Alcantara armrest DIY wrap (for extra sensitive elbows) 😎

[hemiarch]

So I had this beat up TPE armrest cover which fit beautifully, but was more than a little past its prime. Definitely did its job. Was about to trash it but my inner hoarder took over.

Ordered some cheap self adhesive Alcantara from Amazon.

Was very easy to do and I’m pretty happy with the result. Very comfy.

Mine is not a beast but this is a close match for the beast dashboard.

What do you guys think?

Def need max cushion there. I elbow the shhh out of that area.

Probably should have thought of this before but what’s the best way to clean Alcantara?

Here is the AI response. Everyone agree with that?

I'm just glad you wear the same safety shoes I do whenever I'm working on the truck ?

 

[hemiarch]

Even worse, not my feet in the pictures. Everything I do has to be done with an audience of a 7 year old, 4 year old and 1 year old. By extension also usually my wife.
“safety shoes”, ha!

Ha, love that. I remember in the early days recording a video on how to wrap the wooden dash trim in 3/Y. Didn't have a workshop, so it was outside, in the middle of a Texas summer. Sweating buckets, with the outlaws just watching on, making various quiet comments about my production skills. Fun times.

NICE!!!

I have been considering taking center cover to a custom upholstery shop to have extra padding, was even considering 1970’s “Roll and Pleat”.

Very nice. I have Alcantara interior kit including the armrest for my new Tesla Model 3 Performace and it's premo ?

I seriously had to do a double-triple-take

this truck interior is almost unrecognizable with all the ‘stuff’ inside…

So many distractions

It is unrecognizable as a cybertruck, because as he said this is his model three. ?
