here's how the OEM armrest will look like

what do you guys think?

For the FRS people it's going to require you to get the leather e-brake/boot so it matches. I wonder if it will have the 86 logo when it comes here?

im assuming it will have an FRS logo like the floor mats.

that's why im ordering the JDM ones :confused0068:

That looks nice!

Maybe USDM won't have red stitching

that would fit the brz real well

JDM ones won't fit right? Given that it's RHD.

why not? the center console is the same for LHD and RHD

it will fit

Looks kinda big...

i wonder if this slides to the back or lifts up....

Because the fuel lid lever is opposite.

See the JDM one? fuel lid lever is on RH. It's notched specifically for it

The USDM one is notched on the LH side. Also, notice that the floor mat clips are asymmetrical. And so are the fronts of the mats. So yeah, they won't fit.

hmmmm... im kinda lost here!

in this thread, we are talking about center arm rest and not floor mats :)

Just giving you a headsup. Back to the armrest. This isn't the OEM armrest. It's one that a Toyota dealer (Aichi Toyota) custom made.

Their website.

I can read Japanese. The armrest does not go up, nor is there storage within it. It looks like it just a box that sits in the spot that the cupholder does. You can put it fore or aft, just like the cupholder.

yeah i actually ordered the GT86 floor mats already. i am eliminating anything that says "scion or frs" in the car. and yes 86 airbags and trunk mats as well. :confused0068:

good info!!! thanks for clarifying.

yeah i would like to see something with storage.


also can you translate the full detail/description on their website? or i can just use google translate! lol

Just use Google Translate. If something isn't clear, I'm more than willing to help translate. And yeah, you should try to find some EDM LHD GT86 mats.

i already found some. from a LHD 86 :thumbup:

thanks again for the info

i guess we have to wait for the REAL OEM USDM accessory to come out in winter

Looks good, maybe a bit big. A lot better than what I thought it would be, was expecting it to be similar to that of the yaris.

I was thinking I would want the arm rest but mine came with the optional drink holder and phone holder, and I don't seem to miss having an armrest.

What about those 2tone seats. Anybody knew were can I get those and how much they costs? I'm assuming it will fit on BRZ right?

Looks great with the stitched logo. Wonder how long will that last?

Cup holders seem to get deleted with this attached. Hmmm... not sure if I'd want that. I'm too used to placing stuff in the mid console's cup holders. Choices choices.

Will purchase if reviews say it's durable and it's under 100 bucks.

Not bad but I wish it didn't have the red stitching.

It's kind of funny how a center is now being offered. I remember the Honda mod for the Integra was to swap it out with the JDM version that didn't have a console. :bellyroll:

Just "meh" for me. It looks too much added on, which of course it is.

I thought at first I would need it as an armrest, but I've found I really don't. I'll hold judgement for the real OEM version (as noted above this is NOT the OEM one) but if it doesn't add storage and doesn't retain use of a cup holder, I won't be getting one.

Not sure if it flips open

Yikes, I was hoping for something much smaller. Good to hear this isn't the OEM version.

Not feeling it. I actually dont mind not having an arm rest though. We'll see what Toyota brings to the table though.

I've been waiting for an armrest, but this is NOT it.

I was hoping for something like this

That is exactly what I would want, but it needs to slide back for access to the cup holders or fold all the way back and become cup holders for the back seats maybe (for looks not because it would be practical).

Sooooo like this ;)

That would do it.

My drive home from school is far to long to lose a cup holder.

Fixed.

Fixed.

If I get an armrest, I want one that is hinged and has a storage compartment underneath.

Work is 25 minutes. School is 7 hours.

Work is 45-60 minutes. School is..wait, I graduated. Sucker!

Blast! I still need my Thirst Buster though.

I use the ebrake as my armrest.

We at Carsmo are currently developing a simple armrest for the FR-S / BRZ. A prototype should be created in a week or two.

There are many different types of armrests, some are simple, others are more fancy and have added functionality. We will probably keep it simple so it can be a simple armrest at a price point that wouldn't dent anyone's wallet.

WHAT IS THIS IN? Looks good!
