Here is the finished product. There was no way I was going to be able to peel up the leather after it was stuck down... I would destroy the foam underneath. And every imperfection in that foam WILL show through the leather. You can see in this picture how the stick rolls over in the e-brake cut-out. I am hoping it looks good once it is all back together, or I will be getting another one and doing it all over. Luckily, that can be done after the whole project is done, as it will not affect the drivability or finished status of the vehicle. And I don't have to remove the whole interior to get to this piece. It's actually one of the easier parts to remove.
I am impressed with the RedLineGoods console cover, the material quality, and the overall product for the price. If I hadn't already bought all three main items they off for the FD, I would definitely have made further purchases based on this item. (ie shift and e-brake boots)
