In my first week there was some crazy wind & rain and a streetlight flew off the supports and almost hit my car...Near miss so good start to ownership!

Quote:
Armrest is OEM so it matches perfectly with your interior (there are others out there that are cheaper but don't fully cover the opening and don't match our interior as well) I got it from Nigel JDM (member on here)...Here's the link http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/toyota-86-front-arm-rest A little under $200..Expensive but quality is unmatched so I figured it was worth it....You can also still use that space as a cupholder with the lid open. As for the DIY: It was fairly easy/straight forward but a little scary as you have to drill ~13 holes in your console. The armrest should come with a paper template that you cut out and lay across the console to line up the holes. A thread containing guys who have screwed up/sort of DIY instructions is here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30324 To save you some time/headaches... A couple helpful tips: - use a nail to mark the middle of the hole instead of drilling right away, this will prevent your drill from slipping - the two hardest holes are the ones where the hinges sit so don't worry about getting them right on, you will most likely have to drill a bigger hole (which doesn't matter as these holes don't support, they just create space for the hinges) - take the cushion OFF the armrest to get at the two back holes (you risk bending too far backwards if you don't) - always start with a smaller drill bit than necessary and once you're happy, switch to the required size (this way you can always make adjustments) - Crack a beer while you do it! :happy0180:
