It may be me, but I'm always rubbing my elbow on the center console when shifting. It does indeed cause a bit of "carpet burn" in the elbow region. I have thoughts on covering it in vinyl, or perhaps leather. Any ideas?

 

leather might burn more no? especially if its hot out? :X

 

I use the console as a rest... but don't think I've ever given my elbow "console burn" ... are you just too lazy to lift your arm up?

 

"console burn" thats funny man. I think its just you. You can always try to put some padding under it or something to protect your elbow.

I'm not lazy, just long legged and armed. The material in my opinion is somewhat course.

 

Same here, the material kinda sucks.

 

my elbow doesnt rub. u just have some longgggggg arms.

 

I have long arms too (I'm 6'3") and I don't have any rubbing.

 

it's freakin' sandpaper, man; are you kidding me? and i have an automatic.

</bah boom>

 

I have mine covered in vinyl. Looks/feels like leather, only it isn't!

 

Dude, come on... you gotta wear elbow pads. Don't leave home without them.

 

cover it with black microfiber...

 

It is a bit rough on the elbow

 

i got a reallllllllllly bad burn from that ............i usually rest it on there when im cruising but when i move to shift i usually get a burn ........nothin big tho.........i dont know if it'll look normal but maybe putting suade on it would be better

Great, do you have any pics? Did you do it yourself? Thanks!

 

your mom got "console burn"


sorry... i had to

 

damn..I was gonna say that he should take his knee pads off and put them on his elbows.

 

if you think vinyl looks and feels like leather, you have bigger problems than an armrest

 

I did not post" ]I have mine covered in vinyl. Looks/feels like leather, only it isn't![/quote] go get gas money from mom and pops, and find yourself!

 

Hmm, I'll post a pic one of these days. I was under the impression it was a fake leather, maybe vinyl is the wrong term though. Hell, maybe it's leather. I'll take a pic when I get around to it. It looks just like those katskin leather interior pics.

And whoever said it, are you pointing that "mom/pop" comment to me?
