2009+ Padded Door Armrests - Added to Older 8s?

Okay, I know it should probably be posted in the Interior section, but just wanted maximum eyes.

Does anyone know if the padded side door armrests on the 2009 can be added to older models? Not sure if they even sell the part w/o the whole door panel.

They haven't done much alteration to the door panels in the updated 09+. So I am assuming they glued or bolted it to the door panels on older 8s.

It'd be a nice addition considering how hard and awkward the door armrests currently are.

You can always buy this:

This product is actually very nice, feels nice and soft and the texture feels like stock.

It's manufactured by Zeta Products and I'm pretty sure that it costs less than the OEM pad from the 09.

I've seen the armrest and it looks to be a good mod, but I meant the side door panels. I thought someone did a mod for the side armrests; however, if I remember right, I thought it didn't look that stock or that great.

I second this question. I may be getting a 2006 8 soon, and the new leather side/door armrests along with the new leather center armrest are the first mods I would like to do.
