So my console lid is wrinkled / stretched out. Has anyone had their lid re-upholstered and if so how much was it? Thanks...

This can actually be fixed if you want to keep the cover that's on there now. It just needs to be re-glued. Would probably cost you around $50 at an upholstery shop.

High end quality leather console lid covers for $85.
A bit more if you want imported Italian leather.

Thanks guys for your responses! I contacted Vette Candy and didn't receive a response. They are PERMANENTLY CLOSED according to internet posting... I will check with a local upholstery shop to see if it can be reglued....and will follow up here. Thanks again!!

If you are handy, you can remove the cover, and glue a 1/4" think foam on the piece, then reuse the cover and pull it tight on re-installation.

This ^^^. Similar to the dashboard fix, just a LOT easier. Worth a try, unless you want a new look.
