We dont need no stinkin' armrests....
Well, I don't know if its my thriftiness or its my stubborn attitude that if I have the ability to do something, I won't pay for it. I finally got around to making my own armrest. I did not want to spend a lot on the facelift ones and I hate the old ones and one of mine broke off anyways. So I built one around the existing arm! The wood grain still needs to be tweaked. I printed a high quality vinyl decal at work and Photoshopped a scanned wood piece from a BMW 7 series literature! I still need to play with the color before I bury the decal with clear coat. The door will have nice little hinges and I will finish the inside bits later. I think I'll retro fit another humidor in the armrest in the front!

That's too funny.....with half the money you spent on one set of wheels you could of had that facelift armrest!
Yours is pimp though!
You have tip installed, correct? Still have the shifter padles?

I would love to buy one
The ones I have in my 01 are way too short (well, my arms are too short) so my elbow has to be way back to sit on it comfortably. Where in that case my hands don't comfortably hold the steering wheel.
Keep us posted on what's going on.
