Center Console Opinions

We are in the process of fabricating the center console. It is a simple affair, covering the shifter cables and the emergency brake mechanism. But we can't decide how to finish it. I have seen prototypes with a similar arrangement (sans brake handle) left natural aluminum. But in a car like this I am leaning toward something a bit more 'classy.' Two options: (1) black paint to match the other painted surfaces. Problem is there won't be much exposed paint when we get done. (2) Leather covering, to match the seats. That is what I am leaning towards.

A leather brake boot would also be easy to fabricate as well.

Ryan, of course, prefers natural or painted aluminum - more 'race car.'

Any thoughts, opinions or comments???
