It's called a welt. It's a piece of leather or vinyl that fits into the groove between the traction and console area. I have a yellow one that came with my aftermarket console lid cover or you can buy them separately.

I agree. I got mine from Vette Essentials when I bought some of their interior products. An upholstery shop should be able to set you up if they can match the color of your interior.
