I'll be providing any feedback I get... whether anyone listens is a different story. :)

In my opinion, the shape and feel of the armrest is spot on. Seeing this armrest in person, it looks like the car came with it from the factory. It will only get better in production as this is a prototype piece.

not sure but to follow the rest of the theme on the inside, I would say that this could use a double stitch also

Needs a slot at base to allow mobile phone charger cord to pass through, unless it has one and I'm just not seeing it.

DAMN....Looks great

Very nice, that is pretty much the only thing in my mind that the car is missing.

Hahaha I'm sure even if it closed it wouldn't matter for your under 32oz drinks.

Agreed!!!!

Also; i think it is a must for dual red stitching. one around the top as shown, and one arround the side/edge. look at all the other dual red stitching near it (seats and shifter boot)

Agree on the double stitching.

Very nice!

I love the looks, fit and finish. The only thing is that I would like to still be able to use my cupholder and the armrest together.

Why can't we have our cake and eat it?

Meh.

The double stitching is an interesting idea... Didn't think of it.

That being said, it is only single stitching on the door pad and door arm rests... So this armrest isn't totally out of place.

Where do you keep your phone? Mine fits in under the armrest while plugged in... Bluetooth connection to the head unit means I don't need to touch it.

You aren't texting while driving are you?!? :bonk:

I want one
