New look for my doors?
I was reading somewhere that some year Miatas don't have armrests built into the doors... so I removed mine. The extra couple inches I can lay my knee over now makes a huge difference.
I'm not really into looks, but I've gotta do something about the imprint. What I thought about was getting a large piece of textured black plastic and trim it to fit, or maybe just have a fabric shop cover a piece of sheetmetal with material similar to the door. Any suggestion?

the armrest panels are pretty popular. most people are doing the opposite: pulling their later model panels and replacing them with the earlier panels with the arm rests. You could probably work out a trade with someone and get their newer arm restless panels. They have a very nice storage pocket.

Damn Sideways, when the window is down, I just grab the top of the door. When the window is up, I grab the top of the triangle window brace. My top is never up, ever. It's no biggie.

you can pick up those, the sad part is, the aluminum panel pictured is no longer in production....although, it wouldn't be hard to recreate a flat sheet of metal.

The first ones are kidna cool, but I'd have them powedercoated black... but I'd rather just cover up the ugly indentions and call it a day. I'm gonna hit a local fabric shop and see what they've got... plus some spray adhesive and a thin piece of plexi should do it.
