Too bad the guy selling them is a complete asshole and banned from our site.
BTW, what's he need the stock one for? Is he just overlaying it on the vinyl? That stuff is soft, won't this crack?

it wont crack, i have seen his other armrests that he has done. they dont seem like they will crack.. i have full carbon fiber interior from him, looks good. holds up pretty good. only couple spots i need to get fixed.. i would buy this if i had the xtra money.. hes a nice guy in person, and the quality of his stuff is good. u cant get CF stuff from many places custom like that for the price..
3x there worth??? hows that.. u cant get a CF armrest anywhere else.. try finding someone to make u a resined on 100% CF armrest for 30 bucks..

I'd consider it, because I want some CF in the interior, but I use mine as a armrest, and often lean all the way on it to adjust my seating position. I think it'd crack. Prolly just one layer of CF over the soft rubberish armrest cover.
That's why I think it would crack. Looks VERY nice though.

am i the only person that thinks stuff like that looks incredibly stupid. its like having a carbon fiber headrest, its completely out of place. the cf armrest against the greyish textured plastic will look dumb. and it will crack if you actually use the armrest, not to mention it will be super uncomfortable.

^^ditto man, to me anything cf overlay is kinda greddy2.gif, real cf parts are cool though. like parts where you actually do lose some weight by swaping it out.
