And just another Armrest (actually 2 of them).
 

Well - at first then I took delivery of my FRS I was like - what the hell - no armrest? Really? It was strange feeling - because im used to rest my elbow - especialy on the longer journeys... Sooo - it was just the matter of time until I will get one done for my FRS.. And as I see more and more request about armrest here - I would like to hear everyones thought about options / needs - because im thinking to bring these 2 in full production...

Option 1 - its already in the makings - will be made from either ABS plastic or FRP (cant tell which option yet - because still calculating all the pricings) will be covered in leather (with or without red stiching?) and will open up from front. Will come with cup holder on the back (not possible to hit it with your elbow while shifting - already been tried - and as im 6.5 foot - so I have not the shortest arms - so I already tried everything on this cup holder :D)

Will come with hinges / templates ready to install - all you will need is to just simply screw 2 self screwing screws and that's it.

Option 2 - no cup holder - and opening to the passenger side only. Will be available in leather OR Carbon fiber. Hinges on the side - so install will be pretty easy too - just 4 screws. Stock cup holder can still be used once its armrest lifted up.

Well - here are my 2 options - if you have any requests / ideas you would like to share - just share them here.

I will try and keep pricing as low as possible - so MIGHT drop the idea of stitching (to keep price low), but still will use REAL leather (Im mostly using BMW or Porsche leather) OR Sway options will be also available.

Option 1, name your price.

Nifty arm rest, but what I really want to see are these "self screwing screws"...

option 2 reminds me of the RX-8 a little, maybe incorporate a slide back design or something because i loved my RX-8 armrest hehe...

#1 is cool too but definitely will get it if wrapped in leather.. I'm for both designs leather wrapped with matching red stitching. Maybe incorporate a "hole" for cords for AUX or charging wires?

...mmm Sorry - don't know how to call them (English isn't my main language :D) they are the screws that don't need any drilling - just screws with like 'drill bit on the tip' and they just drill hole once you screw them... We just call them self screwing screws (not in English of course - so I translated it 'straight by words'...)

Hope this makes sence? :iono:

You will be able to run wires at the front of the armrest - cuz there will be little space left (just for the wires) at the very front of the armrest.

I saw these on facebook earlier. NOM NOM NOM ALL THE THINGS

Self tapping?

Self tapping screws:)

I was just kidding...and they're self tapping screws. Arm rests look great though. Best design (by far) that I've seen yet...

Ok - will know how to call them - Self tapping :) Thanks!

Option 1 in leather with stiching please, been holding off for a while on an armrest but really like this one.

Looks good.

Man option #1 looks great. Leather wrapped with red stitching would be great!

Saw this on facebook and I just want to let you know my wife hates you for making all of these products lol.

The interior pieces look sick I am waiting on the light up 86 you posted and now this armrest!!

Could you please show more pictures of how option 2 is mounted and how it opens?
Thank you.

PS. Leather with red stitching.

Option 1 leather with red. are we still able to put the oem cup holder underneath?

when will it be available for purchase?

Option 1 with a smooth faux leather like on the doors with single red stitching.


Afterwards...my money will be yours lol.

Although I'm not really sure how I feel about the hole there though. I'd have to see it finished.

But seriously looking good so far. Have a price ready ;)

I LIKE THIS ONE!

Also ta add to this, I like number 1 as it keeps the cup holder.

Wow these look great! Option 1 with stitching and a similar material to match the rest of the car would be nice. :)

doggy - been following your stuff, you have some serious talent!
...waiting for your light up console piece :happyanim:

I like option 1 without the cup holder or option 2 if it lifts up similar to option 1. Material to match the door armrests with single red stitching is my preference.

Would it be possible to make the armrest higher/raised up and hollowed out to allow taller items to fit in the console like this one?

Very nice man. You are doing some fantastic things for our cars, keep it up!

Nice! Will be following very closely. :thanks:

Subscribed! :D

:thumbsup: great job.
Option #1 Leather wrapped with red stitching

How far back does the lid on the first option go back? Does it lay flat on top of the cup holder piece?

Is the cup holder just a hole? Or does it line up with the stock cup holder as well?

My vote is for res stitching. That thing will look bad-ass...

Option 1- matching leather like material as whats in the cars and with red stitching!

Nice job by the way!

sub'd very intrested in this...

#1, I really like that design.

I do have a question about the cupholder though. What is the diameter of the hole? Is it the same size as the factory cupholders? And will it just be the hole like in the picture? Or will you make a bottom for it? (if that makes sense)

Option #1 Leather wrapped with red stitching. Very interested.

I like option 2. I would order it in black leather. Great work! :w00t:

Option 2 with leather but a thin layer of cushioning might be nice? Like the door :D

Option 2. I think the carbon fiber is different and would match the dash you make. Depending price difference though.

Option 1 in Carbon-Fiber!

Option 1, leather wrapped with red stitching.

Option one wrapped in CF?

another vote for option 1, leather, red stitching. def want.

Option 1!

Damn @doggy, you just had to wait until I already got an armrest.

I like option #1, I think it will be functional!

...but I really want a set of your other interior pieces.

@doggy, have you tested if the clearance on the hinged front section is good enough to not hit a phone charger plugged into that power plug? I EXCLUSIVELY use that plug for charging my phone.
