EVO X Armrest fabric replacement (HELP)

Dear Forum,


I am in the process of doing some light enhancements to my 2010 WW Evo X. I ordered a new shifter to replace the worm OEM leather knob and installed LED interior lights from Precision LED (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS because they are SO bright and make your interior really pop). My next light cosmetic item is to address the worn BLACK FABRIC center console armrest.


Does anyone know:
1. What the armrest is made out of (suede or microfiber)
2. Where to purchase fabric that may be of similar type and color.


I have two kids so I don't have a lot of time to drive/call around looking for places which offer color/material matches for the OEM fabric/color. I am also interested in a similar fabric type, no leather or other options that (while may look good) will differ from the stock fabric greatly.


Any help you can provide would greatly be appreciated.




Thank You.

For a different car, I found one on ebay. color was close and can't tell the difference unless you really look.

For your Evo, I found this on Amazon

Or order it directly from them to customize it further. http://www.redlinegoods.com/

I have the armrest done in black with red stitches with a 1" piece of foam for a better cushion. I also bought matching shifter boot and ebrake boot all in black with red stiches. It ships from the UK but comes within 10-14 days after ordering.

I'll have to keep these guys in mind.

Just finished mine not too long ago...It's not too hard to do. If your fabric has a logo, the arm rest cover is a little tough just because of the curves. The shift boot was super simple
