I've had some come off my arm rest. Everything else still looks good.

Do all the interiors come with a white, or gray stitching? I plan to get beige, and want to make sure that if it has black stitching, there is still a way to do this

All vehicles come with white stitching, unless you get the IOM interior package.

Oh and the 45th anniversary edition comes with red, white, and blue stitching

I want to do this! So which gives you the darker color. The Elmers painter pen or the fabric dye?

Elmers is def a richer color, but it will fade a bit after a couple months. Perfectionists should be ready to reapply 2-3x a year.

I bought the FabricMate dye pens. If I want it darker I can just go over it an extra time right? I think I remember reading in this thread that a vinegar/water solution will set the dye. Is this correct? Thanks

Man I want to do this....just don't have the stones yet to try it.

Candie · 12-26-2011, 11:55 AM

I spent 3 hours doing mine on Fri. It was VERY simple. It really is idiot proof. I use the FabricMate pens. I took it out of my garage yesterday to look at it in full sunlight. I saw where thered was a little red residue on the leather. Got out some leather cleaner and it wiped right off. Do it! I promise you won't regret it.

Have had mine on a few months now( used Elmer's paint),I am seeing no fading at all.....Turned out to be a cheap and awesome mod.

Has anybody tried this with a sharpie?

I went to Office depot today and they have tons of Sharpie colors. I picked up a light blue that almost perfectly matches the ABL blue in out interior, below is a pic. Do you think sharpies will work?

anglwngss · 01-14-2012, 03:15 PM

i don't see why not, but if you're hesitant, try a less obvious spot like the two or three stitches under the middle compartment or under the head rests.

i did mine with sharpie. orange one. had it for about 4 months.and looks great. plus on top of that i have cloth seat

leather should be easier and cleaner.
