but yeah i decided to go cover my arm rests today i just the center but i will do the others tomorrow it was starting to get dark and i didn't wanna snap the clips cause i couldn't see them so tommorow i will upload the pictures...

i used the fabric glue and hot glue gun to do this...
here some pictures...

taking it the arm rest apart..





then i got a crazy idea lets add some foam?




then i realized it had a boxy shape which i didnt want... so i trimed it..



before fabric..


wrapping the fabric



putting it back together...



the finished product...

 

looks real nice, good job, whats next?

 

I need to know how to how some padding to the door handles/door arm rests. Very annoying on the elbow.

 

its pretty easy.. especially if your already recovering the armrests you just have to buy foam thats a good amount of thickness for you they have all different levels of thickness and then you just cut the same you need. and just cut the edges to round them out and then i used fabric glue to glue it to the armrest and then cover it with fabric.

 

well for that fabric its only going in two other parts of the car. the armrests on the door which im doing tommorow and then my headliner im redoing in black microsuede. and then theres the gray lip around my sunroof will be in the fabric as well but thats it. so it will be the arm rests and speaker box and lip around the sunroof. the rest will be black =]

 

might as well do it all in the same fabric sunroof and all.... it helps the complete flow if ya start mixing fabrics it can look odd.

 

yeah i thought about it just for the sunroof right?

 

question:

To get the sunroof cover out, do all I need to do is remove the pillars then the roof lining comes off, then I can remove sunroof cover?

The top part is all messed up, dried/cracked/rolled back in front and underneath is missing a piece of fabric. I bought some fabric to replace it, but never have attempted to do so.

btw I checked online and at honda dealer how much a replacement cover would be. I forget the exact amount but it was around $150-$250. I'm like, it's just a piece of plastic with fabric, wth!

 

looks like its done pretty good, good job

 

for the DX models...
