Btw, is there a part that protects the inside surface of the ebrake boot? I thought I saw a pic from an old thread that shows an insert that keeps the brake boot from rubbing against the jagged parts of the brake handle mechanism. |

The USDM armrest also looks like it would be way too high. I raise my seat as is but it looks like it would be uncomfortable... |

The missing armrest was the only thing I didn't like when I drove the demo car back in '12, so I got this off eBay while waiting for my car.
It's the perfect height for me, so I've kept it even after the lid type was made available. |

Mine looks just like Sarlacc's. Can't get my pic to load. But made it myself. Materials cost less than $20. Has black walnut cylinders on the bottom that fit perfectly in the cup holder. Can move it forward or back, and bolts in the cylinders allow for height adjustment. Love how the double stitching matches the monogram seats. Looks factory, well worth the effort. No way I was paying prices they want for them. Use it a lot, but removable any time

That looks really awkward. With the cupholders in the rear position like that, your coffee would be behind you. I know for certain that if I had to reach back between the seats to get my coffee, I would end up bumping the bottom of the cup on the pad, knocking it out of my hand and all over the car.

If you sit with the seat more forward then it might be a bit awkward - I'm always just careful, and I never grab my drink unless I'm at a red light, and I always have a cap or a lid on the drinks I bring in my car. I always lift my cup up a ways when I grab it, so I haven't run into the issue you brought up. |

Here is what we use as an "elbow" rest.
Nice and wide, so the mrs and I don't fight over elbow space .... It was made in Italy ..... so the Interweb told me ..... by a little old man (most likely some kid). Made of real leather ...... or some good pleather ..... It was custom made ........ for different car ....... so, to make it fit, I re-customized it to fit my FR-S. I can't remember where I ordered it from or how much I paid for it ...... too soon ........ but I can remember the timing advance, points and spark plug gaps and valve clearance, for my first machine (1937 Chevrolet pick-up). humfrz |

Why you guys like arm rest so much? With that thing installed, I can't put my takeaway coffee.
