been posted here before, I don't like how it looks in photos but havent seen in person

Zen86 · 03-14-2014, 01:06 PM

the arm rest actually looks pretty nice... but $200 for a peice of cushioning.... man

FR-Slide · 03-14-2014, 02:44 PM

To each their own, but man...

Looks like a real afterthought that was cobbled together.

Just get the OEM and do it right.

I guess this is clearly for America and it's love of cupholders?

I actually like this a lot. Its expensive because it sits on its own track and can slide back/forth.

subiestyle · 03-14-2014, 02:49 PM

its not jdm, so people don't want it.

add jdm to the name, and instant hard on for it and markup of $200.

meeskee2 · 03-14-2014, 03:16 PM

I can't see pay that kind of money, but I do like that it slides.

DieselxIndustry · 03-14-2014, 03:58 PM

Well it may not be JDM but it is OEM at least and is a lot cleaner than the custom ones from the initial launch. Plus yes, there is still room for my Ultra Mega Gulp...

I like it only because it's guaranteed to be the same material and stitching, and not the "close enough" stuff that aftermarket ones are made of. "Close enough" can be damn near identical but if it isn't the same manufacturer's materials, I won't buy it.

But I don't like it because it looks like its backwards.

Personally I've held off even though I think the EDM armrest/cover looks the best - sometimes I inevitably need to put a drink in the cupholder, and I'd hate to have to drive with the dang cover bouncing everywhere.

I actually think the sliding mechanism is a good compromise between completely losing cup holder functionality and having to keep the "lid" open to use the cup holders. Sure, it's a smaller piece of cushioning but how big is your elbow anyway? Oh wait...

We have done an install on one of these - it was not to bad and it came with a nice install template - took about 45 minutes (will need a rivet gun tool) We did ours with Screws and it turned out fine (as you cant see them)

It was nice that it slides back and you can still access the cup holder.

It for sure is higher than the gt86 one we sell -

We give it a 10 out of 10 -
