vinyl wrap knee pads and upper arm rest

Wanted the red leather knee pads but didn't want to spend the $. Took a shot at trying to vinyl wrap the knee pads. I also went ahead and did the upper arm rest on the doors. I am pleased with the results. The vinyl is vvivid leather texture red and black.

VViViD+ Fine Grain Black and Red Leather Vinyl . Its not my favorite brand but I wanted to go with a leather look. Its on the thin side so avoid over stretching the material.

Gotcha, looks really good!

I have been thinking about getting blue leather or Vinyl with a leather texture for like the knee rest arm rest and shifter area. I miss the blue interior that my 06 GTO had, I wish it was an option for the Camaro...

Looks good. Did you have to take the door panel off to wrap the upper arm rest. I'd like to do mine but I'd rather not deal with that.

I did not have to take the door panel off. I did everything in place.
Started with the red vinyl, worked my way from the front to back. Applied 3m knifeless finish line on the curve and put the black vinyl over the whole arm rest. Pulled the finish line and there you go.

And I see on your interior that all your stiching is red along with leather seats, but your info are saying you have a 1SS. Have you had custom leather seats skins installed? What did you do to the stitches?

The seats are custom reupholstered. I used a red fabric pen on the stitching - someone on this forum has a post about it and you can search youtube as well.

Thanks for the info.

Once I get mine I'll see if I can somehow get a set of cloth seats and have some parts changed to red... I would get the same seats as yours but I don't like leather.

Your interior looks great. Definitely a source of inspiration for my car.
