Default Rick's Console Cover

Anyone put one of these leather covers on over carpet?
Is it easy to do?
Any problems?
Is it worth $135.00?
thanks..

I've heard they are quite nice and of even better quality than the OEM ones. If I didn't have an '03, I'd definately get one from Rick's.

I guess you like the OEM Vinyl cover then?? (j/k) But it does give you the option of changing the color to something differant.

I have one on my 02, I love the feel of it. I got it long before I started working with Rick's.

Well worth the money. Fit is nice and snug. Easy install, but best to have a helping set of hands to stretch it into place. Would recommend that if doing this install that you get a matching boot strap. I got the black leather with red stitching in both cases. Almost 3 three years old now and looks brand new.

another very strong vote for ricks cover-
makes the cockpit, imo!
absolutely perfect fit. (both size and appearance)
well worth the price-
mine is almost 5 years old now and still looks like it was part of the factory car...

Another vote for Rick's Console Cover. The leather is soooo much nicer than the carpet that came stock for my year. You have the option of perforated or not, too.

The "boot strap" mentioned above is the shift boot. OEM is vinyl/pleather, and since you'll have to remove the center console to install the console cover.....might as well switch the shift boot at the same time.

I love them both!!
