Here is my first modification on my RX8.
I have replaced the synthetic rubber cover by real leather and some padding.
You keep all the fonctionnalities of the stock armrest.
The lock button can be chrome plated (mat or gloss).
The price could be about the half than Mazda leather part($325.95)without lock button treatment.
What do you think about this?

Looks pretty sweet! I just ordered the red leather console F/R for my 8 and awaiting for their arrival. :D

 

Um where and how?

 

I am from Paris, but it's not a problem for me, I use to sell many parts for car in US and everywhere in the world ( my last car was a Toyota MRS).
The price could be £180, but it depends on the support;
There will be 3 solutions:
I can use you stock support witch is under the rubber cover, and in this case you have to send it to me before (very easy to remove).
I can buy a quantity of stock support (I think if will take a long time from Japan).
I can built my own support.

I have to think about these solutions.
