Hmmm, yep I'm a member there (f150forum) too. I'm a Ford truck fan in general. This happens to include Raptors. I can't be completely sure but I think your truck and mine may have a few of the same parts. Mine are obviously shittier than thou of course.

The reason I joined this forum was because of the great information with regards to trucks in general. This forum happens to have a ton more information than f150forum in that aspect. I read the rules, and I guess I missed the part where I am required by law to own a raptor to be a member here. Thanks for the heads up "Raptor AL" you are undoubtedly a fine businessman and scholar.
To the other posters with actual insightful information, thank you. My truck is a 2011 and unfortunately isn't a Raptor. Way back in the day, I made the poor decision to buy my girl a set of fake **** (call me a sucker) and not purchase one and I won't lie, it keeps me awake most nights in a cold sweat. Bahahahahah ;)

Actually, you will have more luck on f-150 forum. I saw a few steering wheel upgrades. I was just stating my opinion that you may have more luck on f150 forum. I never said that it is a bad thing for regular f150 guys to post here!

Hope you find a solution and post up some pics when you do

I was just giving you a hard time (see smilies), I had no idea he was actually going to contact you about a console cover. Looks like it's a win / win.

Nice turn around.... Don't you have a custom center console with a motorboat you could make him???

Actually, since you work with leather, have you rewrapped any steering wheels?

To the OP... Nice turn of events this thread took. I'd say you already have an upgraded steering wheel.... lol...

Wow....Hate to bump an old thread but I was looking at getting my center console redone. The cheap plastic in the Raptors suck and on top of that my interior has the blue stitching. Am I going to be forced to use "Raptor Embroidery", formerly "Raptor Al" to do my center console on my Truck? I remember when I had a Lariat and I was looking at upgrading my steering wheel and he treated me like shit for having a Lariat and posting in the high and mighty Raptor Forum. I'll pay someone else more as long as the work is quality. Hell, I don't even want the gaudy logo he places on everything under the sun. Simple black leather with matching blue stitching is all I want/need.

My dad told me something one time and I never forgot because we own a business with a lot of customers. He said "treat each one of your customers well, if you do, they will go and tell a few people about us and then they will become our customers too. Treat 1 customer like shit, and they will tell 10 people just how ****** you are".

I'm sorry. I didn't know that pissed you off. I totally didn't mean it that way.

In fact, for me "treating you like shit" you can send me your console and I'll do it for free to apologize for my actions.

Thank you for the comment on my Gaudy logo, I've worked very hard on those.

I'd be happy to wrap your console with black leather/blue stitch to match your seats. I'll also include 1/2" foam.

Let me know what you think.

What a 1st class response. As a business owner myself, I think that offer is awesome and should go a long way. It's refreshing to see a response like that!

Raptor Al, don't worry about the gaudy comment, it's just a personal preference. Hey buddy, I have a blue interior. Some people think it's ugly as hell. Doesn't matter though because in the end it's what makes us happy that matters. I accept your apology and appreciate your offer you have extended. As someone else said, that was a first class response. I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and just happened to catch this old thread and I vented it to you because you were in reach and I hate my plastic center console :). Aside from plastering the Raptor logo on everything, it appears that you do some quality stuff and have made a lot of people happy. I've also read your posts randomly at different times and you seem like a pretty cool cat, white Oakley's and all.
