I thinking of finishing up my winter interior upgrade project with a set of Corvette Door Panel Armrest Cushions, With C5 logo etched in it.
Thought it might look good with the rest of the mods. Anyone have these on there c5? If so how do you like them,and do they really stay adhered good with that 3m tape that comes with it.
Also cant decide between the torch red (to match the exterior and other interior accents) or oak to match the two tone black and lower panel factory oak. Any feedback or comments as always, greatly appreciated. (pics would be great too) Ken

i've had a set on my 04 for about 2 years without any problems at all. they hold really well (if i remember correctly, i did add an additional strip of double sided tape to each side, but i doubt it was necessary, but, i wasn't taking any chances, lol). they certainly haven't had a de-laminating effect at all.

I have a set of the Vette Essentials door armrests on my car. Love them. Sure makes a difference in the comfort level.

Had my VE armrests for a few years now - no problems. I do have to remember to put on my seat belt "before" I close the door to keep it from sometimes catching on the armrest, but not a big issue.
Mine are carbon fiber leather and suede to match the rest of the custom VE interior.
