Assuming the question is for everybody. The cord comes with the console lid cover. You can get the Center console lid cover from Mid-America, Redline Goods or Vette Essentials. All of which are supporting vendors. Not bashing Redline Goods or anything but if you're getting one piece ( i.e console lid cover or shift boot) from them and planning on getting some other pieces later like hand brake boot or door pull cover from another vendor. You're better off getting the whole kit from Redline because the color at least the Gray does not match the gray from Mid-America nor Vette Essentials. Got first hand experience on that one. Ended up selling my center console lid cover. But the Gray/pewter of Mid-America can be mixed with Vette Essentials because they are very,very close with color. Hardly any difference. Again -first hand experience. I've been thru 3 console lid cover and found the 4th one to be perfect which is what in my current pic have.

I have seen a few guys who have actual carbon fiber pieces in their interiors. If we hold out maybe we will see some here.

We are talking about interior pieces, specifically the the radio/HVAC bezel, not under hood parts. RIF.
