Thoughts on These Leather Armrest Covers ?

[Nine8Six]

There some members here who does pretty clean CF parts - sure they have the arm rest mold. That's minimum you should go with.

JD, I made and installed my own leather covers and it was a breeze. I used spray on contact adhesive and, in order to ensure that it was lined up properly, made an outline on the back side of the leather. You can use your fingers to to push out any bubbles. Really, the only hassle was in attempting to re-install the little springs. I finally gave up and just let the armrests flop up and down with use.

That was my next question. What's it like to re-install the arm rests ? I suspected those springs were going to be a problem.

Let me explain my BOBO comment;

Based on the picture

1. The leather is cheap & thick rubbish cow stuff, or recycled
2. The yellow stitching looks silly right there in the middle. Aligns with nothing but craziness.
3. Stitching again, how do you make this look sharp and clean. It's a No.5 shape
4. Think about what it will look under there when the arm rest is open. It will feel like seeing SATAN every time you open the lid to get your shades (glue residues, uneven, etc). You'll scare off the Danger Girls for sure with this mod mate.

Now, if you could find a black NAPPA (Italian) thin QUALITY leather, then I may say give it a try. But still I'd go for nothing else than CF if the plastic is really not your thing.

My Kangooroo Motorcycle Racing Suit looks better than this cheap stuff on the above picture :/ Come on guys

You may be the legal owner of the D-Mobile, but in fact, it belongs to all of us here.... dearest member of 986forum.com

I'd recommend you to start a POLL and do the mod(s) based on the official poll results only. Especially when you're bored and thinking about sticking this and that to it.

THANK YOU for your understanding, Danger (lol)
