Alcantara armrest DIY wrap (for extra sensitive elbows) 😎

[Ri22]

Glad you asked. That’s one of my favorite Amazon finds. It really doesn’t have much downside and a lot of upside.
the little tray pocket above my wireless tray holds a scalpel, small trim tool, pick, small Phillips, small flathead and nail clippers. All the shit I really like to have on hand but hate looking for.
the tacky cyber logo isn’t even remotely visible btw.

Not a vape in the back rubber holder thingy or a soldering iron btw. Good guesses though. It’s a rotary nail file. Basically a usb-c dremel. I’m a trauma surgeon who likes to get dirty outdoors with my truck so hand hygiene is something I spend some fsd time on.
The tray is all soft silicon like the cup holder insert which feels nice and is pretty gentle on anything you put in there.

Thanks for the link! I ordered one. I am surprised I've never seen these.

So I had this beat up TPE armrest cover which fit beautifully, but was more than a little past its prime. Definitely did its job. Was about to trash it but my inner hoarder took over.
Ordered some cheap self adhesive Alcantara from Amazon.
Was very easy to do and I’m pretty happy with the result. Very comfy.
Mine is not a beast but this is a close match for the beast dashboard.
What do you guys think?

That is a very sharp install! Professional!

Will post photos once I have the whole center console done in Alcantara

You should wrap the whole truck

Should be fine with a little scotchguard.

I have been considering taking center cover to a custom upholstery shop to have extra padding, was even considering 1970’s “Roll and Pleat”.

What is roll and pleat?

So I finished the extra sensitive elbow chaise with a back piece. I think it looks better with it there. Yay or nay on the back piece?

That’s exactly what I want! I need some material on the back piece to make it more comfortable for my cat to scramble over. I have the snap-on cover. All I need to know is what size Alcantera to buy. Please give more details if possible.

This is what I ordered.
I got the 16.25” by 59” to be safe but the narrower one should work too.
I just cut it to size, stuck it on and then trimmed the edges with a scalpel. xacto knife or scissors would work too.
