I have an extra one with the black stitching(I wasn't thinking when I ordered, I wanted the grey stitching to match the rest of my interior), if you are interested in it, PM me.

On the center console? That's a factory painted center console. The rest of the interior paint is Arctic Silver from Automotivetouchup.com and their clearcoat.

I have the "interior delete" option; very cheap, just rip it all out.

Thanks, that and the other interior stitching (shifter boot, door pulls, side airbag, seats) were done by tedious work with a silver paint pen.

I have a painted console almost EXACTLY like this. Would be willing to trade for your old bland unit + some Christmas cash. I have armrests, door pulls and a cubby painted too but pictured.
Here's most all the parts laid out….
Would need your OLD unit. Be willing to part with the shift boot too! We are talking HALF price! Shoot me an offer!
