fits 2013 honda civic, fades to a weird blue and looks matted scruffy
Fluffy and cute! This is all I hoped it would be. It is a piece of real sheepskin with a couple of pieces of elastic sewn to the bottom to attach it to the console cover. This makes it somewhat versatile concerning fit. It is just long enough for the console in my Honda Civic, which I believe is about 11 3/4 x 6 inches. The fluffiness of the cover allows for some slack in coverage, so it does adequately cover my console. I was pleased to see that I actually got the long-haired one. I am very pleased with the product. If it hadn't worked in the car I might have kept it in the house to pet it!
Update: Over a few months the silver fur, which I thought was a natural wool color, has faded to a washed out pale aqua, and this looks very scruffy. The elastic bands that hold it in place over the console show now that it is less fluffy. I will probably wash it and see whether that will improve the situation, but I suspect this will renew the curl, and leave the band exposed. I have downgraded this to a 3 from a 5.
Further update: This looks terrible. Very scruffy, slides around. I did wash it, but it did this did not renew or make it look like natural sheepskin. Whatever processing and dying they did not this seems to have removed the natural curl. I would have preferred no dye and processing, and a natural piece of sheepskin, probably bigger to account for getting matted and smaller as it ages. Note: This one is bigger than some of these on Amazon, so measure your console and consider the size. This one barely fit when it was new.
