Nice job - did you do it yourself or have it done somewhere? Price?
I've considered something like this, but my elbow is generally further forward and off the front of the piece. In fact, my elbow has occasionally pushed the release button down. I must have a pointy elbow.

I had a local shop do the embroidering and another local shop do the leather.
They both are good.
Cost about $50 for the whole thing.
I just like that "custom, cant buy in the store" look.
With the leather on you wont be able to open the armrest with your elbow. Its just too tight now.

A couple questions. I'm assuming the leather is glued on top of the regular cover? If so, does the cover need to be taken out of the car to have the leather fitted on top of it? Also did you have any problems opening the cover or was it a tight fit? I was looking at mine and when you flip it up the back of the cover goes down inside the case, making it anymore raised doesnt hinder this much does it?
I'm interested in doing this mod myself and I have some friends that do leather work that could make this for me. Course I might change the logo a bit or if i leave it the same, do it in blue to match my car color.
Oh btw: Looks awesome!

Thank you.
I had to remove the top part of the armrest.
4 little Philips head screws. After put a little force and pry it apart.
Putting it back took about 5 min of playing around with it, but we put it no problem. I recommend a tiny Philips screwdriver.
