Default 2004 commemorative owners

I have been trying to purchase a new upper console for my car. It has the shale interior. The console, dash, and upper door panels are much darker in color than the seats and lower door panels. Even with my vin # I received a console that was much lighter in color. Do any of you commemorative edition owners know why I can't seem to buy one that is the correct color? Thanks, Jay

Where mine has been rubbed with my leg, I can see the lighter color coming through. I am certain you are expected to paint it.

I think you must be right. These upper consoles go for almost 300 from gm. Looks like I will be painting my old one. I thought for sure I had ordered the wrong one from a vendor online, but when the second one came from the dealer it was the same light color. Thanks for clearing up this up for me. Jay

Contact DD Mods (too lazy to find link) and he can probably help you with the color, but more importantly, a modification for an awesome sound system if you are interested.
