But let me clarify my original question:
I was talking about a padded cover that goes over the original console door vs. buying a complete, padded console door (like DSVettes) that replaces the factory console door (not the main door panels
).I'm thinking that just a padded cover that goes over the factory console door would look a bit chintzy.

Thanks for the reply!

My center console from DSV is the whole cover replacement. I prefer it to all be one piece.
I'm sure that a console cover that slips over the OEM console would be OK, I just never considered it.

I would like to get them because I want them w/orange stitching to go w/the rest of my stuff, but $220 for armrest pads = no thank you.

I've noticed this same lack of photos (or at least ones LARGE enough so you can actually see something) on other Vette aftermarket sites.
Is it really that difficult to take and post photos today?
With websites, as when meeting new people, first impressions matter.

Plus, if you go to their website and select the color combo you want, there IS NO PICTURE available of it. I think that's why I didn't buy one a year ago.

I have not installed mine yet because the weather is still too cool out but will install them soon.

Not to bad. You could do both seats on a Saturday. Took me about 4-5 hours taking my time because I had never done anything like this before.
I have a thread here on the forum detailing the process (with photos).
Do a search or PM me and I will find it for you.

Last night, after thinking about it for a year, I ordered the padded console door from DSV: ebony sides, cashmere top.
NSF: You cheap bastard, did you buy one yet? You have several posts in the DSV thread asking about "Black Friday" discounts, etc.
Suck it up, be a man, get your credit card out, order one -- then order my throttle controller while yer at it.
My interior will look just like this:
