Need recommendations for console cover
I find the C6 console cover is rather hard and shows wear already. I know there are console cushions out there at the usual suspects but who can recommend one? I hear nobody can match exterior colors so I would probably stick with the all ebony maybe with gray.

These are Mid America covers. I think the ebony match is dead on and the texture is even a close if not perfect match to the seats. Install took an hour. Here's the install instructions.
I had an issue with the supplied tape holding like it should in spots but I had some of the 3M tape so it all worked out and I'm pleased with the results.

This fella recently posted his arm rest cover, steering wheel and seat work w/pictures in Steel Grey leather. Quality reported to be excellent. I plan to have him recover my wheel and arm rest come spring when OURU4EA returns from her winter hibernation. Write him a line for more pictures and prices.

Something like this? But without the logo.

[/IMG] What color are you looking for? We can recover it with leather and cushion so it would be more confortable.

I am not crazy about the padded after market arm rest or the look of the slick stock one so I covered mine in the perferated leather that is on the center inserts of the seats. Doesn't do much for padding but doesn't look over stuffed either. PM me if you want and I will send you pictures. I just took them this weekend but don't have them loaded on the forum yet.

Just installed my cashmere one Saturday....the quality is good and it matches perfectly IMHO.
The only thing I'm still playing with is the latch...it requires some pressure to close because of the padding so I need to fool with it a little.

Those padded armrests look cheesy & cheap looking! Looks like something out of Pepboys!
Try Caravaaggio...they have some of the nicest & tastefull accessories out there!
