Leather mods

Besides the sticky on the leather boots, can anyone suggest leather FC mods? This would be for the dash, and door panels. Maybe door pullers. I already have a better shift **** with a MOMO steering wheel in my future. But maybe someone has tried other modifications.

Go to your local rice or showy interior shop. They can answer all your questions Be prepared to spend $$$.

the series 4 tall arm rests seem a perfect choice for leather covering

Go and talk to an auto upholsterer. You can do pretty much anything you want in leather depending on how big your wallet is. You could get a few small bits done without breaking the bank, but an interior fully retrimmed in leather is going to be horribly expensive, and IMO not look any better. Tasteful restraint is a good idea...

screw interior mods. What you really need is a killer system. Pioneer head unit and a pioneer sub will do.

Can you elaborate further with the Tall Arm Rest, Mark?

Actually, I'm not having anyone do it. I mean, outside of Researcher, who doesn't charge much. (But I'm having a really hard time reaching him...) I've bought most of the leather as simply hide, for me to cut and sew. It's really not very expensive at all, and it's all pretty high quality. So all I'm doing is time.

As for the killer system... I have a Pioneer liquid ani CD head, 12 disc changer, EQ, dual 15 inch subs, 12 speakers, and so forth :P

The tall center consol arm rest was a $50 factory and dealer option that raised the top of the center consol armrest to the same height as the door armrests.

Instead of the lame 1 inch center consol arm rest, it was a nice 3 inch arm rest.

I always though that those (and the ebrake cover0 should have been covered in leather like the shifter and steering wheels.

I see. Have you seen Researcher's new leather item? It's a cover for the lowered arm rest. I think some of the raised armrests came in leather.
