Carsmo Armrest

Does anybody know if Carsmo is still making the Frs armrest. I tried the old email that was on the forum from sometime back. I have not had a response. Does anybody have one they would like to sale? Or anyway of getting in contact with them. Thanks Steve

How to buy one?

Is Carsmo still selling these? Are they still in business? I've sent two inquiries to the contact email on the website but have received no reply.

I just ordered a 2017 BRZ Ltd and I want to pick up one of these armrests. They look perfect. But how do I buy one?

Thanks.

I have emailed them just now myself. If I receive a reply I will update this thread.

Cool

Much appreciated. And I just figured out how to send a PM to ray@carsmo (I'm brand new here!) about buying an armrest, so we should have an answer soon. I, too, will post if I hear.

Best, Bill

Heard from Carsmo

With the help of the OP (thanks, Steve!), I was able to reach Tim at Carsmo via email. Turns out the armrest has been discontinued. BUT, he's going to check with the factory and see if they can put a few more into production. He'll get back to me this upcoming week.

I really hope this armrest becomes available again. To me, it looks like the best solution. Attractive, removable, no mods needed, and it preserves the use of cup holders and storage.

If anyone else is interested, I'd suggest contacting him right away. Send me PM for the email address. If several chime in, he might be more likely to do the production run.

Hi everyone.

The CARSMO armrest has been discontinued. Let me look into the possibilities of doing 1 final production run for you guys.

Too bad that it's being discontinued - I've had my Carsmo armrest for a few years now, and still love it; always thought the design was the most practical of what's available, and impressed with the quality. It's so comfortable! After I had owned it for a week I couldn't imagine ever going without it again.
