Armrest, Illuminated Cupholder, and other Pics.

Here are some pics of the Armrest installed in my '09 OR Sport. Here is a link to the post about how the install went: click here
Forgive the ever present lint and dirt.

I realized in looking at the pics that I did not snap the cupholder tray in all the way, so it's obviously misaligned from when I did the armrest install last night. But you'll get the idea. I'll pop it back in. This was taken during the day.
Lights off, Lights on.

Here's some shots of the rear of the sunroof, where I was able (after many trials and failed techniques) able to get a reasonably smooth bit of silicone to fill the gap where the rear of the roof doesn't follow the sudden downward slant of the roofline. Not as noticeable now as it was before.

Then there's a side shot under the clouds.

Can you give any more details on how you did the illuminated cup holders? Your setup looks great! Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment.

It's an LED "pod" that lights up blue, connected to the lighting circuit for the gearshift illumination. See my first post about it here

It's almost too bright. I was seeing the glare of the LEDs from the driver's seat, so I put a cover around it so the pod would be recessed. What I might do is just replace that LED pod with a single LED that I can sink into the plastic cover over the cupholders. Either that or put a diffusor of some sort over the pod.
