Review
On the first drive I noticed it was a little weird hitting the gas while shifting. After about a minute or so I got use to it. I did a good 10-minute drive and noticed my leg felt nice and secure. Under heavy cornering my leg didn’t fly around as much. And if it did it didn’t hurt as bad as hitting hard plastic. The cushion Zeta makes is about an inch and a half thick and very plush. Its constructed from high quality black urethane foam that matches well with the tC interior and doesn’t look too intrusive. The Zeta pad’s design allows it to be installed on either side of the car. I think on a long drive this will come in handy as it cushioned your knee as well and keeps your leg in a straight comfortable position.

Not to sound like a jacka$$, what do you mean "while shifting," it looks like an automatic? Or do you mean when you put it in drive and then start accelerating?

Thanks!! for the feedback I have to say I owe the picture quality to my camera and Miko's photo tips, He told me to take about 3 of the same shot and pick the best one of the three once they are transfered to the computer. It really helps because you never know when a pic is fuzzy till you get it on the computer screen. Incase anyone wants to know I use a Kodak easy share LS753 5.0 mega pixel camera for all the install photo's.

How soft is it? Maybe you could post a pic of you pressing on it with your thumb to show how soft it is. Anyway I have a Vegas trip coming up and Im thinking it would be nice for that. Also, is there a rubberized coating on the outside? Im wondering if theres an issue of the black rubing off onto my clothes after a while.

Here is a close-up to show how soft it is. It has the consistency of a mouse pad, more or less. The black color is throughout the part, not painted on. This is a black urethane foam. The color won't rub off. I hope this helps.

Just wanted to add that I jsut bought the pad myself and have driven a few days with it.... i can honestly say that the product may be simplistic but it is very very worth it!!! im 6'2" and my knee is now perfectly supported in turns as well as regular driving :bow:

Now if only we can get something like this for the armrest on the door, when turning tight corners, i rely on the armrest to keep my balance sometimes and man is that thing hard!! I was going to try to wrap it with some softer fabrics, but it is held on with some sort of melted plastic stubs. Im not willing to break the studs for that.

Even normal driving resting my arm, not just tight turning. Is there anyone else out there that feels the same or knows a solution?
