How did hey get that armrest to fit?  Looks nice.

Very odd about the hub caps, but did you notice that they still left the star on the grill?

Yeah. I had the same thought about the armrest. It does look good and certainly practical. I'll look into doing something similar, possibly adapted from another car and reversible. Can't be that complicated.

The armrest is certainly practical for long trips, I think a good carpenter can construct one to fit inside our existing storage shelf. Then find a piece of the matching leather to finish the job. Naturally we should store it in the trunk at a car show :)

Yes strange about the star being removed, the advertiser or the photographer certainly has no appreciation for a fine automobile. No mention either of the Pagoda nor Model in the add
 ???

I think the advertisers knew the car would take most of the attention so they tried to neutralise it by removing the 3 pointed stars off the wheels and then not to mention it in the write-up.

I completely agree, the removal of the star makes for a very odd look.
Personaly, I don't really like the fogs either (apologies to all those who have cars with fogs)

we should maybe create subsections of this who in Pagodas don't like fog lights, headrest, armrests, 123 ignition etc.... I know that personal view is personal view, but let's not put factory options in one pot with mods that are an expression of individual "exuberance"

Ifty....
you can easily guess, I hope, that I say that because my Pagoda has fog lights :)

Stan,

You drive your nice Pagoda in the fog?

Task...Task ... Task ...

 ;D

No pun intended

Not quite sure as to why we need a subsection?
Factory option or not, I don't like fog lights on the front of pagodas.
I think they make the front of the car look too cluttered.

R-D
hahaha

Good try . but seriously, I have driven my Pagoda by night quite a lot, and believe me they make a difference, given how "bright" the traditional headlights are...

Fair point Stan.
I must admit I have only used my pagoda a few times at night and the headlights were not the best.
