I see the pictures and they are really Great!! Some of the best Mods come from ingenious thinking and other's throw-away items.
Supper JOB!
I wonder if I can do that on my RS~S?

[Showie]

[Chupaca]

yes the plastic was cut to the level of the base of the seatclose up right side croped.jpg
i am thinking of making a plastic wrap to keep water out.

I really like this idea. If you do decide to make an up-loadable drawing, could you please let me (personally that is, if it's not a big trouble) and all of us know where it is so we could do the same for our Spyders?

Thanks.

Nice job!I am intersted in making some myself.Would it be possible to get a good list of the actual materials you used, such as thickness of the base plate, were those rivets or bolts used to put it together? Oh heck maybe you should start making them and selling them. Just a thought.

[DriftersWay]

FANTASTIC idea. Looks like another winter farkel for me and a cheap one to boot. I do believe I can tunnel through the plastic and then seal it afterwards. I love this idea and already have the chair. Thanks for the idea my friend.

my wife has tried it on for size and so have a few of the coworkers and i think from their smiles that they did not have any issues getting in or out the arms are so sturdy some grabbed hold and pushed on them to get off. they are just like desk chairs very solid.

and i am making a drawing to scale that i think anyone can use

[Bumble Bee T]

you are either a pro or have too much time on your hands. they look great. just wondering if the same principle would work on a 08 gs. again great job and i would love to have a set of the drawings if you make them

I scored a couple of armrests from a chair at work that broke, even though it was fairly new.

I'd be very interested in the drawing of your plate. I sent a PM.

Thanks in advance for your help.
