It functions exceptionally as an armrest, I don't get what you mean? You're also paying for the craftsmanship

I haven't tried putting it in that position but Ill do it and update you! I think it depends on how secure the cup holders are in that slot

I don't see how anyone buys TOMs anything, I mean 250+ for hood shocks when they are the same ones I have but with a TOMs sticker.. They are identical down to the markings and how the hood feels when opening and closing

Just my opinion, cleaner looking, functional and less than half the cost of the Tom's!
However, I do like the height you gain with the Tom's and it looks great

Is that the stock armrest? I does look nice but I didn't want to drill the interior and if I need to use the cup holders I can throw the TOM'S one in the back instead of having the armrest just hanging there. |

Huh? This certainly seems better than some of the cheap armrests on Ebay, but the quality doesn't look better than the Toyota Europe armrest, and the fitment is far worse. Not only does it stick out too high, it's not even the same shape as the opening, and doesn't fully cover it. Literally the one thing that this has going for it is that it can be completely removed after being installed, everything else about it is worse than the Toyota Europe armrest.

The height is one of the best parts of the armrest that sets it apart from other brands. It really is at a comfortable position and is at a similar height to the side door rest. It fits great too and is secure in the cup holders. I'd rather have an armrest that feels better than one that just covers that center part |

There is one big difference between the two tail lights. But you can figure it out since it seems like you know a lot about TOM'S, probably being an authorized dealer. Oh wait...

proof that people will pay out their ear for JDM LABELED crap.
that is hideous, and actually decreases the usefulness of the interior. Why they even matched the fabric with that horrible eyesore is beyond me, WTF people...you pay for this and are happy with it? where is the quality? Craftsmanship? integration? this product lacks everything an OEM subsidiary should have ABOVE aftermarket parts. |
