Redline armrest

Sup guys. Im very happy with the condition of my evo 9 interior. Other than a few minor things here and there, it looks great..... except for my armrest lid
Ive been checking the for sale part of this website for a while but havent found a good replacement yet and a brand new one can go from 150-200 dollars.
Anyway.. what do you guys think of this redline piece on amazon. Have any of you bought one before or used other redline interior pieces and whats your exp with them.

Man they look like an awesome replacement for the OEM armrest...

I have no experience with them I apologise but thank you for bringing them to my attention. If you buy one make sure to post up your thoughts on the quality. They look better than the suede versions in my opinion...

FYI this is a cover, not a replacement lid piece. It re-uses the stock piece and requires you to mount the skin over your existing arm rest

Havent used this, but looks like you'd need to do the install yourself. If comfortable with it, why not?

I have used Redline leather product. They do great work! I sent them an Evo VII center console lid (I have a IX) , I want recovered to match my IX-SE red stitched interior. Being a rare part, they asked me to send the lid so they can get the right measurements. I got it back in 2 weeks, all in perfect condition. They are located in Poland. I'm about to send them my shifter boot from my 1989 Mitsubishi Starion.

If not, do what I mentioned above. Send them the piece, (contact them first) they will do custom work. They never worked on an Evo VII part before I sent them my console lid.

I have this piece from Redline. Yeah it's just a cover but anything was better than my armrest which was worn down after ten years. You have to play with the fitment for a while but otherwise I'm a fan. The only way anyone will know it's a cover is when the lid is open.
