OEM shift and ebrake boots are made of vinyl, not leather.

There isn't a single piece of leather in the vehicle- unless you have a BRZ limited. And even then it's only the small strips on the bolsters, the back of the seat is also synthetic leather.

The JDM pieces are made of the same rubbery material as the upper and lower armrests.

Please find the photographs of both the door panel armrest and door panel upper are below. Each piece is crafted in our workshop from the finest quality materials available. Both are available in either genuine Alcantara or Italian leather and are completed with a single top-stitch in Vibrant Red. Installation is a snap as both pieces are built from the factory originals and will install into the correct locations using existing factory hardware (screws and or clips) where applicable.

I intend to have a BRZ in the workshop just as soon as possible so that I may shoot additional photographs and build the basic marketing images for our new product announcements. If you are interested in purchasing a pair (or the set!) of these in the interim, please do not hesitate to let us know

Also, thank you once again from everyone here at JPM Coachworks to the 86 community for their continued interest and support of our products and services. You all are great

Damn you guys never fail to impress.

Do these pieces simply unbolt from the door card? I know with my STi I had to drill out the plastic welds. Hoping its just a simple swap over.

Both pieces use screws or clips to bolt right in.

@xxscaxx The Armrests simply pop out and are held in place by tabs.

The Uppers are held in place by a conjunction of tabs and some screws on the bottom, but still easily pop out. You would not have to drill out the plastic like on the STi.

Cheers
