^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just find somebody locally. They should be able to do it for about the same price if not less.
just shop around. I made the mistake of purchasing these from an ebay vendor and sending them to the vendor with horrible results.
Save yourself the headache and just do a little research and find somebody locally.

can anybody tell me if my color is Taupe or stone? I'm 95% sure its Taupe, its more of the khaki color and not a silver/gray. my car is the carbon gray metallic and according the wikipedia it only comes in ebony or taupe but I just wanted to be 100% sure before I ordered the part. and yes I've looked at the door jambs and there are no color codes

The driver's door armrest is leather.
The center console armrests are pleather.
I have replaced both when the car was under warranty. The dealer replaced the door armrest and the entire upper console (the folding armrests cannot be purchased seperately).
But then my center console armrest bubbled again. It is not seperating from the foam padding as you would think, but instead the vinyl skin delaminates from the fabric substrate.
So I had a local upholsterer recover the console armrests in real leather (with stitching as is OEM). It has supassed both previous OEM replacements.
There are threads about this going back as far as 2007.

I just replaced the center console which a vendor on Ebay did for me and teh doors arm rest.
The center console was easy to remove, 10 min out and in.
The door armrest took me more than an hour, I have to remove the door Lining completely, I put it on a table, took apart the arm rest and put a new one.
When putting back watch the handle cables, put them as before.
