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.

man i wish i had the dough! i'd be all over it! but soo expensive! but i know i'd end up paying it anyway!

 

jeez didnt know the armrest also added so many more cupholders. looks to be a good deal too considerig retail is 400 bucks

 

Thanks! i just got myself on the mailing list!

 

They better have this in stock this summer when I get my fit!

 

How do you get on the mailing list? do i just pre order it? let me know i want to get this!!!

 

thing reminds me of my wife's old 04 corolla. man, did i hate that car.
i was so happy when some middle-aged woman smashed into it in
the parking lot. lol over $5.5k in repairs, sold the same week i got
it back for my 06 LegacyWgn.

 

Ohhh how I wish I had the money for this.

 

mailing list in when u search for the product, but i just realized if u click the add to cart in his original post, it sends u to ur cart.... i feel like an idiot..

 

Just call there 800 number and place the order. They don't ask if you where on the list.

 

Damn... $430 to Canada, that's nuts!

 

if someone buys me one of these, I'll give you a set of black 4x114.3 slipstreams with tires

 

umm... it doesn't ADD any more cup holders than there are already. two up front, two in back. same number stock, same number jdm.

 

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!!!

 

wheres your second cupholder in the rear of the center console, last time I looked there was only 1?

 

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."

8 left on there website.

 

8!??! I thought they were gone already?
Can I put a hold on one?

Tehhhehh... Well, put it this way. I can rest my arm now while driving.

 

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
