FS/Gauging interest: VC padded arm rest covers - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #51330 6 posts Started by Valo666
Im making these arm rest covers for the smaller USDM style arm rests. They are made from a nice felt like material with some padding underneith. It has no residual heat from the sun like the vynal ones we have now. It also makes the arm rest more comfortable. Im asking $15 each for them, and as of now i can make 3 or 4, i dont know how much material i have. This is a non stiched arm rest cover, so its nice and smooth and is installed much like the OEM style.

This was my original proto-type for my car witch is going to be redone in black. I have one in black already upholstered in the coupe. Ill take pictures of that tomorrow.

the first one had some stains left on it because of the type of spray adhesive i was using didnt bond well with the material and actually soaked through. Any ways, buyers would have to either stop by my house and get it installed, or send me their arm rest at their own cost.
bump....heres an update on what they look like in black. The pics make them look dark gray, but they are nice black.

Its not the same material..its actually a headliner material that is UV resistant. Its also got a little bit of padding. As for ashtray covering...i have no idea if i can work the material enough to be able to cover it/if the material is thin enough to clear the center console when its opened...ill try it sometime this week, and let you know. Im not at home right now, so i dont have any of my material or equipment...so gimme untill like wensday next week and ill let u know if i can do it/costs.
