Chevy accessories armrests - worth the $?

NotFast · 01-03-2021, 01:32 PM

Considering these but can't really tell from the pictures if they are "worth it"... They've got up to 25% off until tomorrow and can't decide if this is worth $168 for my LT1. Thanks.

I got a custom cover made by redline goods and you can have them customize it too for $50-80

Good luck with REDLINE. You might check with a local automotive custom upholsterer about having your oem cover recovered.

I ordered a factory one as pictured, was nicer in person than it shows in stock pictures. Happy with what I got and definitely an upgrade over stock plastic/vinyl.

I believe I have that one, except the letters are grey instead of red.

The alcantara is lighter than it is in the (i-Potato quality) photo. It is more of a grey colour.

I like mine. Goes well with the Recaro seats in my 1LE. Just make sure you don't get your bare skin on Alcantara too much, or it won't look very nice. Otherwise, you would have to clean it often.

Mine came with the Camaro armrest and the stitched lettering scratches my arm. I am trying to think of how to cover it. If you have an auto then it might not be an issue or if you got the lettering on the back of the armrest instead of where your arm is resting.

Well, I still have the old leather cover if you want it.

id buy it if it didnt have the "custom" stitching on it haha

UnknownJinX · 01-15-2021, 03:33 PM

It's just the old stock one that comes with the car. I didn't mod it or anything.

Nice, I’d take it, but notice you’re in Canada. I might just put a workout towel over it. Good to remind me to keep going to the gym and reduce the itch from the stitching. I would like a move reserved 1LE one, but mine has Camaro written along the long part where my arm rests.

Don't be pressured, you can get whichever one you want at ShopChevyParts.com for the same discounted price at any time... https://www.shopchevyparts.com/inter...-92304292.html or https://www.shopchevyparts.com/inter...-92304296.html

I bought mine from ShopChevyParts.com and put it in myself, I love the armrest with the logo on it...

For what it's worth, the ones that krops makes are DEFINITELY worth it

Beautiful workmanship, much thicker and softer padding than OEM.
