ufop Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 was looking through ebay and saw these leather armrest retrims which the guy says he does in RHD or LHD (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-MK4-ARMREST-COVER-BLACK-LEATHER-ONLY-NEW_W0QQitemZ250318750657QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250318750657&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318) anyone seen a supra with one? just wondering what the quality is like and such... dont want to stick it over my current one and mess it all up anyone got a spare armrest they dont want ready for me to mess with? lol just through it would feel nicer than the plastic :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think they would look good if they could do the whole dash to match. Maybe a bit out of place on it's own? Still nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufop Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I was thinking about maybe getting the door cars done at some point in the future too so think it could all go well together but still keep it original-ish looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ufop Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 sometimes when the price is too cheap does make you wonder if the quality sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihwaan Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Looks ok, but like everyone else said seems cheap..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have one fitted, also very good quality i think. You don't need to use glue to fix it either, just stretch it over the arm rest and hold it in place by screwing the plastic backing over the edges. You can also choose stitching colour (maybe leather colour too), as I got my gaiters from them to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 that looks pretty good actually, doesn't 'bulge' out too much like i had expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 that looks pretty good actually, doesn't 'bulge' out too much like i had expected. Thanks mate, it still has the original cover on underneath too as I didn't want to risk ripping it of and messing it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufop Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 yeah does look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I think i'll buy a set with plain black stitching. Do they feel like quality items? How does the gearknob gaitor line up, looks a bit slack towards the top, have you got a non standard knob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Can I ask how much you paid for the handbrake gaitor and does it cover the full handle and leave no gaps? I have the same handbrake cover as you so really interested to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Greddy shift knob mate, i bought the gear gaiter over a year ago and come to think of it i didnt get it from the same people. Yes they do feel like quality items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same handbrake cover as you so really interested to find out I think the gaiter was about £14, I have a slight gap in the centre at the bottom when the handbrake is in the 'up' position but isnt really noticable. Also this due to the fact that my handbrake handle sits about 15mm further fowards than the stock one- so all my fault . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah bollox, I have the same problem, I bought one a while back from them, but I was hoping it was a custom job you had done. I currently have a Momo on and that's a bit better, but again it's still not perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well they do custom stuff to (i plan to get my door inserts done at some point), maybe worth emailing them and asking if they can do you a slightly longer one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
