How about reupholstering the top of the center console in black quilted leather as well to tie it in even further?

I have to admit that the upgrades look great! I have considered doing the same thing to my 2006 Vantage. My only concern about shifting and arm rest position seems validated in this thread however so I think I will keep mine stock.

Your upgrade does look really good though!

HenryM, I don't have the factory Ipod hookup, so I'm not sure if the cable would be long enough.
Mine is from Nav-TV and works great.

KF is the master when it comes to re-upholstery, you should check out some of his threads! (Pun intended
