I think it has enough cushion and is the perfect height for me. There were a few other armrest options that seemed a bit too tall, and I went for this one because I wanted an actual closed console to keep things like change / sunglasses out of view.

Personally I don't rest my arm there much as I drive with hands 9/3 95%+ of the time, but I rested my arm there a bit on the highway this morning and it felt good.

More cushion than the upper door skins but less cushion than the lower door armrests.

It bothered me so I had mine reupholstered.

I recently got a new lens for my Canon 70D, so did a little mini photo shoot. I really don't know much about shooting good photos so still trying to learn. I think I had the wrong shutter speed in most of the shots, they just don't look as clear/vivid as some of my other photos.

definitely invest in a polarizing filter! a good one can be found well under 30 dollars on amazon. the filter alone will do wonders for all your pictures.

lovely car by the way

Oh, I have a filter on my lenses for sure. I think my camera settings were not quite right as I was playing around with different things. Have to try again sometime

Threw on my ft86speedfactory exhuast! Love the sound!!!! Took me and my brother about 2 hours. Including trips to the hardware store to get tools. Simple and straight forward for non-car guys!

did you peel the existing pedal cover off with pliers? Took me good 10-15 mins of pulling and twisting

I don't think you are supposed to do that. The Cusco one just fits over the existing pedal.

It is much easier to install if you remove the front seat (or the pedal assembly).
