That's where I get the leather console covers, visor covers and gauge cluster covers. I embroider them then install them. I wonder why they are charging that much?

For leather and padding only I would only charge $70 if you send your lid to me

You going to be doing any work on-site at Raptoberfest?

Any recommendations??? Something that doesn't leave a nasty, slippery, Armor All-like finish?

I like Adam's Leather Conditioner. It's leaves a supple clean finish, smells nice, isn't greasy and has a UV protectant as well. I apply it to the dash and seats and then just buff it off with a clean microfiber towel. Here's a link to the product for your reference: Leather Cleaner and Conditioner | Clean Auto Interior

Yupp. I have a huge shipment of leather, hats etc. Bringing both machines. Already a sponsor of the event and trey has me a reserved area like at 2014 TRR

I'll be making a stop by your booth then. I need my lid wrapped with extra padding. My elbow is wearing an indention into the lid already and I only have 32k miles lol

Hey I'm very interested in having you make a padded leather armrest for me. Can you send me a PM with specific instructions for payment and shipping? Thanks!

The ones he does are really nice... Think I was the first padded arm rest and it is fantastic. I use chemical guys PH Balanced leather care and conditioner and it is fantastic on the seats as well.. Use it about every 6 months and my seats look relatively new...

Shouldn"t read these posts. You guys are getting me to spend my money. After reading the posts on page one I thought; "What a great idea" So I went to a local shop, in my town, and had this done.

I had my cover upholstered to match the seats in my Ruby Red SE. We looked over his stock of leather and found a matching charcoal perforated leather and he stitched up a cover using red thread to match the seats.

Looks and feels great. Had a couple of comments already.

Embroidery, I think I see a few more stitches in their product... ;-) Surprising that you can beat the price of something coming out of Brownsville. Keep up the good work!
