THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Got sick of the stupid factory graphite color... thought this would look better with my tan interior. It's got more of a "chocolate-ish" color than what it looks like on the screen. $6 sheet of vinyl I got enough to do like 3 or 4 of these.. lol The flaws are enhanced by the flash too... looks better in real life. (closest looking to the real color) Now I just gotta find one with a non-broken hinge.. lol Heres how it looked factory, if you were wondering.

ToroToro Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Curious as to how it looks in the car...any pics? Where'd you get the vinyl anyway? Some sort of fabric shop? I've got some door panels that need help. You do realize that you could have just grabbed a tan one from a 95-97 CS to save you some time though right?

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 There are no 95-97 CSs in the junkyard nearby... and I'm sure they would charge more than $6 for an armrest... I didn't want tan either... wanted dark brown. Plus this is BRAND NEW now. I INSISTED on this color, the lady didn't really want to cut it from that one big piece but I just kept looking around until she did Ya it was one of those girly fabric places. Can get them in as big a size as you want. Not sure when I'll have pics (I'm embarrassed by my seats... want to change them first. The ones in that first pic are the crappy stock seats which I swapped out for my torn up grey AQ9s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 the vinyl work looks good, not sure how it will look in the car itself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 It looks 'ok' in the car right now... but I have some paint ideas in mind that will look good. I hate the crappy dull Pontiac plastic. Looks so cheap just like a Sunfire. My goal is to make it look like factory, only nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Someone needs to design an updated hinge for those GPs!! I think that Slick was actually going to do that a while ago back when he had his GP, but the idea got scrapped when the car did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 That's some nice vinyl work, hardly any waves or wrinkles in the material. Makes me want to get back on recovering my armrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
