hello all!

i’ve seen quite a few threads already on here about the center consoles, but I just wanted to ask for myself. The leather on my center console is really sun damaged, and it seems as if someone used it as a cutting board because there are some cut marks on the leather and the leather has frayed… Is there a way that I can just wrap the center console with something, or is it going to be a leather restoration job?

If #47 is what you are referring to, then it appears it is available for $348.93 from the dealer.
You could probably save $$ by employing a local upholstery shop?

 

yes, #47 is the dreaded part, and I definetly dont have $350 for a center console lid. gonna go with the upholstrey place near me, will update!

 

Check out WWW.AAAUPHOLSTER.com . The have leather and vinyl for less than $40.00 ,

 

you are a lifesaver!!!!! found and ordered what i needed, thank you so much

 

You can actually order a brand new console lid (fabric and backing plastic) from Dorman. Its a much simpler fix that doesn't require any work attaching the new material to your existing lid. Just a few screws and clips to pop the old one off.

I replaced my RDX’s armrests with the leather option and the wife’s CRV’s armrest’s with the vinyl material without any any issues..

secondly I replaced my friends 2012 MDX’s twin door consoles with the leather option too !

 

I purchased the arm rest console cover below for my 2003 CL-S and will post pictures to show quality & craftsmanship when I receive it.
Looking at the 'regular price' of $74.99 compared to the current 'Sale' price of $31.99, I'm hoping these are over stocked real leather console covers he's trying to get rid of?
No where in the vendors 'product description' does it indicate specifically what material he is using, so, it is worth the 'roll of the dice', for me, to procure one because my 23+ y/o factory leather console cover is beyond perished, lol.


Can't tell if this is real leather or some kind of vinyl.

 

Was it leather with suede backing ?

Yes it was!
I have not had time to check sizing & fit, though it's on my to do list. For the money paid I am happy with what I received.
