First, DW wants to change the #5 preferred mod in my post above of the interior LED lights, which I thought were both super efficient and almost cool. She suggests that the preferred mod #5: is "Blind spot mirrors" that I installed shortly after we purchased the car. She reminded me that we both use those constantly and they have avoided many accidents. Have to agree with that--i guess I was so used to having them I didn't even think about 'em! But sure I can post pics of the arm rests! Here are pics of the passenger side and driver side arm rest. I shaped a thin piece of 3/16" plywood to fit the oddly-curved shape of the armrest (kind of kidney shaped). I tried using industrial Velcro to affix it and that failed after a couple hot months. Then I screwed that base plate to the rear of the armrest with very small brass wood screws (seen in the pics below) and, using a small brass hinge, to the inside of the pocket at the front of the armrest. The attachment point is at the rear of the pocket, so it is still basically empty and the door can be opened and closed in the normal manner. tell me if you want close-ups of the mounting or anything. Atop the base plate I installed a 1 inch layer of wood for stiffness and then then a 3/4 " layer of closed-cell foam cut from an old kitchen mat for cushioning. The result is: Let me know if you want more pics or construction details. Cheers!
