Default New shift boot, e-boot and arm cover installed, pics

I have just about completed a new mod. I have a few kinks to work out but it is about 90 complete. I have a few wrinkles in the arm rest cover that I need to work out, but thought I would post some pics anyway. If anyone has any suggestions on getting the wrinkes out, please feel free to chime in. I know the carpets are dirty. I been working on the car all weekend and I have not been able to run the vaccum. So don't beat me up too bad on the grass on the carpets. The wrinkles are driving me nuts though.

I had some wrinkles in an identical armrest cover. I tried several times to pull it tighter but no luck.

I finally put some foam padding cut to size on the inside then pulled it tight. It has been without wrinkles for over a year now!

You may have to experiment with the padding to get the correct tension.

And I really like your choice of black with the red stitching, subtle but very nice!

Looks good. I am in the process of gathering my pieces for the interior as well.

One question: What is the red strip on the door. I was thinking about doing something like that were the seam is under the door handle. I like yours.
