Nice, never knew about that. Pretty cool if you want an accurate temp reading.

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
