If you're also thinking about changing your console color...there's always an EBAY listing for painted consoles that include a matching non-smoker insert (also a matching trim piece for the hand-brake and supposedly upgraded storage box hinge).

The price goes back and forth between about $390 and $410, but a couple of weeks ago they had a 24-hour special for $300 (all prices with free shipping) that I jumped on.

It took me a couple of hours to swap the console out (you'd be amazed at the number of little clips attaching pieces to it and the Bentley manual misses a couple of connections that must be removed) and I'm extremely happy with the result.
