The quality is second to none. I think it is of much better quality than OE. The covering is tight, and it looks better and feels better than the OE consoles I have seen. Ok, so you may not win an award at a car show for it being OE, but you will be glad when you purchase one vice the alternative--an old torn and worn out console. They are a little pricey, but you will appreciate the look of a new one immensely.
