I can't remember the name, but I have it at home (away this weekend). I have it in my 2011 GT Premium, the quality is incredible, and the color is a great match for Ford OEM Saddle. Want me to send you the info when I get back home?
i checked with katzkin, they might sell me a hide if i open a account. ive got a couple dealers of theirs to check with on it. they couldnt give me a price on the leather till i open a account. so theres still a slight chance but dont hold your breath. this move coming up for me might lessen the odds.

Update: my armrest cover has totally relaxed and the latch button works even more seamlessly.

I still can't believe how nice the leather armrest cover is. Everyday I get in my car, smile and realize what a great custom piece I bought.

Mike, you need to get a patent on these, add a small company embroidered logo, sell them to performance distributors, and retire very wealthy.

thanks very much for the kudos and the update, the latch is a slight issue but i felt it would work out ok in time. ha, i wish i could run with that idea and be a happy old man, maybe get a newer stang. wouldnt seem right though, life has always been a struggle for me. i see my competitors are close behind me. but thats ok

I just installed my armrest this evening and treated it with a good leather cleaner/conditioner and it matches up perfect with the seats! I have to agree with the the others this is a great product and not difficult to install.

Thanks again!!!

It's a great product. You are a craftsman. It looks good the first day. But a week later after the leather relaxes, it looks beautiful. Maybe a permanent piece that looks like your current one that you could charge more money for.

Got my console cover the other day. It looks amazing! Together with some parts from American Car Craft, American Muscle and SHR, the interior really pops now! Pics coming soon

Got my shift boot last week and it looks awesome but I haven't installed it yet, so no pics. (I'm gonna wait on a MGW and do both at the same time.) Think I'm going to order my eBrake boot (along with the console cover) with gray stitch to match the handle and then see if I can't dye them both to match the rest of the gb stitch. (I could order the boot w/ gb stitch but then if I dye the handle, the two might not match as well.) How long 'till the big move?

The hardest part with the shift boot was the **** clips holding in the rectangle trim ring or whatever. It was such a pita to unhook the tabs. Youll see. Once thats out its smooth sailing

do those tabs have a twist to them that locks the ring on?

Ordered a cover with medium pebble outside/smooth center and gray stitch. I'm guessing that is what will match my premium leather seats the best.
