What i really want is the JDM armrest with yellow stitch.. Dunno if that will happen unless i learn to sew..

I'm not gonna lie, I ordered the Toyota 86 silver stitched armrest with the plan and intention of yellow sharpieing the silver stitches. But after I got my car the lack of a armrest didn't bother me and I use those cup holders often so I sold it.

I have the JDM armrest and it's awesome. You can still use the cupholders just fine. It has a catch in it when it's in the fully up position so it won't fall over. I've had hot beverages in it quite often and it's never gotten in the way. Then on long drives having it down to rest my arm on is a win.

The vent trim is definitely the most annoying part though, I always end up having at least one bubble trapped on the beveled outer edge.

YES! OMG I hate it. I did mine, it looked great, then a couple days later bubbles started appearing. Right now it's so bad I'm ready to take it off and paint it. The vinyl just won't stay adhered to that concave surface. The rest of my vinyl on the doors and center stack is holding up great though.

The more I think about it, I think I'm gonna try to wrap the door handles and cc trim, and try to find a matte or semi gloss rattle can that comes close to that yellow. I just don't know how the owner in the video went about doing the shifter trim gloss black with the yellow ring...?

Yea I'm planning to just buy the black vent trim to replace mine.

I have enough white going on around the HVAC and shifter trim, just gonna take the easy way out for those vent rings.

I did the shifter ring gloss with vinyl. It wasn't easy, lots of patience. The yellow ring is probably some additional piece that they added. Either a piece of piping or ... idk.

Noting that vinyl isn't a very easy application, has anyone tried Plastidip on interior trim pieces?

Just do what I did for my armrest but with yellow stitching.



I just bought an OEM replica armrest for $150 new, removed the fake leather on top, bought a redline goods armrest cover (you can order this in yellow stitching with leather or alcantara in any color. My alcantara armrest cover was $75 shipped and it comes with probably triple the padding of the crappy oem armrest. I paid $65 to have a local upholstery shop install it.

$290 out the door for an armrest but at the end of the day this is my favorite mod!

That's exactly what I used to cover all my silver trim. Except the vent ring, I has to paint those

Center stack
Door handles
Air vent surrounds (with JDM Auris vents)

I still want to do the steering wheel parts black, just haven't gotten around to it.

I actually wrapped the shifter ring, but on an automatic it looked weird, so I took it off.

Are those the stock air vents? They seem much nicer then what I have seen in other models.

looks so nice but is a pretty involved process...

subarwrxfan is a great guy and I like his reviews.

The interior looked factory. Really good artistic eye the owner has. I am inspired to do that when I get mine. I normally never mod anything. These touches are classy.

vinyl wrapped? Sounds good. Nice thing about that is one can tear it off and re apply if it gets damaged.

Subaruwrxfan is annoying and constantly begs for money to buy new cars.
