The vinyl is called black whisper from Joanne Fabrics. It is not shiny, and has a slight stretch to it. It is the top of line material.You would swear it was leather. The job is easy but takes a little time and care to do it right. Cut and contour the foam to fit over the original,,important to contour the foam,the stretch and pull and shape and staple the leather in,which all the staple work is covered by original plastic base plate....my interior is black and tan so the console looks sweet and I can lean into it on left turns now .....it looks original but a little bigger and black You need a staple gun and half a yard of vinyl,and 1 inch green foam,,,,one hour,10 bucks

[donjohn]

are you sure the vinyl won't stretch after a few days or if it gets warm...

i'm not sure if my vinyl was the same kind, but i got it from joann fabrics and it stretched on a hot day
