OEM Honda armrest.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up incase you did not know. Collagehillshonda.com will be getting a 100 armrest next and did a pre-order today.When i called they sold 40 in about 2 hours this was at 6pm est time.

Finally! We only have 100 units shipping in on Monday or Tuesday next week so don't miss out on this pre-order event! Our goal is to get them in, slap a shipping label on each box, and send them right back out the door. This pre-order event will end on Saturday or when all units are sold. On Saturday we will open up ordering to people who did not join our mailing list. NOTE: Due to the size of this item, it ships at an oversized rate. If you are from Canada you will need to place your order by phone by calling 1-888-244-6632. Shipping cost to Canada for this item is $140 including brokerage fees. Duties and tax still apply.

Product Details:
OEM Japanese import! Much more than just an armrest! This complete center console features 2 rear pullout cup holders and front cup holders that quick change into a large front storage area. The armrest matches the black Fit interior, slides forward to accommodate shorter drivers, and includes a large storage compartment underneath. DOES NOT FIT THE BASE MODEL AUTOMATIC.

Yeah I think Canucks are better off contacting AJ Racing for their JDM Center Console needs...shipping and duties and taxes are going to cost about the same as the console itself!!!

Here's the latest from College Hills that I received in an email today:

"Our mailing list pre-order began Wednesday at 3:30 pm and we are almost sold out. If you are on this list hurry up if you still want to grab up this JDM jem. If you did not join our mailing list any remaining consoles will go on sale this Saturday. Watch our web site for details."

Here's why I didn't get this - even though I really miss an armrest. My 2007 Civic Si had one - and my wife's 2005 Accord has one.

The problem with the Fit arm rest for me - is that it won't feel right. The "door" arm rest is not padded on the Fit, and this arm rest will be. Call it weird - but I just think that it will be awkward feeling.

When I sit in the Accord - and place both elbows on the rests - they feel identical - almost like sitting in an office chair. They are both at the exact same height from the seat.

I would assume that the Fit center console arm rest is at the same height as the door arm rest - but I can't find that mentioned anywhere for sure.

Anyone else feel this way?

I think it's going to affect your posture. Armrest should be on both sides to support both your left and right side. Since this is only an add-on to the center part of the car, I think it will change the way you drive. I don't own a fit yet, but the reason I'm getting it is because it's cheap, fuel efficient, and fun to drive. Paying 250+ for an armrest add-on is not worth the investment. I rarely you the armrest anyways since I always like to tap on the steering wheel with the music on :-) Well aside from that, I rarely use the armrest in cars with it. I would want my fit with maximized space and spend that 250 on something else that improves performance rather than aesthetics. (I don't see it as improving comfort, the fact that spending 250+ on an armrest is discomforting already...)

Just my 2cents
