    That's very nice. Did you do it yourself? Even the rubbers are in good shape.

    It's a very impressive piece. It's even the tan color that everyone wants. Were any of the tabs broken off?

    Not one thing is broken on it, at all.

    It's on a coupe now, but I wasn't aware of there being any. Differences between coupe, hatch, or sedan armrests. Thought they were all the same, what are the differences?

    The car it came off only had 41k on it, but the listing didn't show the car or anything else that came off of it.

    Sedan armrests are bare next to the antenna switch and do not have an ashtray. Coupe/hatch armrests (minus the ones for hatches with seat belts mounted to the b-pillar) have a red plastic tag saying "emergency release located on buckle" and have an ashtray on the back for the rear passengers (sedans have them on the rear doors).

    The flaps next to the parking brake and the brake handle need to be cleaned. I think mine is cleaner.

    Just cleaned the brake handle and every other interior trim piece. I didn't finish cleaning the flaps because they started deteriorating when I wiped them down, so I left them alone. It is certainly a sedan armrest then, as it is completely bare, but the console portions are different, not the actual armrest, which are interchangeable.

    The flap piece also came from a different armrest (an SE-i Leather one that is in horrible shape thus why it is so dirty), the other one came with a black one but I wanted to keep the Silky Ivory color.

    The seats are clean, the lighting just makes them look dirty in that picture

    I wish we had a source for those boots around the E-brake lever. I've never seen one that didn't look like crap. That one is a lot nicer than most I have seen, though.
