I used to help my mom sew her clothing line back when I was younger. This stuff is easy.

Just a little preview

Shift knob/boot by Honda (OEM/JDM).

Parking Brake cover customized by Bespoke Customs.... perforated handle w/ red baseball stitching, and boot part in straight red stitching to match Honda stitching.

OEM Armrest with added padding and JDM style matching stitching (by Bespoke Customs).

Looks great, Did you send in your arm rest to get restitch as well?

He sent his in but I made a pattern from it. This way, if anyone else wants one, All they have to do is slide it over the existing one (there is elastic underneath to keep everything nice and tight).

Thanks for the compliment.

I just sent the top of the OEM armrest, the part that slides forward.

The new armrest top is actually a separate black leather cover (removable) on top of the OEM leather armrest with additional padding.(new black leather matching the JDM black leather shift knob/boot as well as matching the red stitch).

Since I sent my armrest top to him, he is able to make others for the GE8 OEM armrest.


oh almost forgot to mention the padding on the Bespoke armrest cover is softer than the OEM, much more comfortable, and the way it was done it looks OEM, the new cover follows the curve(s) of the of the Honda armrest, as well as the stitch placement which is exactly what I was going for.

Some time next week I will post close up pics of the top of the parking brake, it matches the shift knob with the perforated leather, and baseball stitch.

the way I wanted it to look, thanks again for the patience and great work. +rep

I am glad you guys are pleased with your items!

As FitStir said, since he sent me his armrest to use, I have since made a pattern so if people are interested in getting one, they don't need to send me any parts from their car.

Thumbs up

It looks nice Choro-Q_Fit...

I've been meaning to post some more detailed pics, but it's been raining for weeks here... last time I took pics in the rain I scratched my car from the umbrella. I'm still waiting for some sunny days to fix that, and take some pics.

I have to agree, James (Bespoke Customs) was unbelievably patient with me, and how I wanted the items. Extremely patient. I appreciate that very much. Definitely an A+ person to deal with, I highly recommend him.

Got some more pics up...









The first 2 are with the color accent effect...

I had James do baseball stitching on the parking brake boot, and also cover the front up to the button.

Thanks again James (BespokeAuto)

Ya I followed the Mugen SS install to remove the console, but found out the previous owner smashed the shifter threads when they put an auto shift knob on it :facepalm:

So now Im on a quest to find a stock shifter. Thanks for the help
