Armrest recovering idea

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

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 ?

Vehi-Cross-Az, I was interested in recovering the steering wheel only because the factory red sections of the steering wheel are worn. Since you have the same color interior/steering wheel, they can at least physically see it and let you know if they get close on the color so it does not stand out like a sore thumb versus the rest of the interior (seats and door panels). There was a VX thread for a company (I think it was Wheelskins)that you can get the material to recover your steering wheel and I ordered the samples. They came in and the red was way too "red" compared to our interiors. There were no other choices to even "get close." Ours is more orange/red if you know what I mean. I am glad you have the same interior so maybe they can get the swatch to get very close to match the rest of the interior. Let me know and thanks once again!

BTW-The Subaru interior looks bitchin but they did the seat inserts and steering wheel at the same time in the same color.

The shop here in Houston had a huge sample binder thing I flipped through until I found a grey that matched mine. I am sure a local upholstery store could help you out.

Hey Bart

did you get your armrest back yet that I sent you ?
Tyler, Ill keep my eyes out for yours coming in.

As for the steering wheel situation, Im pretty sure I can
redo any of ours with a great match to the OE colors.

I have a nice stock used black and red Vx steering
wheel on the shelf too.

No sir. Still waiting. If you sent it a week ago I can't understand where it could be. Usually US Mail from only 1 state over takes about 2-3 days...

I hope it didn't get lost. You sent it to the right address, correct?
