Default Leather Center Console Cover and Shift Boot

I'm in the market for a leather center console cover and shift boot, both will be black with red stitch. I have two choices it seems like: Ricks' or JPMCoachworks. For both items, the price with shipping comes out almost exactly the same on either site. My question is, has anybody ordered from either site and which would you prefer? Which site has the better quality items, fitment?

JPMcoachworks: http://www.jpmcoachworks.com/catalog...hp?cPath=25_39

I have a Rick's shift boot and a JPM elbow pad cover. Both are excellent. I would just go with the one that had the style/color I wanted.

I have a Ricks boot, in black w/ perforated with Silver thread. Looks real nice and very soft in comparison to the stocker!

Thanks for the responses. Although, it doesn't help me make up my mind, haha. I'm still not sure which site to go with. They both offer the same color/ material combinations I'm looking for and for the same price as well.

i've had both rick's and jpm's leather center console cover. i originally had the rick's before jpm started selling products. great piece, installation is easy since the console has plastic on the sides to slide under the oem carpet. however, fitment was okay for me - i could never get the stitching to line up perfectly (may have been my noob installing skills). the thing that bothered me the most was that the console didn't extend further past the elbow pad. whenever i would look down i'd see the leather/carpet split.

when jpm started selling his console cover i picked one up. installation was a bit harder - you have to align/cut holes for the oem plastic pins to fit through. though this did make it easier for me to align the stitching. the console also extends further past the elbow pad.

both are great products with quality leather, i currently use jpm's console and shiftboot.

They're both great businesses but I'd give a slight edge to JPM for this kind of stuff. Don't be afraid to call them if you don't see what you want or want to discuss a piece. So far I have the JPM shift boot, ebrake handle, door handles and door cards -- all excellent pieces.

Hmm, seems like I'm leaning towards JPM then.

My whole interior is made by JPM. Let me know if you want to check it out some time, that is if your Irvine is CA and not TX.

I also have a center console cover by JPM for sale in my sig.
