Center console arm rest. I'm goin for it!!

Whats up guru's ?? I just ordered the $20 armrest cover for the center console from eBay. Have any of you ever re-foamed and recovered one ? Mine has no foam or cover left and I'm going to tackle it myself. I was hoping to get the feedback from anyone on here that may have already attempted this. Wish me luck!!!

I did mine .. I just used the old pieces for a template .I'm doing supra seats in my build , so the vinyl I'm using on those I used for the lid .
the shift boots ,I wanted real leather as well , so I went to a second hand store and bought an old jacket for $20.00 and cut it up .
The foam , I just used some memory foam from the hardware store .

looks good !!! I ordered a cover from EBay and just got back from the upholstery shop getting a piece of foam. As soon as the cover shows up I’m going to give it a whirl.

Got it finished. Not perfect but sooo much better. Got some foam from the upholstery shop and some spray glue and went for it.
