New leather armrest with padding
 

Sorry for the mistake : this topic was originaly in the exterior appearance section :o

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 damn good...love the silver/aluminum non-gloss button...

how much you selling them for (or give us a website so the Moderators don't yank this as a sales pitch)

It soundslike a nice idea to me as long as you dont live in a hot city wherethe leather will burn your arm afterleaving the car baking in the sun forseveral hours.

HeyI just noticedsomething! The stick on that guys car only shows 5 gears. Whatthe hell is the deal w/that?

Europe & Japan you have the option for a 5 or 6 speed no option for a stupid Auto...which Europeans hate those autos

In Europe we have at least 2 models:
-231hp 6speed (manual)
-192hp 5speed (manual)
and we love these cars :) :) :)

Auto = automatic, not automobile. :)

Any idea where you can get the chromeplating/metalplating of plastic parts done (or how to do it). I would like to do something like this to my centre console side stips (as mine are a little scatched). :(

Thanks.
