Is this the Armrest?

Saw this on Ebay. Claims to be the JDM armrest. But it seems a little plain to be an official Toyota accessory. Anyone know for sure?

No.

Toyota doesn't make an arm rest. Any you find will be after market.

Actually Toyota is about to release theirs.

Is there a thread on this armrest? This would be exactly what I'm looking for.

I tried searching and didn't find much.

Whew, that official one looks better. I suspect installation won't be cheap though.

Should have been in the car in the first place.

I tracked down the Toyota armrest to a store in Germany. Not available yet but they will be selling it for 169 Euros which at the current time is $228.00. The installation doesn't look too bad.

And no one here will want to buy it because they have to drill. Every great arm rest gets shot down for having to drill

I got the Carsmo one. Winning :party0030:

I'll buy it even though I don't want to drill.

Reasons:
1) This the only armrest that flips up and doesn't have to be totally removed to get to the contents (and it covers the entire console opening).

2) I'm not planning on removing it so drilling doesn't really matter.

@Sportsguy83 sells custom armrest made in different sizes. I have no affliliation with the maker but I got a chance to see them in person this weekend and I was genuinely surprised. Materials and craftsmanship were suberb, probably the closest thing to OEM as its gonna get.

Doggy (on the board, also known as DCW) is making 2 arm rests that flip up. you should check them out. very attractive

It has to be drilled, Toyota is not going to sell something that will fly around in an accident (cupholder excepted). It really comes across as an afterthought though. They should have engineered the center console to accept the thing with minimal drilling required.
