redlinegoods shift boot and ebrake boot

Maybe slightly bunched - still have to make final adjustments.

i'm giving mine another go now. im just pulling it as tight as i can and trimming it here and there to avoid too much bunching. i'll see if it clips in ok in the morning. hopefully it will cause it'll look awesome and match my redline boots

If you guys are wrapping parts in leather, they MUST be properly toleranced first. That means removing the same amount of material from the plastic part as you're adding to it with leather. Generally, 1/16" is enough for leather and will allow all parts to sit flush/factory. If you don't tolerance your parts, the material will bunch up and look really bad.

I honestly think Redline is putting out good stuff (with the exception of the tilted BRZ logos) but it really boils down to incompetent installation. I'm not knocking anyone but if you don't know upholstery, DON'T DO IT!! You make your car look like total shit and you make the company that supplied the material look like shit too. You don't install leather or alcantara with "3m tacky strips" around the edges...you MUST glue the entire part and the material for a proper installation. Unless you have the basic upholstery tools (spray gun, contact cement, upholstery scissors, spatulas, etc) DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!! Support a local shop and have it done right...you will thank me later.

Laika is being a little too critical of Redline. The leather they use is first rate and the stitching is almost identical to JPM (I have a couple of their products). You save money by having to install the leather yourself and also not having to buy the replacement part. If you take your time and do a careful installation you should be alright.

i managed to get mine on but i can't get the clips to go in on the stereo piece closest to the passenger side dash piece. no matter how hard i push it stays slightly raised up. Looks ok otherwise minus a little bunching up at the bottom left corner. Alcantara looks like it would've been a lot easier since it's so thin and i probably should've just went with that but o well

I agree, the leather is awesome and they even offer nappa leather as an upgrade. I love the ebrake and shift boots. the ebrake was also an art project but it was definitely a lot easier than the dash as it was already cut with notches in the edges to get it around corners and whatnot and there was no extra material hanging off. The shift boot was perfect and took all of 5 minutes to unclip the old one and clip the new one on.

Guys,

We are now working on how to make those parts easier for DIY installation and provide you with more detailed and thorough install write-up so that you can be sure of the result you will achieve :-)

I sincerely hope to have redesigned products ready for you really soon together with install instructions prepared hopefully with your asistance :-)

And if everything goes well, I'll have some interesting options available for you to choose from :-)

I'll update you with any progress we'll make.

I like that. Was it tested to clip in ok with the real leather without bunching up?

[RedlineGoods]

Not yet, we do not have a car :-(

I'll try to do test-fitting at a dealership on Tuesday (if they only let me do so). I'll let you know the reaults of course :-)

ok awesome. just curious though, where did that piece come from in the pictures? did you just order the panel and wrap it?

[RedlineGoods]

Exactly, I just ordered panel at the dealership and wrapped it. And do not need it anymore in case anybody asked ;-)

We'll have another great part soon - one of our customer is sending us door speaker bezels for prototyping

We still need knee pads, auto shift boot and upper door trims (door sills) for prototyping. And any other parts you guys may want to have covered in leather

Anybody interested? Free covers are waiting :-)

And one more important information - we'll have a bunch of brand new OEM dash trims and gauge hoods delivered on Monday. So in case there's anybody interested in ordering those parts reupholstered for easy PlugAndPlay installation let me know, and we'll organize some nice GroupBuy

Take care
