Leather Console Lid Upgrade

The OP mentioned the stitching isn't that bright and pretty close. The flash made is pop out.

Yeah, I just wasn't sure since the OP was done in 2010. It looks like I will go ahead and order one and see how it comes out.

I hear you! A risk I'm willing to take along side ya.

The OP was saying that it does not match the seat stitching but matches the grey paint on the center console.

Thanks!

I think someone posted that they had it done at an upholstery shop to match exactly and it was cheaper to do?

I know my leather console in my last SVT truck didn't last once the weather set in. My truck gets dirty and wet sometimes inside and I can't see myself having to condition the console again all the time. I think that's why ford offers these raptors to withstand multiple conditions. It is great cleaning these vinyls over leather. Some thing's to consider.

Yes. Got it padded and covered with what looks like the same color leather (French stitched to match seats stitiching) for $100. More padding than the Platinum OEM console lid.

Leather Center Console Lid Options

I am trying to decide between these 2 for the replacement of the center console lid. The second picture is from the Platinum and is about $100 more and I'm wondering if it is worth the extra money. Has anyone used or seen one or both?






@@@ I Guess im trying to decide if the platinum one is worth the extra cash. @@@
