New armrest covers from Redline Goods

Just installed my new armrest covers to match my shift and ebrake boots that I had installed several years ago. They turned out exactly as I hoped and matched exactly the ones I had ordered from Redline Goods previously.


The quality of the leather and stitching is outstanding and the fit was spot on. Here are a few pictures of the finished product.

Very nice...where did you get those and how do they install? Do they just slip on?

I ordered them from Redline Goods http://www.redlinegoods.com/ , which is the same place I ordered my shift boot and ebrake boot.


To install the armrest is pretty straightforward. You simply remove the old material, which is held on by lots, and I do mean lots of staples. Then it is simply a matter of taking the new leather cover and stapling it into place.


Note that you will need a pretty powerful stapler to get the staples in sink into the plastic backing structure of the armrest. I ended up using a pneumatic stapler running 90 psi.
