arm rest colors (shale)
The corvette forum store lists padded arm rests in grey. Does anyone have a shale interior with one of these arm rests in it? How does the "grey" compare with the shale?

I don't have one, but I would imagine that the gray is darker than the shale. If you want to get some of these in shale, try Vette Essentials - I have a set of theirs and they are very, very nice.

I looked at the vette essentials one. Very nice but $280 vs. $139 from the forum GP. I don't mind saving 50% if they look the same.

Talk about comfort!
The VE center console cover is worth every penney Ken charges. So comfy, top quality leather and great embroided logo.
Don't cheap out, you'll regret it always.
Call Ken noe and he will get the color right, no worries.

Is this a pad that goes over the factory-installed console cover? Or is this a complete replacement?
