That looks sharp. I also just ordered a new shift ****....but I have a bit of a wait for it. I like this one, though.

The night/light look is really cool. Nice mod!

Thanks!!

One more question, how was the install? Was it difficult? Did you have to glue it on?

I want to wrap the radio bezel as well, have you thought about getting that too?

These center console covers install without any glue. They're snug and the plastic frame on the underside of the lid can hold it just fine.

I went ahead and ordered me a regular leather cover so this suede one will be up for sale in a couple of weeks if interested.

I won't be wrapping this bezel in leather but it can be done for sure. My last DD bezel was wrapped in black and tan leather and it was very nice. Packed in a box in the attic somewhere now.

Well now I have even more questions lmao. Why didn't you like the suede one? I love the look of suede and find it much more comfortable than leather. Maybe not as elegant but I don't care.

Everything else is leather on the car so it sticks out a bit too much with my theme. It's soft and supple so no issues at all I'm just particular about things looking a certain way
