Welcome to the forum and congratZ! Looks like your Z formerly belonged to a cat with that arm rest. Hope you get it sorted easily. Interesting how Z's vary from country to country, never noticed drink holders in the arm rest on US ones before.

Default Finally...I've got new pictures of my Z

I took the Z to the carwash today so I decided to snap a few new pics to share:

Now that I've had the Z for a couple of months I can say that it is everything I had hoped it would be. This is by far the nicest, and most powerful, car I've owned to date! It's not perfect as the driver's side arm rest paint is coming off and there's some discoloration on the driver's side door panel where the the arm actually rests. I bought a groupon for a professional car detailing so the next opening they have my baby will get really pampered. I'm hoping to use that appointment to learn how to clean the car correctly as I've never been great about this sort of thing in the past.

I also purchased a set of the OEM floor mats and the Nismo 380RS Gas Pedal from Z1 so I'm looking forward to getting those soon. Hopefully, with the new pedal, I can actually learn how to heal-toe shift. The most difficult thing for me is that I'm a big guy and my leg is usually at the opposit angle for heal-toeing. I'm hoping that this will make it easier for the side foot method.

get some 3M carbon fiber vinyl and wrap both side of the door handle. Easy $30 fix and well worth it!

I ordered the matte dark grey so hopefully I can get it to look decent!

Sounds like your Z is about to have some serious TLC. Will be a serious mirror after that.
