Default Black leather arm rest for 05 XB? I did a search

Im looking for the most stock looking arm rest in black leather or something exact like my black interior. Anyone know what the interior color is called? Car just came in last night.

Your stock interior is not leather. Why do you want/need leather?
$71 is the cheapest I have seen. Exact fabric match and feels the same.

I have a leather interior...here is a shot, with armrest.



Now, if you want one, I can tell you, that mine is hand made. The kits are not making them (yet), so they have to be hand made for the armrest.

A good shop should be able to do it. I had mine done at SAT, in Fort Lauderdale...

If that does not help, sorry.

I like the look of that armrest but what I want to know is how secure the thing is? It looks like it just drops into the rear cupholder...

If i apply a little weight on it will it bend a lot ?

VERY secure. It is held down by this metal tie down bar, that connects to the seat rails. It ain't going nowhere.

I keep my arm on it all the time, and have even stood onit once, to reach out the roof, to clean the back glass.

Not to change the subject.......wheal maybe......I see you have 'appliqued' the interior as well. Do you have additional photos of these? Which brand did you use? Website purchased from?
Can an impatient older fart with no customizer talent apply these I'm cheap, and get very angry at myself when wasting $$$$$.

Is this question for me?

If so, the interior is all leather, from SAT...I got the deal through my car dealer, KING TOYOTA...

Here is a close up of the front seats...



Now the back...



Does that help?? I did not install it. I paid for that to be done; I'm old and have decided to pay for work now. (Lazy too, but who isn't, in some way?)

I bought the OEM armwrest from a local dealer for 80 and the leather shop that did my seats wraped it in leather to match the seats they did for me for 65.

I saw this arm rest at http://www.zetaproducts.net and decided to get it immediately. The device is very adjustable, has very nice leather-like padding on the lid and the inside is very softly lined, plus it has a nice cupholder attached at the rear. I paid about $185 for it. This will be a nice upgrade when my 06 comes in.







Hope this helps...
