Center Console
A sweaty arm and sore elbow have convinced me to upgrade my console lid to something a bit nicer......Vette Essentials? Something less expensive?
What do you guys use/recommend........?
Thanks in advance

The bare console was too much for me to live with also. I started off with the cover that Mid-America has, but the padding it had was too soft and too thick. It was like resting your elbow on a pillow, but I was willing to live with it because it was better than the bare console.
I later installed the sport package from Vette Essentials and the console cover that came with it was much better. The padding was half as thick and was firmer. Much more like what you expect to have come from the factory. It's firm enough to keep your elbow comfortable without feeling like it's sinking down into the padding.

You have to at least consider Down South Vettes. You can find them here:
