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.
Revise:
Zeta just resigned their knee pad they made it thinner then the last pad, I seems to fit a little better compaired to the old one... It still has its nice cushy feeling to it..
Here is a new product Zeta is working on...
Revise Install:
Remove the old pad.
Place the new one on using the existing velcro strips.
All done!

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.
