17671, Writeup on RS arm rest!
Posted by HondaHater21, Mar-21-02 04:20 AM
Ok, I took the pics todayso u can see how it looks. I like it I can rest my arm on it instead of my lap.

1) get some sheat metal or any metal that can be bent
2) hindge, look at the 1 I got(its like a L)
3) fabric or sumthin and foam to cover it

To make it first take out the plastic tray, pull it out around the trim. Once its out turn it over on some paper and trace it out. Then transer it on to the paper. Than trace it onto the sheat metal and cut it. Once it fits flush on the center console bend it a bit to fit. Then atach the hindges to the metal and center colsole. Cover with foam and fabric and wala, ur done!

mine dosnt fit flush due to my crapy cover I tryed to make, but when I do it will sit flat

My only suggestion is to attach the vinyl to the underside of the top and make a cover plate to sandwich the vinyl into place so you dont see the tie job you got there.
