Series.Blue interior
 

Hey, first post here! I have the 2015 series blue with the blue interior accents opposed to the standard red. Any other series blue owners having a hard time matching aftermarket interior parts to your interior? For an example the only arm rests I can find have red stitching which is incredibly frustrating. Any advice on where to find color correct aftermarket interior mods?

jpm coachworks may have something. iirc you can tell them what color stitching you want and you can also send parts in for them to do, if I'm not mistaking of course

They probably don't exist yet.

I just deal with not having an arm rest... not that bad I just rest my hand on the ebrake.

The blue interior was so much more appealing to me, so it was something I was willing to deal with not having aftermarket products for

Real racer kept both hands on the steering wheel

^What he said. :thumbup:

Check out some marine boat sites, I'm sure they're stocked full of blue marine boat accessories.

The armrest isn't that big of a deal, but I've been a fan of the red and black color scheme after seeing others 86's

I have a red armrest in my car lol, probably just gonna color the red stitching black in the future.

I think we will get something soon don't worry. Other then that I'm digging my blue interior

I picked up a tiger blue anarchy motive shift knob before I even had the car or knew about the Series.Blue release. I was worried initially because it is lighter than the WRB I was hoping to match but it matches the blue stitching used in the interior pretty well.

I am now trying to find some vinyl or paint (rattle can or oil based enamel prefered) that is a close match for the blue leather if anyone knows of something.

This statement scares me. first ruined series.blue interior to a rattle can. let me guess spray paint all the door handles, vents, shifter surround, and dash? :lol:
rip

It'll make the rest of ours worth more in the future for being unmolested! Just wait. In 10 years finding an 86 in good shape is going to be like finding an S13 240SX today.

For five hours on the interstate with the car in cruise?

Fuck no.

I totally understand your apprehension so I won't get defensive. I too have seen some pretty tacky interiors. My plans don't quite follow what you stated above. I will be reserving the blue to the stereo surround (which I will mold into one piece before painting) and flowing into the gauge cluster surround. Not the hood but the part directly surrounding the gages. The lines flow nicely to form one color block. I will also do the door pulls in blue but that is it. I think a colored dash works even better in an interior that already has a strong secondary color like the seats and stitching on the Series.Blue than it would if that was the only color in the car.

The pillars surrounding the A/C controls, the vents, shifter surround, and the piece in the steering wheel I have already painted a flat black. After buffing and wiping down with detailer it turned a nice textured satin. I would say the finish turned out better than the black pieces from Japanparts that are really just unpainted molded plastic. The Ts parts would have been the nicest but they are more than I wanted to spend and are also a dark anthracite color instead of black.

I will also be going for gold wheels and i think the blue dash will have a similar effect of the overall look as the wheels and will compliment each other nicely. I think the end result is a look that is not as "high-end" not quite as sophisticated, and maybe even a little less impressive but is more ostentatious, more playful, more in your face, and more fun. I think I will enjoy that look and it will set my car apart from others.

Here is some pics as the car is now. @adamg and @Rota I'm curious to hear what you think.

I'm really digging how the gold plasti dip turned out on your wheels. Kudos! Also nice shift knob... it matches well!

JPM Coachworks can custom stitch any of their items in blue. In fact, they can do anything you specify as far as color and material choices. Just call them to work out the details.

being fully honest that will look horrible. too much blue, but your car

Gotta admit, I love the shift knob and the wheels. I'm genuinely interested as to how you got such a good gold color. I've seen some attempts that have ended up looking terrible.

To each their own, I don't think it would look terrible but that's not saying I would want that much blue in my interior.

Oh it's you again... Haven't even seen one in person have you?

Pictures make it look like crap, it looks far better in person.

Regardless, adding blue to the dash is going to be like adding the silver back. A very big FUCK NO to that as the silver glared the hell out of me on the test drive on the 2013. The nav screen is bad enough on some days...
