that contrasting color really works great and looks nice and luxurious. Well done. Did you happen to take any pictures of the installation? Did you use a pattern or DIY?
It all started out to protect the light color material in there. I have a number of pictures for both installations in my albums PriusChat Forums - View Profile: CharlesJ Jelloslu: it is imitation ultra suede, right over the existing covers. I didn't like the center console cover that came with the precision fit car seat cover, just too bulky. My wife is into sewing so she picked up 3 colors for herself and foe me to use some. I picked the dark brown The arm rest cover is just pushed in the crack and held in place by the friction and tight joints. Tools are shown, not too hard at all and no door panel pulled. The lid is glued in place; have pictures Made a pattern of that too but beyond the basic shape, I gave up on the paper pattern and just cut it in place and glued it as I went with contact cement. If need be, I can replace them in the future, very distant future.
Went the lazy route and hand painted mine. Spray with water to soften, and used house paint mixed with fabric medium. Used goof off for when I went outside the lines.

Those arm rests are mounted to the door panel. Not designed to be removed but they could be. Center armrest can be taken apart and covered like original. I've done that and added more padding. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
I'll snap a pic later but I do upholstery for a living. So removing the center armrest and redoing is fairly simple. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
Ultimately you want something rubbery and dense since your elbow and arm will be pushing on it. But not to thick since it will raise it up higher. Unless you want it higher. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
