How to Resolve Problems on Center arm rest leather bubbling with $30 budget

Hey guy's !
I see allot of treads on this forum about arm rest leather bubbling,but never tod it will happens with me.Here's my Problems solving on Center arm rest leather bubbling with spending of $30.00 total
Remember if you use some web site's to build cover you may pay up to $70 + plus you have to install it on your own
Save your $$buck make research on Lather price's and do yourself.

Matching the thread color is total nonsense.The OEM thread color is DIRTY white color "gray" if you use regular white its Matching OEM color even give's more refreshing look to lather

Looks great. In another thread I was talking about doing this, you beat me to it, great job. I think red stitching would also look good.

I guess you could just skip the seam down the middle, our 2012 doesn't have one in the middle. Cut out some of the stitching work.

If you are buying it from the eBay seller TopGaiters, it will look great. Mine looks great and it's real leather. One thing, put an additional layer of foam in it when you re-install, makes a difference.

Unfortunately, mine is already installed, so can't take pics of the underneath. I can take pics of it in my car if you'd like. I can vouch that this is nice, thick, quality leather, cause I installed it myself. Its not that subpar leather that Honda uses for their seats.
