Did you try contacting them? I was looking for one a couple of years ago, they got back to me and had "found" a new one available in black. I passed on it after they said it would $499 + shipping. I had too many other projects that needed more attention than spending that amount on an arm rest. In hindsight, I should've bought it.

how hard can it be to make a workable alternative?
wood, padding, leather and a little hardware.
ne1 here think about it as a little diy fabrication project?

You may want to do search to see if a Porsche armrest retrofit kit is available in the US. Maybe NOS?

awww, save your money and just lean down and to the right, down and to the right. Maybe get a nice contrasting or complementing pillow from a big box store to aide in the comfort. That way, when you have assumed the new cool driving position, one hand on the wheel at 12 o'clock high, the other resting comfortably on the aforementioned pillow..you'll look just like any other Italian Romeo Out Crusin, IROC baby, IROC
