Yeah...bought it and spent about 2 hours installing. But it looks great. Follow the instructions. They are accurate. Leave enough material to go inside the inner plastic piece on the underside of the armrest. That way that plastic piece will help hold the cover tight, along with the glue. The hardest part was getting the seams straight. If they're crooked it will look like your armrest is on crooked. Do several trial fittings before doing it for real. Folding the leather wasn't too bad. Here's a pic. I'll be glad to post others if necessary.

RE: Scott Drake Arm Rest Cover
I bought the one from Scott Drake that's just a plain leather cover, no embriodery on it, and it was a WHOLE COVER, not just the fabric part.. It was two screws to install, took me all of 45 seconds for the install.
ink - beautiful shifter and e-brake boot. You say those are redline? Where did you get them? Part numbers?
Thanks!!

there aren't part numbers (i don't think) cuz you have to go through the drop down menus and specify which items you want; there's a good deal of customizability available. i will say, though,that the install is not a cakewalk. the original shifter boot needs to be removed from the plastic ring that snaps it into place, and the redline boot requires that it be attached with glue. the ebrake boot is also difficult to install. BUT, i had no prior experience and both came out excellent. they do have decent instructions. anyway, pm me if you need more info! you won't be disappointed in the quality of redline's products; they totally upgraded my interior in a significant way.

This is just a pic of the underside of the arm rest. You can see how the inner plastic liner can be used to help hold the cover in place. The leather must be folded carefully and trimmed. But it wasn't much of an issue if you take your time.

Have one on my car. Looks really good, and not really that hard to install, well, my artsy wife put it on, she is good with crap like that, LOL. Anything that needs to be done "neatly" I have my wife do! She used 3M Super 77, which you can pick up at any craft store for $6 a can. Just be careful to not put in on backwards, LOL, my wife did the first time and had to turn it around, luckily the glue hadn't dried yet.
