Default Armrest suggestion

I am looking for some armrest pads. My interior is 2004 shale. I don't want any fancy stitching or lettering just solid color. My question is what company has the best quality and if you have shale interior how was the color match? TIA

Ridies makes armrest pads, but I really do not know what the quality is. Hopefully someone will be able to give you a review.

It is good leather at @Ridies . The problem with the arm rest is how you or your installer fits it. There is not much area to hook it up, glue it or staple it.

I contacted Ridies and they do not carry the shale color. Bummer! Anyone else have any experience with other vendors that do carry the shale color for arm rest?
