Well, Abby worked her magic and turned my cobbled up creation into a beautiful arm rest / storage box/ fire extinguisher storage. What a nice piece of work! Colors match exactly even though the interior was done somewhere else 5 years ago! Seriously looks like it came with the interior kit, perfect match! Padding on top is just the right hardness for long flights, not too hard, not too soft..... just right.
Thanks Abby, Flight Line Interiors! You rock!
