S.O.B!! We'll I'll be a donkeys uncle... Most of the time when I click on a post to see fab work for a part that's home made (several brands over the years, many different forums), I always think that it's cool that someone took the time and had the idea to actually execute something that was conjured up. Only once did I like it so much that I bought it. This was a brilliant idea! Also, this is something that is so well done, I would buy it! It matches the interior, is fully functional, and it resolves a legit issue. Currently, when my wife is riding shotgun, I connect my phone (Android Auto / Waze) and toss the phone in the back seat. Almost 90% of the time, I leave my car, forget my phone, then double back to disconnect and collect it. Biggest downside for me is losing the cup holders, which I use regularly. You also found a way around That! Hat's off to you, sir! Fkn brilliant idea and execution!

Thank You! It's been a undertaking. I can only devote a little time here and there, but the comments and the results make it worth while. I'm going to try and see how to produce these more quickly too, so hopefully I'll get some out to the list of people who have been requesting them.

A little bit closer..

Very nice so far. Look forward to seeing it when it’s done and installed back in the car.

Absolutely amazing work and ingenuity. You should be working for GM design and knocking some common sense into them.

How much is the armrest and how do I get on the waiting list? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm working on some stuff now to see if it's possible to produce some parts faster. It's too time consuming to do these by hand, so we will see what I can get going.

Jaxcam02 · 05-28-2021, 08:30 AM
