Anybody looked at the armrests offered here:
http://www.armrests.com/armrest.html
Maybe adapt something if you can't wait for the factory offering?

I'd only want one if it had storage, otherwise it's pointless.

+1 on that RX-8 style armrest. I honestly just want it to cover the open hole there. I don't drink drinks in my car if I can avoid it, but I do transport drinks in the cupholders. I wish there was a way to make a nice cover for the seat heater switches, or just something to replace that spot entirely and I could relocate the switches further into the center console. Example:

There are many different types of armrests, some are simple, others are more fancy and have added functionality. We will probably keep it simple so it can be a simple armrest at a price point that wouldn't dent anyone's wallet.
any news?

I dont see why it requires anything. I don't match my clothes, and my elbow could care less what color its resting on.
