Made my own padded leather center console
 

This was easy and cheap. The leather cover came from UK, bought it through eBay. Took 6 days to get here.

For the foam, I ended up finding padded memory foam floor mats at Walmart for $9. They were perfect consistency and easy to cut.

I've got to redo the stables and flex out some areas (in pic see right bottom, its doubled over gotta cut the leather a little) but for now it's good.

Took me an hr.

Yea the cost is what drove me to this.

Lisa, the leather came stitched. If you ebay search "Corvette armrest" you will find the UK seller selling these. :cheers:

It's amazing how more sturdy, and rigid adding the padding makes the center console. No more movement.

Here is the pad I used, was on sale for $9 at my walmart

Really any pad that .5 inches will work.

Thanks for all the info Chester. My husband had a fit when I told him I was wanting to get a padded console lid.
