Default Door arm rests

I have a 03 C4S as a daily. I find the door armrests harder that my granite countertops and after a few hours on the road its painful on the old elbows. Is there a way to replace stock armrests with something a bit more comfortable? (I know, it's a sports car and its not supposed to be comfortable...)

Maybe this could be an option...

You really left no where else to go after saying you know the cars aren't supposed to be comfortable.

I do not know for sure but I bet that an upolstry shop could fabricate something for you that would look good, be soft, and not to expensive.

Robby, I agree and have been looking at what can be done. For the center console lid, there is a leather version which I ordered from Gert (carnewal), there is also some part you can buy to raise it (I did not get this). As far as the side rests I have not found an aftermarket solution but I am still looking. May have to be custom.
