There are so many cheap options now for armrests, why bother? Not to be an ass, but that looks pretty bad.

That's fine, you have your opinion. I only liked the OEM one, but that is a bit much for an armrest to me. None of the rest that I saw were able to lift open.
This was about $25-$30.

DIY armrest FTW



I agree, $20 worth of materials > expensive OEM option

What'd you use to cut the base material that holds everything together (looks great)? I was lacking in that department and just used a saw I had laying around. Dremel?

That license plate was photoshopped.

Does that slide rearwards for access to the plug if needed? I like the simplicity as a cover, but for an armrest it seems like it'd need to be taller. Of course, driver height plays a big role there.

yeah, she slides back to give access to the cubby hole underneath and plug, and removable to replace with extinguisher for track days
