Talking Does anyone have this armrest???

just wondering if anyone has this armrest. I like the looks of this one better then the one sold by zeta. If you do have it, do you like it? good quality? comfortable? Thanks!

Cool it looks like a box sitting on the center

- from the photo and description, it looks to me like it is just a vinyl covered drop in box that fits over the center plastic. that might be just what you need, but it does not fold up, it is not adjustable, it might get in the way of the parking brake lever.
Somebody is trying real hard to cash in on the lack of good center arm rests for the US market!

I don't know which that one is, but I can tell you from personal experience, DO NOT GET ONE OF THE CHEAP ARMRESTS. I did, and it broke within a week at the base. It never fit that well to begin with, and it wobbles around.

The only Pro of this consol is it has a lot more room in it than any of the others. Down sides though is it is made of cheap vinyl that tears easy and weak materials. It has no flow with the rest of the car it is just a square box. Also there is no coin holder or other form of organization inside of it.

I have it and I like it, it does what I need it to, plus it has lots of room inside. It does not interfere with the e-brake at all.

This was my thought exactly.

Zeta products has 2 of them for around $100.

I bought the non-folding one. It looks good, fits good, and is made of good quality. I am very happy with it. It also has a coin holder in it. The only Con is it does not have as much space.

Just depends on if you have a long Philips head screwdriver, if you will be using a power tool you’re your hands. Either way it is easy. 5 – 10 Minutes is all it should take. The longer the screw driver the better, it is a little cramped inside the armrest.

I have been consdering the Ebay armrest too. I did ask the one guy on here who is selling one for better pics but I haven't heard anything back from him yet. I like the look of it but it does look like a big box. I am not trying to pass judgement on it untill I see pics thou. Also I don't need a coin holder since I have a JDM one.

We also have the non-folding one. I agree completely, very well made, very nice and comfy. We have had it for over a year now, and still looks brand new.

If interested in this non-oem armrest - I have one on eBay. Check this item number 140539840052. Super cheap!
