Ced, is this one of Tomek’s panels? Looks good. How is it for sound and do you notice the armrest gone?

Hey, this is! The speakers sound good in them, no rattle or banging around, as the cutouts are perfectly measured and cut (even with the slit). One of the best purchases I've made for the Ti in years as far as quality.

I put some foam material on top near the window so I can sit my arm down if I need to rest it. That way, I don't cut myself on the thin raw metal that would be left exposed. Pics below of this and the whole interior:

Ced, is the battery secured or sitting in the cubby? While I got mine in snug, looking for a solid retention method. Mine is secured with high density foam at the moment until I can find a suitable tray/bracket.

Thanks!

I've actually replaced that battery with a longer one, and notched the inside to get it to fit. The previous battery was in there within the cubby bucket. I cut it up to secure the battery in place. The new battery is just in there. Won't move anywhere but up. Can you post your foam insert you have? I'm curious. Thanks!
