Perfect match to the interior. I used 2 layers of 3M automotive adhesive tape. So far it's been on about 5 weeks and it hasn't moved.

Source for the armrest? Looks like the EU one but actually opens to the driver side not the passenger side. :P

It's the Gt86 LHD armrest on Fteightysix.com. The latch is on the drivers side. I don't get many passengers...!

Ah 3m. Duh. Why didn't I think of that. Only thing is I don't have $200 for this))))):

Yea I'd rather just put my hand on my ebrake than pay $250 or w/e for this. But that's just meeeee. Enjoy it man!

Looks good. I'm going to get one of these soon. Trying tape first instead of drilling seems like a smart idea.

Did you apply one layer of tape to the console and one to the arm rest and then press into place?

I just received my armrest in the mail yesterday so I'm very interested in more details on how you did this

Sounds like instead of drilling he just used tape like this:

Right, I understood that part. I'm curious how exactly the tape was used. You know, more details? More details would be great.

I'm betting instead of drilling through those holes into the base, he just put a couple layers of tape underneath the whole thing.

For those random parts you can't wait 2 days from Amazon to ship at a premium, O'reily and Autozone are your best friends
