-Matching vinyl finish with red contrasting stitching to match your FR-S interior trimming
-Track system allows armrest to slide from forward to rear, giving easy access to the cup holder.

Description : Center Armrest

MSRP: $199.00

Installed MSRP: $249.00

2013/2014 FR-S

I like the other one better in my opinion especially for around the same price.

i like the fact that it's raised, and that I can still have my coffee mug or water bottle in the cup holder. will definitely buy.

Yeah, meh... It should be lower profile and taper off at the front instead of at the rear. This isn't the official Japanese one is it? It's just a Scion domestic adapter type of deal, right?

It has the "after-thought" look...

It has a new base that adapts over the existing center base. Not a very good design, never really fully conceal's everything. Sort of cheap but I have not seen one in person.

I don't see why people are so obsessed with a center arm rest o.o

It's comfortable, looks much better than just a pit with cup holders, and you can conceal things easier, such as change, sunglasses, etc.

Id have to disagree tbh .. I have my iphone sticking straight up occasionally bc i have other things in that pit and my elbow hits the iphone - and its sticking out like half an inch
I'd imagine that my elbow would be hitting the center armrest over and over when i shift and would drive me nuts!
I'd rather save the few hundred on something really useful :/

The full folding EU 86 version one is cheaper and way better looking and functional IMO.

Swing and a miss! Good idea but poor execution.
