Default Center Console Pics

Anyone have some pics of the center armrest console from Mid America? How are they compared to vette essentials covers?

My Mid-America cover fit very well. I eventually removed the foam liner for a better (for me) feel and a more snug fit. It was made of vinyl and the torch red sides faded to pink in about 2 years in my DD. Not sure how the leather would hold the color in this FL sun.

Here is my for sale thread with pics. The center section is leather and the sides are vinyl.

The Mid-Amercia ones are nice and they cost less, but they fall well short of the quality of the Vette Essentials ones. JMO after having a VE center console cover and seeing the Mid-America ones.

VE it is.

Agreed^^!

That is why my console is at VE now. I wanted some red for the interior and figured I would just go with the best.

I have the Mid-America center console. Is nice but wish I had spent the extra scratch and went with the VE console. Will be ordering their leather door armrests soon. In fact, think I'll call them as soon as I post here and order. Somebody else, a few weeks ago, started a post about the M-A center console. Lots of folks, including me, posted pix. Give it a search.

The MAM console is more padded than the VE console lid - I've installed both....personally I have the VE lid to match my VE interior, if that tells you anything.

I have had VE in my car for four years, and never regretted spending the money once. If you want high quality - it comes at a price.
