leather would match the steering wheel.

 

exactly, but it wears out faster

 

i just think the suede would stand out unless you reupholstry the interior but you must always remember to each his own when modding your car.

 

pfft im not doin the whole thing, its just cotton to me. i rather change the whole seat to a racer seat than just do the upholstry

 

or you could buy the jdm center console. search it to see what it looks like.

 

yea i remember lookin at that when i first got the car, too expensive for somethin jsut to put my arm on.. I remember how frustrated i was that it didnt have a center console. what would you rather pay for, 200-300 for a whole center console, or 20-30 bucks for a quality arm piece?

 

neither.... i have a manual so my arm is too busy shifting.

 

stick with it man, steering-mounted paddle shifters are a pain in the ass, its hard to make ur arm a 180 and have a good flexiblity and turn and shift at the same time. Im hoping the next model will have it mounted on the steering-mount itself, like in formula 1 cars: more control and ease

 

i dont really like paddle shifters but thats just me. i love three pedals.

 

and i agree with u, i rather have 3 pedals instead of paddles, but i have some of those days where i need auto. One thing i DEFINATLY hate about the paddle shifters, you cant lean to the right. you kno how some drivers lean to the right a lil and pout thier arm on the arm rest or the gear shifter, thats me, paddle shifters you need both ur hands n it blows hairy balls. [i hate people who lean so far right it looks like there sittin in between, thats just simply too much leaning]

 

my motto is the left foot needs some love too.

 

lol another reason to thank yourself for gettin a manual, theres no dead pedal in the base/sport, but then again you can always buy it so meh

 

zeta makes a pretty sweet dead pedal.

 

I went months without a dead pedal, started sittin like i was in a chair =\ annoyin but hey, went months without it, wats a couple more years eh?

 

maybe you could make a sweet mahogany dead pedal?

 

CCCCOOMMMBOOOO BREAKKKKERR .......... had to do it sorry continue.. arm rest ftw even tho im 5 speed

 

rofl y mahogany? i love workin with my hands but its not like i would love to build a log cabin lol um ill look into it maybe, gunna be walnut or maple tho, mahogony, wont be able to show it off lol hope dat dont upset u

 

ron burgundy once said "my apartment smells of rich mahogany."
i suppose mahogany is supposed to smell good and rich?
putting mahogany trim in the fit would be like using a play station 3 on a black and white television.

 

hmm tru dat, but im not dat much of a wood freak, or maybe im thyinkin that wood and cars dont match. i never liked those station wagons that had wood paneling lol or wood paneled the PT cruiser

 

under no circumstance does the pt cruiser or ford station wagon ever and i mean EVER look good. wood doesnt really match a car is true. but it was just a thought since your in wood shop.
