The wheels are a secret

I'm getting coils mostly for height adjustment. The adjustable stiffness will be a nice feature to have but I'm not too picky about how the car rides. I'm easy to please.

I'm installing my new leather armrest since the old one is flat and went ahead and got a matching leather e-brake boot. Looks very close to stock but it's actual leather, not vinyl or plastic. It feels warmer to the touch when you rest your arm on it. Should be a lot more durable as well. Replacing the carpet this week as well if I get the energy. After that it's all of the burned out interior lights and hopefully that will be it for another year.

Did you get them from Redline Goods? I have the ebrake boot and the padded armrest and they're both great upgrades. What color did you get?

Those are the ones! I chose the boring route. Factory black with single black stitching. They have some nice options though.

I actually got them as a B-day present right after Christmas. I stuck the armrest cover over my stock armrest just to see how it fits and 4 days later it's still sitting there. Going to actually install it on Wednesday.

How long have you had yours?

1.) 07-08 Base Tail lights
2.) Get my front camber kit installed
3.) Black out headlights

All those will be done this spring once the weather warms up.

Happy New Years!

My armrest cover and ebrake boot have been on for the past 1.5 years or so, and are still in excellent condition. I treat them from time to time with some Lexol leather protectant. I sent Maciek the specific measurements of the existing black ebrake boot (the vinyl one) and Maciek made the template for the ebrake boot. I essentially have the first one made and the armrest cover I had custom made by Redline in the gray with the custom charcoal stripe. The pics on the Redlinegoods.com site is the inside of my car.

They make some really nice stuff. I had the boots made for my MR2 (ebrake and shifter) made by Redline as well. I had the armrest cover installed over the plastic pan of the armrest done by a local upholstery shop for ~ $40, and the ebrake cover just installs over the factory vinyl (take up the right side metal strip to make the installation easier), and it looks very good once installed.

Happy New Year!
