Default Console covers.......

OK, bear with me, I know this is probably a topic that has been beaten to death, but I am looking at Console Covers. I just want the single colored ones. What brand do you have? Also, I can't find them in Magnetic Red so, I'll probably buy them in gray or black. Did you buy yours to match the exterior of your car? Or the interior? I have the gray interior, so I am thinking the gray or black would look nice. So, what did you all do?

I think we have what you're looking for at reasonable prices to boot!

If you want a cover for your existing console cover, then corvette mods
have nice ones that fit really good, and are softer.
I bought a VY/Ebony and am very pleased with it.

They have solid covers as well as 2 tones in all the vette colors.

I bought two of what appears to be the same cover in solid color, from Mid America.
First one was Titanium for our 2006, then Cashmere for our current 2009.
When we sold the 2006 at 44k miles, the cover still looked good. The 2009 cover still looks good at 39k miles, cleans up nicely with just a damp rag.

You remove the existing console lid and slide/stretch the cover over it.
I purchased these because they allowed me to buy some thin-but-firm foram rubber (Pilates mat, I think) and install under them. The padding in the cover plus my extra, is much easier on my elbow when I rest it there on road trips.

Here is the one from corvettemods. Padding is already built in and it's very comfortable and looks great.

If you get one of these console covers, will the lid open and close without taking the cover off?

I take it you probably have ebony interior.

Why not a complete console lid from GM

Something like this: (and priced at about $112 + shipping from one of our GM parts sponsors)

Personal opinion, you made a good choice.
In addition to being slightly more expensive, the GM version is not significantly softer than the factory version. Pretty, but hard on the elbow.
