Center console choices??
Am wanting a new center console but need help deciding. The one from DS Vettes sounds like the highest quality but very pricey! 290.00. Sounds like their leather stuff is nice though. Thanks, Grant.

i got the red leather console cover made by GM, It adds more red color and goes well with the red leather interior on my 2012 GS.
It is not padded, if anything there is less padding than the stock console cover. The price was right, $128.
The quality of the DS Vettes console I'm sure is way way better. My logic was that if i got the DS vettes console it would look out of place with the rest of the interior being stock, and it would be desirable to upgrade the rest of the interior too. I just didn't want to spend that much of my planned mod dollars on the interior (i want corsa and 19/20 inch wheels and tires more that a fully upgraded interior). I am very happy with the GM console, granted it is not nearly as nice as DS vettes.

Are you referring to the center console bezel or the lid? There's no way you'll replace the bezel from DS Vettes for $290.

I got mine from APSIS. After $130 core it was the same price, but is worth every penny. It's flawless. NAPPA leather sides, carbon leather top that matches the carbon radio bezel and velocity yellow stitching. I don't regret a cent.
You really can't appreciate the carbon leather top in the pic, but it matches the bezel beautifully and adds a nice touch of class. I'm doing matching elbow savers next, then finishing up the engine and exterior mods.
