Default Center console armrest mod

I swapped out the stock center console armrest pad in my '18 Grand Sport. I think the added logo turned out to look much better than the plain jane stock pad. It wasn't cheap but I think it looks decent and an easy install. Let me know what you guys think. Below is the video I posted on my automotive YouTube channel Ozzstar. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! -Glen (Ozz)

I rest my arm on the arm rest and don't care for the idea of resting my arm on stitching.

Thanks OZZ for the video. I enjoy watching peoples vids. Myself, I am waiting for somebody to come up with Spice Red. Seems to be like finding chickens teeth.

GM sells them as an accessory.

OP - that center console cover will look great on your car.

I got mine from Cultrag; wanted a little more red and the "Grand Sport" is a nice addition as well IMO.

Or go Cheap and Cover it with a terry cloth fabric.They are on Ebay.They will Fade but cheap enough to replace.
Feels good on the Skin.Especially in the higher temps.

Thanks Ozz - Im a huge fan of your videos...Thank you for sharing!!

Remember when ordering these - make sure you pick either Mulan (1LT & 2LT) or NAPA (3LT) cause the look is different. Mulan is more of a textured look - NAPA is smoother.

Very nice. The new center arm rest looks great.

I added the Adrenaline Red Z06 version.
