Re: flamed the center armrest

Looks good. Did you use any padding underneath? Looks like it could smart a bit if you bumped your elbow the wrong way

Re: flamed the center armrest

i had alot of extra sub box material (wood, carpet), so i took some 1/2" mdf, cut the base, made a smaller section of wood that fits snug on the insides of the console (acts as a guide) and took some thin sheet mdf and designed and jigsawed the flames, put all 3 pieces together, took some sub box carpet and spray adhesive and covered it. used the original hinge and put her on

and you guys, the hummer has 28 inch rims on it, look up Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, that's his house/hummer

Re: flamed the center armrest

sweet center console cover and your truck is awesome too but I don't think the barb wire looks good on your nice clean truck.
