Default Who makes the door armrest pads?

I want to add the door rest pad to my 2011. I see they are standard equipment on 2012's.
What vender sales them and do they look stock and not like a kids ricer add on?

Me too. The quality is better than the OEM door armrest pads on a friend's ZR1. More padding.

They not only look good. More comfortable on long drives.

DSVettes will do them in any color/stitching combination you want. Visit their website for some examples.

I considered getting those, but after my experiences with two sided tape with my C4, I changed my mind.

If you still want them, you ought to reconsider. I bought the DSVettes version and it is held on with Velcro. They've been in my car for about a year now and they are very solid. Velcro seems to work really well for these. I really like them.

One year, 11k miles and solid as a rock.

Go to Calmtgguy's post, No. 6. He gave a link to vendor Top Flight who sells them for DSV.

For some reason, they are not listed on the DSV website, so I got them from a Forum vendor that sells them. I've had them for over a year and I'm verry happy with the quality.

We do make the Elbow Saver and we offer many choices. Just took this picture two weeks ago at Lone Star Classic Corvette Show at Texas Speedway. We can make it in all leather or half carbon half leather or half painted half leather with any stitching you want. There are lots of pictures on our web.

Easy install and a major difference in comfort, especially if you have a padded console cover.
