Hell no! I absolutely despise this project! It's way too theoretical and right brainy!
I documented how I did it so it would be easier for most though. The not using any adhesive and only using tape and piecing it together works very very well. This was the easiest and best result.

Just did this over weekend. Lots of useful hints and tips along the way, much appreciated. I also took easy way with 1/2" and came out great. No surprises and ike everyone else my original foam was non existent and a gooey mess. The cleanup/prep was the most time consuming.
Thanks to OP for posting this and the additional contributors for lessons learned. Cheapest project to date on this thing. The upholstery shop wanted over $100 thats with me removing the console too. NoVa prices are ridiculous

Just did this today. Wish I had taken a little more time doing it but overall, but it came out good. I used the 1" foam.
Maybe i rushed it, but it's all back together and functions properly. Feels great since the stock padding was literally gone.... At 36k miles
I'll likely leave it for now as only I know where improvements can be made

I just tried to do this with mine. I went to hobby lobby and johans but neither had 1/2 inch so I got 1 inch.
Reading all the pages of this thread is hard to really understand what everyone was talking about with the goo leftover from the original padding.
That is unreal. I've never seen anything like it.
I think ink if I have to do it again, I'll try to get some 1/2 carpet padding. Denser and I may be blue to get some scraps at a carpet store.

Which type of leather to choose?
For the one at Redlinegoods, which material is the softest (regular leather, nappa, alcantara)? What color matches the black interior the best?
