So like it says, this morning I get into my cold car and use the armrest to adjust myself in the seat and crack, i put a half moon split in my CF armrest. It doesn't feel like it split the actual clear coat that much, but you can see it underneath the clear. Theres prob no way to fix that so I am out of luck, but what a crappy start to the day. Not to mention that my boss and her bosses boss is here today. YAY!!!!!!!!

That sucks, man.
Now I'm glad I changed my mind on that one. I use my armrest too much.
i second that. i use mine all the time, thats why i skipped out. it looked awesome but i knew i was gonna **** it up one way or another..
well sorry to hear about your loss man, that is a total bummer, those things really did look badass

That was going thru my head when the group buy was happening. I'd much rather get a leather armrest to replace my cloth one and add a lil extra cushioning under it

It still looks good though. lol My fault for being a fat a$$, well, that and wearing an over coat for work that I was trying to adjust to be able to move freely when driving. DAMN YOU COAT!

And that, guys, is why carbon fiber is not good for stress applied to it perpendicular to the weave plane.

Try a reupholstery shop. I went to a local one to get my tweed for the doors, armrest, shift boot, e-brake boot and headliner. I think I even did the rear deck.:confused:
