Thanks Peter. The ford dealer showed me the description on the armrest part and it simply says arm rest, DX version, white stitching. The Platinum is also called the DX, I have learned. The crazy cost is probably because it's only on the platinum. I can live with the mismatched stitching. Did you also have the gap at the floor on the front of the console?
I am on the road right now and my EX is in another state. With that said I ordered and installed
Ford Genuine GB5Z-78045A36-AB Console Vault, 1 Pack
It took me more time to figure out how to mark the floor for the correct holes to be cut in the carpet then it did to install it after the holes where cut. I have dark carpet in mine, so I used a few pieces of green painter tape on the floor in about the correct spot. I then placed the console into it's spot and used a thin pencil to mark on the tape. I cut the hole with a sharp knife and installed the bolts. There is no gap under mine that I can remember it site pretty tight to the carpet. I have a 17 Platinum and the red stitching is not noticeable as far as I can tell.
