I have been working on a custom fiberglass armrest for some time now. I finally got it how I almost want it. I had to remove the seats multiple times to get everything done. I couldnt get the right color either. I think I got the color right now but I wish I hadnt made the front quite so wide so i could still stick drinks between the seats. Maybe one day I'll go back and change that. Let me know what you think.

Lots of props for the work, but there is something about it, that I'm not feeling...

i agree that it is the shape, it doesnt flow enough for the interior. re-shaping the armrest itself would help a lot. if it was pointy-er on the front, it would look a LOT better IMO. great idea though, much props

I think the body of it looks great for something from scratch, and agree with the boxy shape of the lid being able to use some work. Sloping the shape of the corners to curve to the base would let you stretch the vinyl over it and attach it underneath for a stock-type look. It would be super easy if you could steal an armrest top from another car, dc integra style, rewrap it and mount it to your box. Anyhow, nice fiberglass work, props.

OK so I think what everyone is not feeling is the top. I used some thick celled foam so that it would be a little softer than a normal armrest but yet still firm. It's really confortable but maybe I need to do something different.
Any suggestions? This is my first fiberglass project and leather too so I'm not super familar with it all. The black part is just attached to the top so it could be easily reworked if someone knows a trick.

i think it would look REALLY good if you re-did the top to look like the p/s job lonski did 2 posts up and if you worked a little on the part where the e-brake sticks out, it looks a little rough there.

I was looking at this again and I must say the job you did looks great. I have seen people do it and it did not look as good as this one is. just change the black to tan so you can match
