Sueded my armrest today. Took some time getting everything stretched and tight, but it looks great and I used NO GLUE. so i am happy with it. It contrasts nice with the headliner. PM me with interest.

See this is an example of a unique, tasteful, mod. Unlike the piece of black vinyl randomly stuck on the rear bumper....

Nice work!

Looks clean. Although a suede armrest will eventually get funny wear marks on it.

lol its pretty straight forward. the biggest thing is stretching the suede and getting it to hold while you screw the armrest back together. this way glue is not used, and it doesnt get messy. its more difficult, but it pays off. put it in a box and send it to me, Ive got plenty of suede from my headliner installs

I haven't been in the Z in nearly 2 months, but I don't recall the storage comp lid having enough room around it for suede to wrap all the way around. Pretty interesting...

By the way, what is that third button next to your seat warmers? You have an '06 MT coupe as do I, no matter the trim. Mine is just a space saver in that spot. I've always wondered what goes there...
