So I started this project today. Only finished one side and im going to finish the other side tomorrow.
So here a picture of the door panel out, the arm rest piece apart. That as far as you can get off from the arm rest. On this picture I also had pulled off the stock gray insert.

So once I got the stock insert I did a template by tracing the original on the suede.

So after I got it traced, i started cutting it. The tricky part is in the middle of the insert by the arm rest.
After reinserting the stock insert, i started pushing in the red suede insert with a credit card. It worked pretty well and here are the final results:




Comments welcomed.
I have the template for anymore that wants to buy it from me. Then all you have to do is take off your panel and arm rest and trim around the arm rest and you'll have whatever color inserts you want. I'll sell the template for 10 bucks! :twisted: and i have some more red suede. I can make multiple templates.

 

looks good

 

did you glue it?

 

Thanks
I used very little 3M #80 Spray Adhesive

 

neat. is there anyway to put in an armrest with EP3 seats?

i guess you could put in a 03-05 civic armrest or an rsx one...

 

Thanks. Yeah I think you can put a armrest. I was going to put the 04 center console but it just so many pieces you have to get. Idk about an rsx

 

looks real good man

 

Looks good man. I just had my door inserts and armrest wrapped in genuine suede on Friday. Suede crew FTW

 

Cool, post some pictures man. What color did you do?

 

You'll have to wait til Spring. I have more stuff to do before I'm ready to bring out the camera.

Anyway, I went with "Black Panther." It's basically black lol

Unlike your outgoing and creative self, I had these guys do it for me.

EDIT: Sorry to hijack your thread.

 

I wanted to take it to a shop but i don't have any experience with any good one around here.

 

Don't worry, you saved yourself a ton of money.

 

Hahaha yeah that too! Now i want a shop to rewrap the backseats with like some black suede.
