Default Question about trim piece

Hey guys, I've seen a piece of trim that goes around the center console part containing the traction control button/ magnetic ride control switch in some vette's. It's almost like piping that matches the interior. Where can I find this/ any vendors that sell it. Thanks

It goes around the plastic part, or it's piping around the lid cover?

Edit***:

OK, picture is now working. Like others have said. Mid-America or Ken King.

What color piping are you looking for? I have an extra one for the traction control panel in Lt. Gray/Pewter.

You're right. That's an accent piece (piping). I got mine with my console cover. You might try the parts for sale section. Post a WTB (wanted to buy). It's also referred to as a "welt cord"

From the Mid America site:

"Also includes traction control panel leather accent welt cord (U-shaped piece in front of console cushion)."


Maybe some members put a console cover on and did not want the piping installed.

Ken King at Vette Essentials has them. Nice little touch for the console area. I have one and it looks great.

Mine came with the new arm-rest cover I got from Mid-America. The cover has the 50th emblem on it and matches not only the two tone interior but also my Vetteessentials shift **** and boot.

Piping was a PITA to get on right but does look pretty cool. finishes off the look quite well.,
