For everyone who is not sure about arm rest cover installation
 1. dismount arm rest (everyone will handle for sure  , just two screws holds it)see stock surface after years is really ugly and dents are deep   2. remove six screws below  ...and you will see inside of arm rest...  ...where absolutely nothing is needed to do. If you want you should remove OEM cover but it's glued really tight. Personally I didn't do that... and I recommend not to do that as well!  3. find right direction of new cover  ...cuz one side is tinner! However it can be recognized easily. 4. pull out new cover (I believe it's better that way...)  I have used needle and bit thicker stitch. Also is necessary make some holes for screws... 5. screw arm rest together  It's bit harder because of stitching inside. Also this step will a bit more pull out new cover again.  You can see no dents visible and cover fit's perfect... (that's why I recommend keep OEM cover where it is) 6.install arm rest to the car again... (piece a cake )results are below:

95CelicaST: so post results then
. Do you have black&black like me or some different colors?toyotacrazy/Jaws4God: USD$40 shipped (via unbelievably fast post service) Valo666: Never!  . It may cost a lot of money (I believe "packet" is right word for it ) and current ones are not so bad at all... vincent_doggy: you are good businessman . I wish you have also chance find somewhere this and sell it . Use your skills! -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

Well I just installed mine today after i came home from doing a mid-term (actually did it while I was at work).
ETA: 1.5 Hours approx I had to cut mine because when it came for the part to do the stitching, it was too long. In the beginning (airbrushed yellow)  Then the cutting..  Final product!

I was looking for this today because mine just came, so I thought I'd go ahead and give it a free bump
(and actually, can we get this linked to in the How-To section?)
