Hmm. At the risk of going off topic and axing a legit question... Imma try anyway because I thought I saw you 3G goons talking about it...

Was there some guy or a company or something that takes the OEM center console arm rest and does a custom foam job so it's not like resting on a cobblestone sidewalk?

I swear I read about that here; like a dual density foam so it's comfy AF.

Halp?

Nah, people have just taken the leather off and added foam themselves.

Are you looking to do it yourself, or have a shop do it? If a shop, start calling around. If yourself, you'll probably fuck something up, end up buying a new oem piece and taking it to a shop anyway.

It's ok. I won't be able to post whore as much until I get a feel for the new Department.

Although, my new boss already approved my December vacation time off.

We wouldn't want that..

It'd go from replacing the foam in the armrest to a full re-paint of the car in Tiffany blue and then throwing a set of $2000 wheels on it.

Although there was a company based out of the midwest (Kansas or OK or something? ) called Redline Goods that started doing steering wheels too:

For some reason, I thought there was a place that either sold a whole new leather cover ready to go with the higher density (/martymcfly) foam installed already, or did a send and return service.

But that writeup sounds familiar. Guess I should pop the cover and see what it looks like.

How's the pleather fabric on your arm rest? Worth upgrading to leather at the same time as the foam? Or are you planning on leaving it?

Apparently, 2019 models are kinda all vapor right now thanks to the shenanigans of the Germans. An indication when I'll get my fake-car is when the Audi website actually has 2019 models for the A5/S5 available for config and pricing.




It's fine. We know I'm going to pick up the car in a snowstorm. Upon which, I'll just see if I can rent some huskies to pull the car out.

It's fine. Just feels like the foam is breaking down or compressed or something because I can feel the moulding of the plastic underneath where my elbow sits. I'd like to not feel like bone on plastic rib all the time.

If I could get a leather cover, so much the better. But the pleather is fine too I guess.

Maybe a local uphoustery shop is the best plan. Let them tear it apart and rebuild in leather.

Don't you live in TX? Just go to your neighbor's pasture and just cut out a piece from his finest bull and do it yourself..
