Can you post a picture of your interior when you have a moment.

I got the light on top and it actually goes better as the dark lower blends better with the dark on the center console IMO.

Am I also seeing something around your traction control and ride selection buttons? Is that part of the console cushion? May I ask where you got yours?

I believe I bought it on Ebay but it has been a while. That is trim welt cord that came with it. it is just a piece of shale colored "leather" that fits in the grove around the traction control. I liked it and have ordered some from CorvetteMods that is being shipped now. I plan to add it to the dash if it looks good.

Default Thanks for posting the pictures of your new console cover!

I just bought my wife a 50th Anniversary Convertible this weekend; and think it looks much nicer than the stock unit. Will have to put that on our list of upgrades this summer.
