Recovering center console lid

[madmanjustice]

So I managed to pick up a bunch of spares for my PPV. Got the receiver hitch, rear view mirror, DIC switch, a window trim piece, both front pillar trim pieces (with Bose speakers) and a center console. All for $260.

The center console is the wrong color, but paint will fix that. But the lid is the tricky part. Do I buy a whole new lid for $45 or do I buy a new skin for half that and install it myself?

has anyone done this?

Thx

I don't have the ppv but I did replace the lid, I figured trying to staple in a new cover probably wouldn't come out as nice as just buying a lid with the cover already in place

I just recovered one and it wasn’t bad. Made sure to buy a cover that had foam on the back as I’ve seen ones without and it’s not very comfortable. Just used a large staple gun


Where are you finding entire lids for $45?

$45 is about what I paid the Dorman replacement lid off of ebay, I just had to swap the trim piece because the one I bought was black I think and mine has the wood trim

Get the new lid your time and aggravation is worth the other $22

I recovered my LT console lid with a $40 replacement "pleather" cover purchased online. It was easier to do than I thought. I actually enjoyed doing that project.

Had no idea that I could buy a complete replacement lid for only a few dollars more. My google-fu must have been extremely weak while researching that project.

I almost bought the cover only because I didn't know there was a whole aftermarket lid for way less than a new oem lid, I kind of found it by accident while looking at the covers trying to find the best price.

Hmmm, the dorman ones show at a minimum $190 anywhere. Do you happen to have a link or part number?

oops lol, I was way-off $170 is what I paid 2yrs ago, on a good note it is holding up very well I am tall and the arm rest is to high for me so I use the center console lid as a arm rest



i must have been thinking of something else

I missread the listings, it was just a cover

these guys say it is a whole lid, but I would ask them to clarify that

My 2012 doesn't have an arm rest, just the center console lid. My 2001 has a folding arm rest and the hard plastic console lid.

weird I thought they all had the folding arm rest, if the arm rest was lower but slightly higher than the console lid it would be perfect for me, is yours a ppv/ssv?

Nope, no ppv/ssv
The 2011 I had was the same as my 2012, no arm rests except for on the door

I had my 07 redone and added wireless charger to it - got spoiled with my newer ones having it - found it online and added. Just cant get myself to let go of the 07 just turned 185k.
