That looks sharp. I also just ordered a new shift ****....but I have a bit of a wait for it. I like this one, though.

Thanks!!

One more question, how was the install? Was it difficult? Did you have to glue it on?

I want to wrap the radio bezel as well, have you thought about getting that too?

Looks awesome! Reminds me of the lighted m3/m5 shiftknobs.

These center console covers install without any glue. They're snug and the plastic frame on the underside of the lid can hold it just fine.

I went ahead and ordered me a regular leather cover so this suede one will be up for sale in a couple of weeks if interested.

I won't be wrapping this bezel in leather but it can be done for sure. My last DD bezel was wrapped in black and tan leather and it was very nice. Packed in a box in the attic somewhere now.

Well now I have even more questions lmao. Why didn't you like the suede one? I love the look of suede and find it much more comfortable than leather. Maybe not as elegant but I don't care.

Everything else is leather on the car so it sticks out a bit too much with my theme. It's soft and supple so no issues at all I'm just particular about things looking a certain way
