This is one item I've been waiting for. The OEM leather covered downtubes are nice but I don't want to bother with removing the existing downtubes. I've been looking at the stick-on pad for the driver's leg but I don't want anything that sticks out that far and I'd prefer the look of the entire tube covered. I have the OEM ('06) cupholder and as mentioned previously, poking a few holes through the leather sounds like an easy mount job.

 

I'm confused a bit here - you will have to remove the existing downtubes to install our leather covers on them... Or am I missing something here?

 

For anyone with concerns about the factory cup holder, I strongly reccommend a cup holder from minifini (several NAM vendors sell them). It is a much better design that can be placed much more out of the way. And you won't have a big silver piece covering your leather. Here is mine:

The factory JCW downtubes has the leather pre-applied (glued) to a new set of downtubes. Therefore, the existing downtubes must be removed. That is what he was talking aout.

 

I don't have any show of stuff inside. Just the JCW floormats. What desing would look great?

 

Well, that depends on your interior colors, etc. Maybe piping would work for you? We don't have anybody willing to test out piping yet.

 

I'm interested too, if you need help.
Blue Lapis interior

 

I have the standard interior with leather.

 

I think black with colored piping would be a better look, actually - some of the other Redline stuff is a bit... "colorful"... for my interior. I'd test them if you need someone. Black w/ orange piping was actually what I was imagining would be a good look.

Here's my interior:

 

I'd be in for quad stitching, But then I would also need to purchase matching shift and brake boots.

 

RedlineGoods,

I am interested in these down tube covers.... Engineer's don't make the best artists (me at least) so I'd need some design help. I have a Liquid Yellow / white roof and mirror caps. Dash / trim is yellow and seats / floor are black. Black and Yellow design would be sweet, even white thrown in, colored stiching... I'm all about it, maybe even the Dinan Logo sewn in? Let me know if you guys are up for the task, I'm sure we can throw together a design.

How do these install? Stick-on?

Also - I'd probably buy the shifter and e-brake boot from you guys if this looks sweet.

 

Well, he mentioned that the first generation had velcro but that the new generation has ELASTIC, which makes me think that you pull the top end of the down tube out of the dash and then slip the covers over the tube. Sort of, you know, like a Jimmy Hat for your "down tubes".

Mmmm... Is it hot in here, or is it just me? MrrrAWR!

PS - black with gray piping would also be nice.

 

Thread renamed to help reduce confusion.

 

if u guys want i can design them for you and submit them on here to see what yall think

redline im ready to order them

 

Post a pic of this, I was thinking exactly the same design might look good in my car

 

Sorry , my bad. I was under the impression that these leather covers could be installed without removing the downtubes.

 

04sdmini i make the pics i dont actually have them from a camera

 

How many colors can be put on?

 

What colors of it though?

 

You nailed it - that's exactly how they need to be installed!

 

Hi everyone,

I have PMed all those who were the first to post/PM/email us and had color choices that meet our criteria for the betatesting.

For all others that have replied in this thread, I'd like to offer you the following deal.

The downtubes will be $100 retail. Those who posted here, I'd like to offer you a 15% discount from that price for early buy-in. To take advantage of that offer, please PayPal $85 to PayPal@redlinegoods.com and describe the order (item and colors).

The items will be delivered once the betatesters confirm the fitment is correct and poses no install problems.

Thank you everyone for your interest in our project.

Maciek

 

Oh well.

 

Well, two.

Either two-tone (both sides of the downtube cover would have a separate color) or a solid color with a different-colored stripe or piping down the center of the column.

 

Good luck with the new product!
