  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

The most popular interior upgrade for the Hyundai Palisade is now available for the Genesis GV80. These armrest add a luxurious look to your interior and raise the armrest about an inch as well. There's a VERY limited supply at the moment, but more are on the way...

Wow looks smooth. Is this the same napa leather material as the ones in the prestige trim?

Thanks for the new product update. “These armrest add a luxurious look to your interior.” Sal, please let us know when Genesis comes out with an interior upgrade to “add a luxurious feel to your posterior.” The armrest looks nice.

Glad you like the armrest covers! They do add a really nice touch to the interior... :)
 
Just got my armrest in dune. Fits like a glove. Follow the install video. It'll save you the frustration of trying to install them. Here's a picture of what it looks like. The quality is high end. Love how it feels when you rest your arm on it. Just top notch.

I just received my order from KDM warehouse for the, Luxury Quilted Design for Genesis Armrest (gv80) Installation seems pretty basic however after slipping the pad over the console lid the lid will not latch in a closed position as the elastic sock interferes with the closing mechanism. Any suggestions?
 
Received mine last week. No complaints at all. Good product. I like having some additional padding.
 
Hi Sal and forum members. Just picked up the GV80 3.5 Prestige today and installed the mono black armrest cover that Sal sent me that I purchased on his website. Very hard to line up the hole but once lined up correctly it adds a nice quality touch to the interior. A note of thanks to the forum members and Sal as I have learned a lot from you guys prior to the purchase. I have the Seville Silver with black interior.

below is a pic of my car.

The stitching (as well as the rest of the color on the armrest cover) is the same exact color no matter the batch. Aimban produces an armrest and doesn’t change anything about it as time goes on. Any difference in stitching color compared to the pictures on the website are due to lighting. Nothing changes from one batch to the next. And to note, when "new batches are received every week" is mentioned, it’s referring to “shipments” of the same first batch of armrests produced for Genesis vehicles made by Aimban. The several shipments received thus far are all from the same first production of Genesis armrests.
I just got mine today but having issue's on putting on is there a special trick?

Is it worth the money and how is the quality
 
I think they are worth the money. Quality is very high end. Follow the video on how to install. It's not a big deal at all to install. Once it's on, you'll think it was a standard option w/ the car. One of my favorite add-ons from them for the GV80.

Hope that helps you out

Thank you I will be ordering some.

I'm a bit confused on the final part where the video shows folding the flap with the plastic bit underneath the leather side. Am I supposed to remove the long plastic strip? I do notice it has a bit of elastic strip underneath.

The flap runs the length of the cover towards the bottom. It literally will slide between the outside openings on either side of the armrest. That way it makes it looks like it was factory installed. The strip just secures it from the bottom side. Had my from day one and it's not moved one bit. Play around with it and you'll see how easy it is.
