I was looking through some pictures of another member's car, and I noticed that the armrests are supposed to have some kind of plastic covering covering the bolt that goes into the door trim. I've never seen this before on any car at the junk yard, and I don't think my car came with them (I've owned it since it had 55,000 miles). Any idea if these are still available or if someone has these laying around?

 

I have never seen a car with covers for those bolts. That does not mean they arn't out there. Looks like your arm rests need reglued tho. I had to on mine.

 

Some have them and some dont.I think the camaro used them while the firebird did not.I have a few of them around here in various colors

 

Do you have two black ones? I could use them. PM with with your paypal information and how much you want if you have them.

 

Well post up a pic for me!!

 

I think I only have 1 in black.Came from an 88 camaro which was missing 1 armrest

 

My old '88 Camaro had them, but the '87 does not

 

Every GTA I've owned had the bolt covers.

 

Camaro is not the same as a GTA....Here is what I have

 

Finished the custom door panels( take not, no longer a full pad and handle and installed bowtie in leather trim on top) Custom leather two tone black and red seats. Soon to re-dye carpet to black and paint all plastics black as well with a few spots of red to accent.
Will load more pics of car as she gets done. New body work getting done soon......should be a sweet setup.

 

I like your door panels white_ghost, did you do it yourself.

Is there a build thread?

 

Tehsocks,
I have a good friend who is an upholsterer. I modified the door handle and he recovered. Build thread? what is that. The seats are custom deluxe patterned from Katzkins. I special ordered so that the inserts were a dark red and the rest is black with red accent stitching. The door panels, arm rest, and console lid, are accent stitched as well.
We recovered the console lid with padded leather in black.....can barely se it in the seat pic. The Bowtie is a embossed foam and molded with heat in the vinyl.

 

Do you still have the black cover? What do you want for it?

Yes I still have the black cover

 

You could use some "Krylon Fusion" paint from any hardware store and paint them black.
The fusion paint bonds to plastic very well and where the buttons are going shouldn't get scratched easily.

 

I just joined thirdgen.com. I also need to reglue my arm rests. Can you advise the type of glue I should use and any tips to do the job right? Thanks

 

What do you want for it?

How was the door pull handle made? Haven't seen anyone else relocate it like that. How is it reinforced?
