Replacing Center Console Leather

My center console has started to bubble and there seems to be many choices on eBay for replacement leather.

Few Questions
- Do I need to buy new cushioning?
My padding is flat from my elbow sitting on it for years
- Is this easy to do?

Things I need to do
- Buy a leather piece from eBay for $33
Fits 2005 2010 Acura RL Real Leather Black Center Console Lids 2X Armrest Covers | eBay

- Remove the lid


- Peel the vinyl and put on the new one

How close to original ivory color is this company's product?

This company claims they have three colors, and that the ivory is a match for OEM. Can anyone confirm that? Thanks!

No replies to my post above, and it turns out that I ordered the wrong color from them anyway. So I would like to see if any of the members had success with color matching armrest covers from this company:
Armrest Center Console Lid Cover Leather Synthethic For Acura RL 05-10 Gray | eBay
We have the B interior color code on our metallic gray 2008 RL. To me the interior color looks more like ivory than gray, but I will admit that when I take a picture of the leather, it sure looks gray.

Thanks.

No replies again, so I will post that the gray covers from this site are pretty close to OEM color, just a bit on the dark side.
