    Armrest recovering idea

    After 100k miles, my center armrest started showing
    its age, so had a local upolstery shop recover it for
    me, with an added touch..
    the middle section I did with a carbon fiber look
    material.
    Came out pretty sweet and will be more durable too
    over the years.

    my guy has a variety of colors of CF
    grey/black, black, silver etc....
    even has exotics like ostrich, etc..
    for $65 plus shipping I can do anyones for them
    if they want to send me theirs the same way if
    it helps them out, I dont mind.
    If and when I recover my front seats Im going to
    put this in some of the sections where I currently
    just have black.

    I am 100% down for this. I contacted a couple places here and they told me the job was too small. So, $65 plus return shipping? Sounds like a deal. PM me with your info please!

    It looks great but adding a cup holder would have been more practical -besides it is the only problem I have with the Vehicross besides the window problems.

    Yeah, a lack of good cup holders has always been an issue in the VX, so I added a cup holder in place of my left a/c vent. I don't use my a/c very much at all, so it was no big deal for me. It fits cans and bottled water perfectly.



    Sorry to get off topic!

    thanks guys..

    For anyone wanting it done, just email me

    at motorsport_svx@yahoo.com

    tell me what color you want etc.
    If you send it to me, send it to the shop
    with your ph # and return address.
    You can send a check with it for a total of $80
    includes return S&H.
    Or you can call us with your cc info or we also
    take paypal.

    I thought about a cupholder, but Id be afraid of
    knocking stuff over with my right elbow sitting
    it back that far.
    I put a cupholder on my console just behind the shifters.

    If you want to see what the silver CF looks like
    we did an interior on our Svx a few yrs ago with some
    Heres a pic.

    Dayle (Vehi-Cross-Az) has a great offer here and at a good price, but I decided to stay local and get the center of my armrest redone in Grey to match the two tone seats, what do you think?

    Question How about the Steering wheel (red/black)?

    Vehi-Cross-Az, Can they get close on the red/black steering wheel? My red is worn and I got the samples from the company that recovers steering wheels from a past VX thread and the "red" sample does not even come close. The VX interior is more of a red/orange hue.

    I have the same color interior..
    but not sure I understand your question.
    Are you asking about recovering your SW or
    your armrest still ?
