Look on the Mid-America web site. I think that they show a picture of one installed. I know they show it in their catalog. I have one installed in my car and it is great on your elbow.

To aleviate your sore-elbow-on-the-center-consel-cover problem, drive with both hands on the steering wheel, like you are supposed to!!!

How the heck do you shift if both hands are on the wheel?

I can't drive with 2 hands unless I'm on a track. Just not comfortable to me.

How about some more storage space where you can put your stuff?

The glove box and center console are both too small.

Its easy....as you depress the clutch, take your right hand off of the wheel, take hold of the shifter, shift, and then put your right hand back on the wheel as you let up on the clutch!!!
