New Armrest Cover

I bought an armrest cover from Redlinegoods.com in the medium gray color with charcoal accent striping- my factory cover had a few small dimples in it, so I wanted something better padded and newer looking than the factory cover. I'm really pleased with the results:







I got mine with the 6/8" padding which is more than enough, and had it installed at Al's Custom Interiors in Mount Holly, NJ ($40 for installation on the factory armrest pan)- I thought I might not do such a great job on it. Maciek from Redlinegoods.com was great about answering all my questions by email promptly. The cover was $65 and $19 for the padding. It's worth every cent and really upgrades the interior. This is one of the best upgrades I've done to my car.

Redlinegoods.com leather goods are of fantastic quality!!!!

Just out of curiousity, what is the MSRP of the OEM armrest cover?

It looks good, BTW.

I think OEMacuraparts.com has the lid assembly with the padding and vinyl cover (I don't think it's leather) for ~ $150.

That armrest matches the interior quite well.

Here's the website for Al's custom interiors in NJ- they do excellent work, and if I need any upholstery work done in the future, they have my business:

Still love the show to this day even though it's been off the air for at least 10 years.

None taken. It was just my personal choice to get this done. If anyone wants this done, it can be solid (1 color) as well.

Looks awesome dude! I wanted to see how that would turn out. I want to get the matching shift and e-brake boot in black with red stitching and wasn't sure about the arm rest, decision solved.

I sent Maciek from Redlinegoods some measurements for the ebrake handle cover/ boot- hopefully he can have redline make this, and I'll post pics again once it's made.
