didnt get to work on it when i got home. before i install the piece i want to spray it with the UV protectent and i was going to get it on my way home from work BUT…i forgot my wallet=( so ll pick up the stuff tomorrow. heres the piece i made. “leather” on the outsides and ultrasuede in the middle. he stitching is silver/light gray. they had actual silver thread but it was like chrome, too shiney for me and way too thin. so i went with this and love it against the fabric. i did single stitching on the sides. i was going to do double but after i did it on my test part…didnt like it so much. the orignal armrest has 0…ZERO padding and just kills your arm. i plan on laying padding down for some comfort. plus it will stick up maybe 1/2" giving a better look IMO…enjoy! once everything is done ill have a write up or something ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0083.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0083.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0084.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0084.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0085-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0085-1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0087.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0087.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0088.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0088.jpg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-wants-to-know-about-suede-alcantara/44115)._
