Armrest Mod Complete...Great Results!

Just had my Armrest redone professionally by Orlando Auto Upholstery. I first followed the DIY leather armrest mod sticky. Removal of arm rest was a breeze using a sanding bit on a dremel tool. Then I used 3M 80 to adhere heavy duty vinyl to the armrests. Turned fair (as the Florida heat kicked in they bubbled up). I then removed my attempt at this mod and called up the pros. They explained the sectioning of the vinyl would contour the covering and no bubbling would occur in the heat. They suggested a french stitch that they would match with my tan interior. I must say it turned out great! 2 weeks in 95+ degree weather and no signs of bubbling.

 

Very awesome! Great job. It looks like it came straight from the factory like that.

 

wow, looks good!

 

Great job!

 

how much? if u dont mind

 

$60 ea. for the armrests, good price if I never have to revisit this mod again. They quoted me $75 to match up the center console lid. Might just have to get it done.

 

Here's the rest!

 

congrats bro...looking really good...

 

It's sharp- I'm not sure I would pick that same material...but it looks really nice.

 

Nice! I have been thinking about having this done as well, more padding and wear resistant than the factory crap.

 

Looks great.

 

Hey, where did you get your wheel/combo?? Looks awesome! Can I ask how much that ran you and what the model number is on the tires and wheels? Any change in MPG?

 

very nice!

 

Damn you! now I want one...lol look great
