RivNut Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Someone posted a thread a couple of months ago and said that he'd used some black shelf paper he found at Home Depot or Lowes and another guy bought some stuff off eBay.Here's the link.http://forums.aaca.org/f177/vinyle-applique-63-console-373919.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riviadrian Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I tried shelf paper and wasn't too thrilled with it. I ended up going to Tandy Leather Co. and bought 2 pig skin leather pieces for $10 each. It was durable yet thin, so it was easy to cut and I couldn't be more thrilled with the look. I'm not showing my car as original, and I think the leather looks great with my leather interior. I will post pics asap.-Adrian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelempert Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I bought a few yards of the sheet vinyl product Clarks sells. They recommend it for upholstery and the package tray. Like virtually all the things Clarks sells, it looks stock and is easy to work with. Conversely, I would not recommend the pre-cut console vinyl kit they sell. The kit employs the wrong material (too thick, wrong pattern and not really vinyl…more like plastic sheeting) and was not well made. PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance -Yes, Clarks sells a replacement kit that includes all 5 pieces. It is expensive $260 (I think) & have not tried it so don't know the quality.

petelempert Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Don't do it. Clarks console vinyl kit is not right. I've head great experience with them on everything EXCEPT this kit. PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riviadrian Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks Ed, So far that's about the only inexpensive part I've found for this thing. Chipping away at her one piece at a time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
