Default New Console lid installed with Pic

Installed my new console lid I got from our CF Vendor GM Parts Direct. Good price and quick shipping, good quality. Perfect fit and finish.

Here is a pic of the OEM and New Lid so you can see the difference.

Very simple to install and all you need is a T15 to remove 4 screws. Took all of 10 mins. Use care not to over tighten the screws back in place, nice snug up will do.

I may consider putting something on the embroidery like Scotch Guard. Looks like my arm will be resting right on the embroidered Corvette emblem and it may look dirty after some use. I think it’s a nice addition to the interior and happy with it.

Hope this helps!
John

Oxi clean is what I have used on my 80 Indy TTA. Seems to help.

Looks great, John. Now you should start thinking about asking Santa to help you with your 2005's center console bezel.

Nice but I think that interior can use some more RED!
