It's also to cover the mess in the center console (if you put stuff in it) - my OEM armrest is one of my favourite mods and something the car should have come with.

That depends on what coilovers you buy. I have KW V3s and they are quite comfortable (and that's come from other friends riding in my car, which also rides on 18" wheels.)

What difference does an automatic make? I'm surprised you have a girlfriend as girls like manual transmissions...

I have never used an armrest in my life. If on a long drive I just drape my forearm across my leg and shove my hand between my thighs. Sooooo....

You hold hands on the gearshift, duh. The best girlfriends handle your stick for you.



If SO can't handle your hobby, they're not worth it.

Gotta keep hands busy!! Idle hands lead to issues with eye sight!
