LEG MOTORSPORT Sport Elbow Side Cushion (Red Stitch) for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Real leather console-side elbow rest with red stitching, adding genuine comfort to the RX8 cabin for every Series 1 and Series 2 owner.

Mazda RX8 elbow side cushion sealed in clear packaging with red stitching

$150

The Mazda RX8 elbow side cushion from LEG MOTORSPORT fills a real gap for most owners. Only the GT-Spec received a factory side elbow rest, leaving the majority of RX8s without one. The low-slung SE3P cabin places the driver’s elbow directly against the console edge on every drive. Pressure builds quickly on longer runs.

This padded real leather cushion puts support exactly where it is needed. The red stitch finish integrates with a broader interior theme rather than arriving as an isolated afterthought.

Mazda RX8 Elbow Side Cushion Key Features

  • Real leather construction delivers a premium, tactile quality that reads as factory-intentional rather than an add-on, consistent with LEG MOTORSPORT’s interior-focused range.
  • The cushion targets the elbow contact point beside the centre console. That is the exact location that causes fatigue on extended drives in the SE3P cabin layout.
  • Red stitching matches the accent colour used across other LEG MOTORSPORT and Japanese-market interior pieces. This red stitch detail becomes part of a cohesive theme rather than a standalone choice.
  • Installation leaves all centre console controls fully accessible and unaltered. No trimming, drilling or modification is required.
  • Finally, fitment covers every RX8 built from 2003 through 2012. This RX8 console elbow cushion suits Series 1 and Series 2 owners equally, filling a comfort gap the base and touring specs left from the factory.

For RX8 enthusiasts, the benefit is felt the moment a longer drive begins. This Mazda RX8 elbow side cushion lets the arm rest naturally against padded leather instead of a hard console edge. Fatigue at that contact point simply stops accumulating.

The red stitch keeps the cabin looking considered, a detail that rewards a close look within a wider interior refresh.

To carry the red stitch theme across the cabin, the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch) brings the same accent to every gear change. The LEG MOTORSPORT Anodized and UV Resistant Rear Window Button x2 (Red) extends that colour to the rear quarter controls for a fully resolved look. The GENUINE MAZDA OEM Floor Mat Set rounds out the cabin refresh with factory-correct coverage underfoot. See the LEG MOTORSPORT official website for full manufacturer information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this elbow cushion fit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models?

Yes, the LEG MOTORSPORT Sport Elbow Side Cushion fits all Mazda RX8 models built between 2003 and 2012, covering both Series 1 (2003-2008) and Series 2 (2009-2012).

Where exactly does the elbow cushion sit in the RX8 cabin?

It sits at the console-side of the driver position, padding the elbow's natural resting point beside the centre console. The RX8's low-slung cabin layout means this area sees regular contact on longer drives, and the cushion reduces the pressure there.

Will fitting this cushion interfere with access to any controls?

No. The LEG MOTORSPORT elbow cushion is designed so that access to the RX8's primary controls remains completely unchanged after installation.

Is the stitching colour a close match to other red-accent interior parts?

The red stitching is designed to integrate with other red-accent interior pieces rather than sit as an isolated addition. It pairs well with items like the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob in red stitch and the LEG MOTORSPORT Anodised Rear Window Buttons in red for a cohesive cabin theme.

How difficult is the installation process?

No specific installation details are provided by the manufacturer, but the cushion is a console-side addition that does not require altering the cabin's control layout, which suggests a straightforward fitment process.

Is this cushion a genuine LEG MOTORSPORT product?

Yes, this is a genuine LEG MOTORSPORT product. LEG MOTORSPORT is a dedicated RX8 specialist brand, and the finish quality on this cushion is described as visibly consistent with their wider interior accessories range.

What practical benefit does an elbow cushion offer on a sports car like the RX8?

The RX8's low-slung driving position naturally brings the elbow into regular contact with the console-side area, which can become fatiguing on extended drives. The padded cushion reduces localised pressure at that contact point, making longer runs noticeably more comfortable without changing the driving experience itself.
