Just installed my new Armrest cover from www.Redlinegoods.com
Really like the way the black looks with the tan stripes with the Tan interior color.

Arm rest looks nice. Is it comfortable and loaded with cushion material? The OEM arm rest material is very cheap and mine is really flat. You can touch my arm rest and feel the hard plastic material or whatever is underneath the cushion because the cushion doesn't even exist anymore. You can just look at my arm rest and tell somethings wrong lol.

Your new arm rest kind of clashes with the rest of your interior... It doesn't really match with anything and stands out on its own lol

I ordered with new 5/4 padding. Very comfortable on the elbow.

truonghthe

looks like there is alot of padding on the arm rest compare to stock.

1 1/4 " of new padding

Seems like a really good quality product!

I dig the idea of better padding and new arm rest, but looking on their site, I don't think they have a color that matches the Taupe in our cars.

i like the way it looks good move on your part

i have one of these and it's very comfortable

Same here. That's interesting contrast. I like it actually. Mine is here:




I looks lighter than the OEM leather, but without the flash, it matches pretty well.

Both look very nice!

RedlineGoods is great aren't they?

Here's my armrest from them on my 2G



And they also did my steering wheel




Only problem with them is shipping them parts. International shipping to Poland for anything over 4lbs is expensive!

erdoc48

That wheel looks great! How hard was that to stitch on?

Might have to be my next mod. My armrest is in bad shape.

splew

Looks awesome OP. I'll probably do the same thing, since my armrest is a bit worn and discolored.

This looks really good. OP, would you please give more info as to Is the Solid leather black with Solid leather beige stripes?

LaCostaRacer

Yes, I did mine 2 years ago and the armrest looks and feels great- big upgrade from stock when you get the extra padding. I went with the Sierra color for the parchment- close (but a tad darker) match.

Looks good. I just recently took the cover off of my armrest and replaced it with new cushion.

What gray is yours? What it is called on the website?
The light gray one

Healingduck

Looks great and it's not as expensive as I would have thought.

TheLowLife

Looks good, a bit out of place IMHO, but not bad. Has to be better than the stock one..

erdoc48

Mine is the medium gray color.

Very nice. I've always liked black and tan interiors.

The 3G should have been offered with an interior that looked like that. I absolutely hate the taupe interiors on the TL. We installed a timing belt on one the other day and that was the first time i've been in one, it made me sick to my stomach. I went back to my TL (black on black) and kissed it

What color is the stripe since the stripes on yours looks like a perfect match.

That looks hella comfy. Pretty sure mine has no padding left at all lol

I restuffed my oem one too...but over time, it'll happen again. I might look into these...
the steering wheel that was done...do they stitch it on? or they send you a kit?

Steven Bell

That's exactly why I didn't do anything. I was going to have them sew Type S logo's into my headrests. But it would have cost a small fortune.

If you're talking about the OPs interior, I'm pretty sure that his IS NOT TAUPE interior... It's a "peanut butter" colored interior...

This is what taupe looks like.




I have a 08 base TL NBP with taupe interior. Taupe looks better than peanut butter interior (OP's interior), but ebony interior is always #1 on my list.

Slpr04UA6

^I am pretty sure OP's interior is Parchment or Light Cream Ivory. I don't think Taupe was offered in '04-'06. ?

I had RedlineGoods do it for me. Installation was $100.

But couldn't you take the head rest covers off? I mean, an armrest cover only costs about $15 to ship.

O7acuraTL

Can the arm rest still slide forward?

HokAy

Anyone know whats the closest matching color to the stock Beige/creamy color of a UA6?

killakam954

My armrest is absolutely gone, can it be replaced with a new one, like are oem replacements available or just diy?

erdoc48

The OEM rest isn't worth replacing- get a better padded one. I bought the padded cover from Redline, then took it to a local shop to have it installed on the 'pan' of the armrest for $35, then reattached it myself (just some screws). Also, the new armrest slides on the base like the old one. I have the lesser of the 2 pads Redline sells and it's perfect for my needs/ wants.
