Just my guess though.

You're correct. The JP site says the installation is simple put it on top of the console.
Google translate = "Installed, just put it on the console".

Yeah, I don't see it on the Toyota 86 JP site. You're right, it's probably not OEM if it's not on the official accessories site.

If it fits into the grooves that the cup holders do, then you would lose storage under it as well... It would be much more practical to have it screw on to the back of the console and lift up with a hinge, that way you get hidden storage and don't lose the space below it. Maybe I am visualizing it wrong though...

I just wish we could move the cupholder thing forward more without disabling usage of the AUX power port.

even if its not an oem item i bet when toyota releases one it will look exactly the same..(except for color combination maybe)

Agreed. I would spend money for what you described (or one that was hinged on the side), probably not for something that just eliminated the storage completely.

Exactly. It's way too cheap to be an authentic part. "OEM" in eBay terminology means fake.

You can't even get it for $200, shipping adds another $68. It's nice, but not that nice. I'm waiting to see what Scion offers us in the next month or so. I bet it's similar and I'll probably get that, but like everyone else I hate to loose the majority of what little storage space we have if it just drops into the console opening.

Thinking about putting 200x $1 bill there~

cgrey · 07-24-2012, 02:00 AM

No good. Next.

The design is very utilitarian...and not pretty. Although, I love the idea of an armrest, I think it's too boxy and doesn't flow well with the interior.
