Looks like a C4 center console armrest pad.

I thought that may be what it is. It doesn't fit my armrest though.

That's what it is. While not the right logo, may make driving a bit more comfortable on your right arm.

My wife works for a car dealer and this couple sold it to them last Saturday. They had it for 14 years, and it has 43k miles. Other than being really dusty and dirty, everything seems pretty good.

You both will enjoy that! Drop the rear down to close all that gap over the wheels...makes the car look so much better and there is no downside.

Great looking car. I just took my 99 Vert on a 1400 mile round trip and averaged about 28mpg. Good excuse to use it during these times.

I put a set of tires on her yesterday. The ones on it had a date stamp of 10-09. Rides so much better.
