Center Console Material

[2021 Mach 1]

Maybe a silly question, but is the center console of the Mach 1 covered in genuine leather? The stitching looks genuine to me, so I assume it's real leather?

The reason I ask is because I'm debating whether or not to go carbon fiber on the center console. If it's genuine leather, then maybe I won't. Thanks.

Never heard of stitches on vinyl?

Please forgive me if mine was a stupid question. I was just trying to learn. Sorry it was a dumb question.

Don’t worry, wasn’t stupid

I would guess just a vinyl material which is SEWN together at the seams. If you take the car to an upholstery shop, they can easily identify any surface in your car as to what material it is covered with. Good Luck

Ford at our price point barely puts real leather on the seats so they won’t on a trim piece, but in my opinion it is a nice textured vinyl. CF is an interesting choice, keep us posted.

agree, the vinyl with the sticking looks pretty good. Nonetheless, I'll likely go CF for the center console. The plan is to do as much carbon as possible excluding the doors...steering wheel, A-pillars, dash, center dash, and center console.

I did all of that and more Except, I decided the center arm rest would be totally uncomfortable to ride around with my arm laying on it. IMHO, just enough CF looks great, To much looks gaudy. Good Luck, keep us posted.

Wow, what else did you add on top of that list? The doors? Rear seat panels?

I did Trufiber Replacement Front Dash (Dual Gauge), Replacement A-Pillars, I had a Flat Top-Flat Bottom Alcantara and CF Steering wheel made, Trufiber Replacement Front Radio/Navigation bezel (Have Not Installed Yet), Cup Holder, Gear Shift Bezel, Replaced the Door Handle Bezel, Door Grab Handle, Door Window Switch Bezel, Seat Memory Switch Bezel, were all done with CF Skinning over OEM Parts, Door Speaker Rings, 3-M Tape CF or Hydro-Dipping?, lower Dash Switch Knob switch CF Covers. The Only Other One I am planning to do is the Overhead MAP Light Assembly but waiting on a replacement panel, Maybe TruFiber Center Console SIDES and that's it. still thinking on those. Exterior: Anderson Composite CF Super Snake Double Sides CF Hood, GT-350 CF Side Rocker Panels, AR CF Quad Tip Rear Diffuser, CF Front GT350 Fenders, Shelby GT350R Type OE Rear CF Spoiler, Third Brake Light 3M CF Cover. I did most of this last winter. Good Luck

THAT'S SERIOUS carbon!!! Exterior I'm going to do the grill and the hood and rear spoiler. I just found these from Rexsupersport (never hear of 'em)...

They Look Sharp. Are they 100% carbon fiber or Hydro-Dipped. I know for a fact that allot of places will not disclose until you physically ask them that question. Hydro-Dipping does not have the 3D affect, Carbon Fiber Skinning does. Good luck

I decided to purchase the carbon fiber console and knee pads in the matte finish from Forgitec. They have a 20% off special going on right now so, I took advantage before the prices go even higher. ~$800 total out the door about the same amount as purchasing the stitched console from Ford. I hope this looks as good as the photos and youtube videos. The plastic console has been an eyesore for me for the past two years. I definitely didn't want the shiny surface. Will post pics once I have the pieces installed. If it looks great, I will pick up the dash pieces but, not the entertainment section or other pieces as I believe a little goes a long way. Then I will pick up the Shelby Gauge Pod to complete the interior.

Just revisiting the center console material. From my order, is shows the following: "CNSL TOP PLT-LTHR/STITCHED INS". So, the console top plate is described as "LTHR/STITCHED INS". Doesn't that suggest that it's actually leather? Or no?

All my references say "wrapped" for the 700A option. Whatever it's wrapped in, I like it. Nice.

Early next year though, I am planning on replacing the plastic in the dash with CF from Trufiber. Dash, the dash inlay where the chassis # is and the bezel around the radio.

I'll plan (LOL) leaving the rest of the interior as-is.
