I believe those are part of the seat frame. Unless you are just talking about the armrest part.

Ill keep my eye out for one. I did have a blue one in my parts car but i took off the armrest and covered the rest in black material. I also cut out the coin tray and added a cup holder.

You will have to weld the consolette to the frame of the seat some why or another. The switch plate from the full console will NOT swap over.

I believe you can take the consolette cover (red part) off and replace with a blue one.  The frame is definately welded to the seat.  I took my consolette out and replaced it with a full center console.  I like the looks much better.  But when I took it apart, the red molding piece came off the frame easily.

We have full consoles in gray, red and tan. The only color we don't have is blue. Plus, we'll be coming through Illinois next week. Therefore, I recommend you change the color of your interior. lol.

I figured he was replacing one on his blue car.  I had a py one and always wanted to replace it . . . until I found this site.  It was then I learned I could cut that ugly thing off and put in a center console. 

My bad if I misunderstood.

Oh, and don't be afraid to find a good one and dye it the correct color.  Nothing to the dying process.  Another thing I learned from this site.... :)

You know still a good idea though. If he finds one another color one he can install it and wait til he or one of us find a new cover.

Which now that I think of it I know where one is!!!

I'm thinking the factory consolette wouldnt work to well for you either. It took up a lot of room in my car
