NJ Arm rest cover RHD/LHD?

Does the arm rest cover that replaces the ash tray work for LHD? I see them for salel but they all appear to be for RHD.

Not exactly universal, but it fits fine in the LHD console. They weren’t offered on S6 NADM (LHD) cars, just on RHD. So it opens to YOUR passenger side. Not a big deal. Looks better and more comfortable than the ashtray.
FWIW I drilled two or three 1/8” holes in the same spot as the light window is located on the ashtray to utilize the stock lamp light.

Thanks @Sgtblue that's what I was thinking.

Any suggestions from anyone on where to buy? I see lots for sale on ebay but they are all coming from Japan. Sakebomb shows out of stock.

It fits in an LHD console, but don't expect flush or perfect. A couple of the corners wont sit flush.

They have got down to below $100 on Buyee.

Makes it seem that there was new supply.

Price was typically around $150.

The ones on ebay range from 150 - 200 with varying shipping costs. All coming from sellers in Japan.

Does this make more sense than using rx7.com? Their price is $180 + $20 shipping.

Looks like the sub-$100 on buyee are sold out. Here is the cheapest I found just now. Buyee will charge you about Y1000 for threir fee. There will be a small domestic shipping charge. When buyee notifies you they have it, choose seamail for the cheapest shipping, but "byuee shipping" by air may not be much more..
