buzzardmountain, how'd you do it.....can you give me some pointers? It doesn't seem hard but i want to make sure i don't break anything in there.

By the way, your Z's interior is AWESOME!!! Very well done........

 

Buzzardmountain where did you get the leather for the center console, and do you have anymore pics of the interrior of you car?

 

Sorry, I should have prefaced it by saying I didn't do the actual install. I originally took my BO leather seat covers to an upholstering shop. They did a good job, so I ordered more product from leatherseats.com and let them do the headliner, armrests, knee pads, rear hatch, sun visors, etc.....

I do know that the armrests come pre-stitched "to form" if that makes sense. All they did was apply some glue, and stretched and stapled the leather to the OEM armrests.

I see leatherseats.com sells leather by the yard, how much do you think is needed to do both door arm rests and the center console arm rest? I have my red and black seats from leather seats so I can get red to match just not sure how much is needed.

 

Also the knee pads on the driver and passenger side how do they come off?

 

You would need to buy the armrests from them. Then just buy a yard of the matching vinyl. The vinyl is only like 7-10 bucks. The leather by the yard is like 80 bucks. You can't tell the difference. My seats, armrests, and shift boot are leather. The headliner, sun visors, knee pads, sub cover, hatch cover are vinyl. Vinyl is much easier to work with as well.


They are a "molded plug". You need to take off the panel that hold the knee pads. Then drill out the backside of the panel where the plastic has been melted. It's connected to the panel by like 5 plugs. Once you wrap the knee pads, you just melt the plastic back to the panel.

 

So they make the armrests already?

 

Yes, they come stitched, made to fit. Order those, then just order a yard of vinyl to do anything else you want.

Talk to Bill Coon, he was my sales rep. Great service, let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Do you remember what the armrests cost you?

 

Alright then, anyone know if there's a difference in the armrests in the '06 models cause mines an '06 and it has that extra side cushion. Anybody disassemble the door for an '06 successfuly??


NJDAN, if i remember correctly the armrest covers are $50-$60
