Since I'm a kind of just get it done guy I got out my carving knife and chopped a chunk of foam to fit between the seats. 5"w x 12"deep x 10"long.My wife is covering it with fabric that matches pretty close. Slips in or out in 2 sec. throw it in the back when not needed.When its done I might have a picture if I can figure out the damn camera software.Oh it's even going to have piping around the edges :)

Scionicman,It's not to hard to do just get some 6" thick firm foam from a store or old couch set it in and measure and cut till it fits. If you have a big chunk you can make
3 or 4 to get it just right. Then get it covered at a trim shop if you can't do it at home.

The only arm rest I need is the window sill. I'm strictly a right-hand-on-the-wheel, left-elbow-in-relax-mode driver. That's why God and Henry Ford gave cars windows. :wink:

Actually I'm 6'3" 250 I drive with my right arm on the rest.
