what shifter is that? I want something different and im looking for options that let me retain my factory console. I really like it.

Let us know how the suede holds up to the sweaty elbow. FYI...My old wrap got smooth and shiny, looked like **** after a couple of months..

Did you get any armrest padding? It looks raised a bit (could just be angles)....if so how do you like it?

I put a piece of 1/4 inch foam in the cover just to tighten it up a bit . Honestly I don't know I've never even driven this car I've had it a year. And I've been building it from the day I rolled it off the rollback

I bought it march of last year with a blown motor and a turbo kit . I built a turbo 370 and then decided to go stroked and nitrous
So now it is a 408 and two stages .( 200 on the direct port and 100 going on the plate )
I get very little time lately to work on it so its going slow here lately

i agree with the second post.

panel stitching is kinda "atta-nowhere". The shift boot is cool. The armrest looks like it isnt on straight. The side closest to the driver looks like it is not aligned, kinda squiggly.


Just my opinion. I always hate to put something down because you really like it, but an HONEST OPINION is what you are asking for.

kudo's for thinking outside the box tho

Yeah the arm rest could use a couple more minutes on straightening it up. And I agree on the stitching it should be centered more . But I didn't know their was going to be stitching on the panels but that's how they came . Redline asked me to install and post some pics so there. They are. Love em or hate em

And the armrest is just a cover with some elastic around it so it is simple to put on and straighten up

If you ever wanted to change the stitching, I'm sure you could just dye the stitching with a pen to match the color of the suede, that way it would probably blend in a lot more.

It's not like it looks bad, and it seems you like it, just another option.
