Anyone out there cover their armrest in anything other than the carbon fiber cover. Mine is getting a little worn and looks ugly. I am thinking of getting some leather and covering the whole thing. Anyone else noticed theirs wearing where their arm rests. Mines not too bad but just want to spruce things up a little.

 

+1, my center armrest started wearing real bad a couple months after i bought my car.

 

Mine is developing a nice little wear spot where my arm rests. I am 6"3 so my arm sits nicely on the rest while I shift. I would rather have cheap vinyl then that cheap faux suede fabric on the lid. When I first bought the car I knew that was not going to last.

 

Left mine stock, don't really mind it

 

yeah even my drivers seat is wearing but only where that suede crap is, i guess its expected with cheap interior

 

we sportbacks have a plastic lid to the center armrest that is the same as the ES I think.

 

Maybe I'll hit up the junkyards for a cover or cough up some $ for carbon fiber. I think I am too picky.

 

i wish they would have done the same for the RAs.

 

well I had this problem and before it got to bad, I went to the local wal-mart went to the fabric section and got somethhing suitable and I wrapped the arm rest cover ....just un screw it form the inside and unscrew the inner screws and wrapit tight then replace, I have done this 2 times so far so when it gets unsightly just toss the cover out...EZ..

 

Thanks I will probably do this

 

take it out, less weight=faster time


p.s. my cat is purring really loud and im about to kick it

 

wait, are we talking the center armrest that lifts up to have the compartment under it? mine is plastic, not fabric....??

 

because your auto bro....

 

if they make a cf one...+1 for that...id like to have my dash trim redone with real cf like reTro's omg :: his interior is sexy

 

Cerius makes a CF one. Only problem is it is close to $100. I have a hard time spending that on a cover. That is almost an udp.
