Did anyone buy these? Is it good?

I bought a Similar one on ebay, that just has a piece that sandwiches it in there and allows it to slide. I have seem those and mine in person. Both are identical quality of top materials (leather and red stitching). Sometime the lower part may have too much glue, but can be peeled off. Both work well.

The fellow who made that arm rest also (by popular demand) made one that looks close to identical but instead of being a "shorty" it covers the entire opening in the console instead of partially covering it like the illustration you show. The longer of the two is the one I bought. I don't use my cup holders and wanted a arm rest that also served as a complete cover for the cavity because I use that compartment to keep misc. stuff in it.

I'm very satisfied with the quality of the job. I will say it's a bit pricey but being what I wanted I gladly paid for it.

I've been using that one for about two weeks and I've been satisfied. It doesn't rock much and the padding is plush.

I also considered this one.

Anyone have this one? It looks like it would be great.. though to be honest I don't drink stuff in my car, too afraid to spill.

I'm still slightly bummed out about not having an arm rest in this car. I might have to buy one of these soon.

I didn't consider one just because there is almost ALWAYS something in my cupholder. This is the first time I'm seeing the small one that doesn't interfere with the cupholders. It looks slightly awkward yet functional. I would definitely want to hear some feedback, though, before even considering purchasing.

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm ecstatic that you keep being happy with it

I agree but having the full size one that covers the open cavity sure goes a long way in making the interior look complete instead of looking like something is missing.

it seems good xD and the fact that you can have one cup holder open is kind of useful

there is one that only covers the area that you have that doesnt cover the cupholders but that one looks kinda funky lol

I'm sorry, I'm so computer illiterate I hardly know how to Google. I bought it from Sportsguy83. If you pm him I'm sure he can hook you up. It looks exactly like the one in the original post of this thread only it's longer and covers the entire cavity. I don't use the cupholders in my car and put them in a garage cabinet. I use the entire open area for general storage. I admit I don't use it that often as an arm rest but it sure gives the interior a finished look in addition to the increased storage.
