening as it does with the standard armrest.. It does look good and installation also looks like a breeze.. Can't find much vette stuff for $30...

Default Center Console Cover

It is a lot softer than the factory cover and opens and closes perfectly.

Padding is sufficient but does not make cover as big as it looks in the

picture.

Looks like a nice alternative to consider to up the eye candy esthetics of the interior. Thanks for the heads up.
