Where to buy OEM center arm rest?
I am only aware of Nigel JDM, but the price is not exactly what I'd like to see. So question is where we can buy it cheaper? I am wondering how much it costs in Japan, and whether Toyota/Subaru will bring it to US market in the next year or two. I like it but do not want to pay the ridiculous price. $100 seems fair. Anyway, any suggestions would be great.

$200 is what you're paying. The cheapest I've seen is $195.

Which is $187 in US Dollars... ^^^
To answer the one, I'd take tint over an arm rest. I usually rest my arm on the e-brake and it's comfortable enough. |

I actually do not need it to rest my arm, just want something to cover the mess i have in the cup holder area. I could not believe the car won't provide a cover for it.

I understand that, I took that big book out of the glove box and just stick everything there. I rarely use that cup older area for that reason, but like you. I couldn't justify spending $200 for it.

You mean this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221386524487?lpid=82 Thank God you mentioned. I have never heard of it before. This looks less attractive than the European one, but it is actually more functional. Overall, I slightly prefer this one. Also it does not involve drilling our cars, right? |
