Padded Leather Console Armrest Covers

we have been working on a padded leather console armrest for the 2010-13 cars and we now have one we are getting ready to launch. getting it up for sale is still in the works. it will be a cover that will install over the original lid and can be removed without any trace. it will have the same 1/4" commercial padding as the 05-09 cover, 2 top stitched seams and will have a few material options. we have one installed on a car and are waiting for a few pics but he said it fit great and functions good. also working on getting the oem leather for the 2010-13 stangs too.

what i need to know is is the majority of the leather in the newer cars a smooth grain?
or a pebble? who has what???

our test part(s) we made from the smooth aftermarket that we have. we are gonna drop that leather pretty soon and go with a 2010+ oem smooth charcoal that doesnt hardly have a grain pattern to it, very nice material for sure. fords also offered a pebble grain for the 2010+ that has a huge pebble grain.

heres a sneak peak of the new cover. will post more details as i can, mike

hey the website was a mess but ive been trying to straighten it out. check out the website and the thread in the 05-09
https://themustangsource.com/f692/up...antara-503857/

thanks you guys, i`m gonna get the material nailed down and ordered in the next week or so and all the details worked out and i`ll start a new thread when its up for sale.

we had to run the stitch lines straight off the rear. we tried to match the indent line in the U shape but it requires a huge waste of material and pucker issues with the tight curves. we think it really looks sharp like it is.

Yes! get the 13 material correct and I know many will buy. Let us know when it's up!

Will this additional pading interfere with the cup holder lid and the other part of the console ?

It's pretty tight as you can see in the picture the gap between the two parts is very small



Alcantra center piece would be nice to match my GT/CS interior...

Assuming the price is right and how easy it is to install, I'd definitely get one of these.

wish there was a way to pad the cup holder lid without interfering with the ability to open/close it....

I tend to rest my hand on the shifter and my elbow sits on that door.

the material is tight to the frt edge, the padding is only on the top, and its just on the sides next to the latch. the guy that installed one said if worked out great.

we have had alot of people ask about something for the new cars. it took us a while and we had a guy send us his lid to work with just to see if we could design something worthy. (thanks pete) i purchased a new lid to test fit all the parts we make, as we do with all our parts before they ship. needless to say, i`m pressing forward with this part, just need to iron out some details.

Hi! I too would be VERY interested if the console were padded in SADDLE. (Change that to: I WILL BUY one (if price isn't a killer) IF it's in SADDLE.

i`ll be checking monday. not sure why he didnt send me a sample of that. the material choices my supplier gave me so far for the 2010+ cars is cashmere, lt stone,and charcoal black in 2 smooth grains and a pebble i think hes holding back

for the 05-09 ive got oem parchment and charcoal in stock, and the option to get dove gray, crimson red and med. lt stone in the pebble grain. its taken me over a year to line up the oem materials, but thats the direction i want to go in. the aftermarket leathers we have are very nice too and cost a little less, so i`ll keep those options.

thanks guys for some feedback, really do appreciate it and i`m hoping to make some custom parts for the newest stangs real soon.
