Default Replacement leather cover for console lid

I spotted these on eBay and ordered a plain old black one from the below seller.

http://stores.ebay.com.au/topgaitersboots

I fitted it and I think it came up ok so I thought I'd share. AU$45 delivered. At that price I'd be happy enough to replace it every year. I certainly see no reason for anyone to put up with the factory vinyl any longer, especially if it's cracking like mine was.



Disregard the grey colour in the pic - it's looks black in person.

They also do door armrest covers, not in Blue or red, but you can get whatever colour stitching you like so that could work for you?

I have seen long before a console lid done in suede ?.
Was this a item on T series ?.
I wouldn't mind getting a suede one.

Where did you buy it from ?, or did you get it done ?.
That look's really good, the main reason I would like it would be comfort.

Yep, I'd have gone with suede too if given the choice. But the leather is waaay better than the factory vinyl!
