Armrest extension for 2nd gen Sport
My homemade armrest extension for 2nd gen Honda Fit Sport. The existing armrest was too low, too small and not far enough away from the driver's seat.
My test armrest extension can be read at this link:https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-g...away-seat.html
And here are photos of my final armrest:
Made for $16 and parts around garage. Bump was made from a styrofoam coffee cup shipping container. Existing armrest was unbolted and covered with vinyl. I cut the container to fit armrest and space was filled with spray foam insulation. Sanded spray foam and covered with vinyl attached with long staples using with an air-compressor powered staple gun. Then I bolted it back on.
I hope the staples will hold in styrofoam. I considered using a small wood box so staples would hold vinyl better, but so far so good. I haven't completed it yet so you can easily see where i stapled it.
It seems to work well so far.

My slightly used 2013 Honda Fit Sport has Katzkin leather seats, installed by the dealer.I have no idea what Katzkin leather seats cost the original owner, but I like them.
