Default Replacing plastic interior????

I just got my first Z about a month ago. It's an 06 Base with MT.. So far, I love the Z, but wanted to know if there are any options for the center plastic armrest/cupholder section?
Has anyone ever wrapped the whole thing in leather or is there any other option besides the plastic?

Thanks!!

Where in tx? either way, check your local junk yards and pull one in better condition...

there are companies that sell carbon fiber wrapped ones, but thats up to you...

Mine is in good condition, I just dont like the feel of it. I was thinking that leather would be the best option. Anyone know where to get that done or how much it costs? DOes anyone have any pics? I'm right in the middle of Dallas/Ft. Worth..
Thanks

while the results of that look pretty clean, carbon fiber is kind of lame. in a practical weight saving sense, I can appreciate carbon fiber, but the fad of the CF look is rather annoying.

I would look into a local upholstry shop and discuss some options with them. if you so feel inclined, it would not be difficult to DIY either.

you can peep mine, I have a leather/alcantara/ red stitching theme going. I wrapped the center console with leather and the elbow rest area I put red leather underneath with perforated alcantara on top so the perfs show red

www.gotuning.com has their gt interior wrap program. here you go !

That looks about what I had in mind.. I'm not a huge CF fan, so the leather wrapped is definitely the way to go in my opinion.
