I keep reading about people drilling them out and everyone saying they are worried. If your worried do what I did....just use a new and sharp exacto knife/box cutter, and jab it in around the tabs you would need to drill. It's alot more precise and easy to handle. No need to worry about over drilling.

Did you want it to match your cherry air freshner also

jeremy0203 · 08-28-2007, 10:52 AM

i also got my material from augerresources same exact as qshooter, the guy there is cool, my shift boot is also from them but black with red stitching. he even agreed to do a free shift boot for my wifes TC if i send it to him so he can start a TC line. he even gave me the name of the company he gets his material from and the exact info on the material so that i can get the same red to have my seats done with

Def going to do this mod as well, as i have the same shift boot. thanks for the diy!

***SiNISTER SiNDY*** · 09-12-2007, 04:08 PM

I'm ordering mine from Auger Resources now!

Avenger · 09-23-2007, 12:46 AM

I ripped my doors apart today........I think there were more than 17 screws though (2 were hidden under the large foam piece). I might make my own shift boot with a bit of the leftover suede. My suede came to $13.49 for a yard..........and I have more than enough left to do another car.

Avenger · 09-23-2007, 02:13 PM

Well finished mine this morning........looks nice

zenith931 · 09-23-2007, 02:33 PM

^^^ Not too bad. Is that grey or white? I can't tell. I think if it's grey it should look pretty good in there -- it's at least the same color scheme as the rest of the interior.

It's a light grey (sorta silverish)...the sun is shining on it in that pic....makes it look brighter.

prime time si · 09-23-2007, 02:57 PM

here is mine

06civicjm · 09-24-2007, 02:27 PM

does any one know where i can find that other thread where the guy replaced the fabric on the armrest on the door, i have some burns on my pass. side and was wanting to replace the fabic, or does the deal sell this?

Civic4u · 09-24-2007, 03:06 PM

That just pretty....which one of you coming over to my place to do mine car.

brazilianguy · 10-10-2007, 06:58 PM

i might do mine black, just to make it something soft and smooth, because i hate how that plastic feels, sometimes i rub my arm against it and it burns!!!

Ryan T · 10-11-2007, 06:17 PM

^ I'm doing mine black as a nice contrast to the ivory interior. ^

Here's a quick photochop to show what it's going to look like:

By the way, how much fabric is everybody using for this? Because I found this link:
http://www.hancockfabrics.com/jump-1...UCT/6599.shtml
That's the manufacturer of Buttersuede, and it only costs $6 a yard! And only $4 to ship!

The bolt is 60" wide, I would think that you would only need 1.25 yards, since it is wider than the panels are long and each panel is less than a foot tall . . . I saw somewhere that the person had spent $30 shipped for his fabric. I was just wondering if I was missing something.

zenith931 · 10-11-2007, 07:00 PM

^^^ I'd be careful with doing a color that you don't have anywhere in your interior. I have a TW coupe (like you, it looks like) and I did mine in white. After about a month I ripped 'em off because the white just broke up the interior too much.

Ryan T · 10-11-2007, 09:04 PM

I hear you . . . I thought about it being too stark. But then again, almost all the people in this thread did one that wasn't in their interior, red on a red car, blue on a blue car, etc. They did something to tie the exterior of the car to the interior. But doing white on my TW coupe would only invite my car doors to look naaasty dirty. I can't see myself keeping them clean.

Black, however, is already in the interior. Black makes up a lot of the plastic accents in the interior. Up the center console, the steering column and wheel. I demoed it in different browns, and it just didn't POP enough.

Anyway, it's only ten bucks to get the fabric here to look at it.
