I went to a local junkyard today and bought a armrest from a 92-95 sedan. It only cost me $7 :D. I had to do some handy work for it to fit properly and it only took about 45 minutes and a extra $2 for paint.



Tools used:

Solder Gun
Plastic I chopped off from the armrest
Sand paper and a block
Duck tape (To hold the pieces in place while soldering)
Pliers to hold the plastic
Wire cutters (To chop the plastic into strips)
Metal saw
Paint

Chopped the old piece to have it fitted right.

Drying up as of now




It will be painted black and installed tomorrow.

 

nice..
but you could've just bought an armrest off of a 2000 and it wouldn't need that much modding to fit perfectly..check out my thread i did this to mine..its in my sig.

 

lunalink how did u fit the 200 armrest in ur rex?

 

yeah, ive got a dc armrest in my ef

 

for 7 bucks and a few minutes of the day, i'd say he got a nice little project.

 

i just trimmed the front to fit flush up against the center console and trimmed the back a bit but its not necessary i just wanted it to sit really flush and just used 2 screws from home depot to hold it in place, it doesnt budga at all with only those 2 screws..

 

The link in your sig doesn't seem to work...I guess I could search for it though. Even though I believe I've already seen it.

 

oh dahm..lol..i posted a pic.

 

looks good buddy
