Default *NEW* Center Armrest Cover from Redline Goods

Redline Goods now makes a cover for our center armrest, so you can have it match your Redline boot set or even better, your RS 1.0 or 2.0 seats! Fit and finish is top-notch, as expected from Redline. Pictured here is my black faux-alcantara cover with medium blue stitching, to match my seats and boot set with med. blue stitching. You can customize it with your choice of leather & stitching colors, just like the shift/ebrake boots.

The entire set (shift boot, ebrake boot, and armrest cover) is $100, while the armrest cover itself is available for $50. Additional pricing information is available at their website http://www.redlinegoods.com. If you check the sponsored sales section there might be a nice coupon code waiting for you... *hint* *hint*

Enough talk, here's the pics!!

damn that's hot! I've been waiting for a company to make a cover for the armrest, I hate the material that comes on there stock, so uncomfortable.

Do they make an Alcantara shift boot and e-brake boot too? Cuz the ones in the pic look like perforated leather...I'd like all three to match.

Awsome armrest cover. but I would like the e brake and shifter in the same material.

BTW I priced perforated genuine Alcantara for my door panels ( 2 yards )

$105.95 PER YARD + shipping and various other emotions

ill-legal: of course we can make all of them from Alcantara. Here's our material color chart: http://www.redlinegoods.com/clrchart.shtm

Celt - not from us. All our leathers are $60 per square yard.

I'm not sure if Redline has real Alcantara, but the faux-Alcantara on my armrest feels pretty good.

il-legal: I chose leather for my boots because I didn't want Alcantara overkill inside. The perforated leather is pretty hot. I really like the medium blue stitching because it finally brings in blue to the interior for our RS2s!!

HOLY CRAP! I guess if you want to pimp the RS2 out, that's the way to do it!

it looks like it matches the seats pretty well from that pic, but pictures can be deceiving at times...my two questions for you would be:

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate
1.) the color match as far as the faux alcantara with your seats?
and
2.) the durability of the faux alcantara?

Redline Goods, it looks like you just might have another sale coming up...

these aftermarket companies need to stop making such cool stuff damnit! My credit card is taking a beating...lol

I'll go stare at it when I get in the car later, and also ask my gf when I pic her up. I thought it would be waaaay darker based on the pic of boot-set with red stitching on Redline's site, but with the nature of suede-like materials it all depends on the lighting. Remember how our seats looked light grey when the first pictures were on SL? I'll post again later tonight with more feedback on the color match.

Thank you!

Matching colors on the web is always difficult, everyone's screen is set to different levels for contrast, brightness, etc, then you have to take into account the lighting conditions in pictures, and so on. I just want to know how it looks in realtime, as far as matching the interior on the RS2.0 since that's what I'm contemplating putting mine in (and since that's what you have too!). Thanks again in advance!

Okay, so after staring at it for a bit, the Redline black faux-alcantara is close to our RS2.0 seat color, just a teensy bit darker. The gf had the same conclusion.

From the pics it looks near identical, and it sounds like you had to REALLY examine it to tell the difference...which is good enough for me! I think I'm gonna do it, I just can't decide if I want to go with blue stitching or just have it match the faux alcantara...what color blue did you go with on your stitching?

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my inquiry!

The only one I found expired July 31st, the day before you posted this...am I missing something? I was all set to order but now I can't find a current coupon code.
