They look great, however do people really used them to rest their arms? My right hand is on the shifter and my left hand is on the steering wheel most of the time. It's like you almost have to lean into the door to rest your elbow there.

I bought & installed mine in January & there's been no discoloring at all, but like MSG C5, I rarely find my arm resting there. Regardless, they're a nice touch & add color contrast to my door panels.

I want some without the emblem but with the corvette on the side. Can't get them like that. It's all or nothing from what I've found. My console lid cover's emblem is already getting grungy after less than a year.

I like them but wonder what the C5 logo feels like on your arm? I ask because I have arm rest pads from Vette Essentials and while they look great, I find the stitched seam rubs on my arm on trips to a point that it is uncomfortable.
OP, do they actually have some padding under the leather?

I have had a set from VE for years, and yes I do use them a lot. But my C5 is an Auto.
