Leather Armrest cover
I am looking at buying a nice arm rest cover. It has to be leather, and have black stiching. I also dont want a logo on it.
Any suggestions?

I have had this cover from Moss Mustang for the past year. It is made in Italy and is very comfortable and easy to install. Click on accessories for picture

I have the Redline arm rest cover. Because I have the red interior I went with black with red stiching. It slips right over the existing armrest. I added foam underneath to make it nice and soft. When you combine it with the matching shiftboot it really adds something to the interior.

I doesn't, really. The redline leather is much softer, smoother, higher quality, more natural looking, mine even has what looks like a barbed wire scar in it, ha! The color may be relative, but the closest thing they have to parchment is a little closer to tan (a shade darker).
The stock leather feels like viny, rough, tough, and plastic, while the redline feels butter smooth and soft.
But it is so much better, especially with a little 1/4" foam under it to give it a little extra padding, so worth it and installs in about 2 seconds.

that one from partscheap.com looks nice and I assume because itis from Ford, should match nicely. I do wonder why they would not just have those on the cars in the first place. Maybe it was something new for '08??

It was an option on the 07+ models. However I did not have the option selected it appears. It was one of those small things I was too excited to think about when I placed my order in.

How 'bout some pics? I'd like to see how it looks w/ your install.
Thanks.

I was actually looking into the FORD oem leather 1, which comes on all gt500s and gts with the "gt apperance package". I called kc yesterday in fact to get a price on it and it was 98 plus shipping. Pretty pricey IMO. Cant really justify spending over 100 dollars on something like that. Just my 2 cents.
