Holy crap dude! lol, maybe resize them next time too!

Some good stuff there though!

How likely is it that you could get some of those power-window arm-rests for me? I have the exact same interior as that Green SR with the power windows. I was onto a guy in japan through ebay, but the ones he had were all faded and the plastic corroded AND the wrong colour lol.

Power windows were never an option here in Aus I don't think, and even if they were, I doubt that anybody took nissan up on them, so its not likely I can get them locally.
