It looks beautiful ... you did a really great job, if you didn't say you've never done this before I would have thought you've done this many times by the way it turned out.

Should've saved the effort and gone with an armrest delete.

What happened to the first one? Matt really needs to cut down on the bronzer.

Amazon! Was $27.00. Now it's up to $36

Also ordered a new cup holder and coin tray which were equally gross.

Did that on the race car. For a street car it would suck.

The E46 armrest is way too high to be comfortable for me. Deleting it is such an improvement.

That's odd. I have really long arms and always thought it was about perfect.
