This morning I finally finished a DIY project and am pretty happy with how it turned out. When I thought about this project I didn't want to just do a delete, that's too easy. I also wanted to keep it functional, at least as functional as I could and as OEM as a I could as well.
First I bought a spare armrest from an F22, mainly because it was the cheapest I found vs an actual M2/M2C especially since all i needed was a base. First thing was rip apart the entire assembly, shave the everything so you're left with something like this.
Don't mind my Bumble PJs (I love Christmas).
I used a few different things to make the outline of the the arm rest including lexan/cardboard with a bunch of trial and error. Since this isn't my first time making an arm rest or cut out, I have some experience which helped me out.
So after some time I got everything to my liking and made my final cuts, sanding and prep for this final result.
Materials used:
- F22/F87 Arm Rest
- Lexan/Acrylic/Cardboard
- JB Weld
- Clamps
- 9002 Alcantara
- Dremel/Grinder
- Patience
