Default Champagne armrest installed!!!!!!!!!!

I finally got my new taller champagne armrest installed, with a 928 motorsports shifter (that paul also recovered to match)...in short it is nothing short of perfect....the quality is top notch & it is very comfortable....a much more natural position and softer too! Heres a couple before and after pics!

Very, Very Nice.
Paul's (and Linda's) work is awesome

Brian...that looks fantastic....are those new seats too, did you have them recovered, how do they look so good?
The shifter, the original is a T handle (right), did Paul sell you the different **** with his leather work done?
If and when I get my 88 928s4 (hopefully next week) I plan on having Paul redo the steering wheel and shifter.

Hey Brian,

I'm very happy with the results. That looks excellent. I see you didn't have any problem putting the parts back

Thanks again for the order, and I am working on a replacement for that rubber boot.

I do have a solution for the door armrests actually, I make a set of pads in matching leather with or without piping. I did not get around to actually make a kit available yet, but I will soon.

Ryan & Bob
I am very happy with the center armrest.....Paul was completely professional and answered all of my (many) emails promptly....the shifter came from 928motorsports, who were also very nice to do business with!

http://www.928motorsports.com/parts/autoshifter.php

I had them send it directly to Paul to recover it to match the center armrest....

My seats are original...except the drivers seat had two bolster panels and the upper leather piping redone in march....both front seats were then re-dyed to match....it turned out incredible....heres a link:

Thanks Brian. The work came out great, armrest, shifter **** and the seats and dye....It really looks brand new, maybe better than new.

Enjoy!

The door armrest pad/leather is something I would buy, that thing is hard as a rock now.
