armrest fabric collects too much dirt

[teders]

Anyone notice that the armrest fabric collects a lot of dirt? I'll vacuum it and spot clean it, and in about a week there are blemishes and dirty marks again. Im wondering if anyone has had this problem and found any solutions. I was thinking about replacing the cloth with leather and i found a few kits on ebay, but what i would really like are some carbon fiber covers that match the other CF accents in the cabin.

Yes and it drives me crazy... I want to buy those parts in leather but it's so expensive (I want to do both front doors and centre console).

I never understood Honda's choice of using fabric on the door and console armrests. Those are wear areas. My last car (Forte SX) had cloth seats but leather where you touch like armrests, steering wheel, shift knob, etc... That just makes much more sense.

I bought an EX-L (instead of an EX-T) to avoid the crap fabric on the armrests. Of course the leather seats, steering wheel and shift knob are a nice plus.

Thanks, this will be my next purchase once I clear my credit card!

Yeah this was not well thought out.

In my case the fabric on the drivers door seems to be the big skin scraper. The console looks pretty good.

How was the install? Looks like you just stretch it over the existing pieces for both the door and console

Hey does it come with a red stiching? I have an si so I want it to match

They come with double sided tape, you just use the tape over the cloth then tape/stretch over the existing pieces, no sweat for install.

Yes, it does come with red stitching.

One of the first things I changed when I got this car. Got mine through ebay since it was cheap and both the leather and stitching were black.

This looks pretty great. Was it hard to get it straight? I wish I could find blue stitching. No luck with that... finding the blue hatchback was hard enough.

When Redlinegoods finishes making the side pieces for the center console you can order one with blue stiching. I am gonna get mine with silver stitching to match the seats.

That's the only thing missing on a Civic X is a small vacuum like they had that kit on the minivans and Pilots?
