Re: where did you get your replacement arm rests?
I have a pair of original black armrests on my truck. The finish looks like it has a "shine" or "reflection" to it, but I think that's mostly from the wear that they have seen over the years. It's not something that a coat of your preferred interior cleaner can take care of is it? Personally I'd love mine to be matte finished! May just buy a set. Best of luck with some more answers.

Re: where did you get your replacement arm rests?
I kept an eye open in the Parts For Sale forum.
You will eventually find really nice sets at a reasonable price. Good Luck

Re: where did you get your replacement arm rests?
Dashes Direct makes pretty decent parts...I doubt you will find anything better, except maybe NOS

Re: where did you get your replacement arm rests?
Thanks for the replies.
I am not sure if the shine on the stockers are from wear, as the shine seems consistent all over. Ill post some pics later when i can against the originals. Will try some interior dressing to see what itll do to them Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: where did you get your replacement arm rests?
I have bought 72 armrests from 3-4 vendors and none are great but are consistent with regards to finish. I'm going to try one more place, Classic Industries, they carry OER brand. All the OER stuff I have gotten is top notch. I have a set of black NOS arm rests somewhere in my stash, I'll see if I can find them and compare finishes.
