I'm jealous of you armrest folk.
They look really comfortable, but I have to sit too far forward to be able to use one...

It slides forward and backward between three set positions. You might find the middle position more suitable.

But you said forward. OK, this position shown is the forwardmost position.

To give you an idea of how far forwards I am, my elbow rests at the heated seat controls.
That sliding armrest is my favorite that I have seen though, I feel like none of the others are anywhere near as functional.

They don't. Your car's ride height is determined by your springs and/or coilover settings. Whiteline makes a point to say the bushings have no effect on ride height.

If your feet can still reach the pedals, you can pull the steering wheel closer and push the seat backward. I checked but I couldn't immediately see a way of doing this but there might be a way to adjust the pedals closer to you as well.

Nevertheless, this sliding armrest is also useful for hiding items in the center console. If you liked it, I would suggest, just install it for completeness.

Today I installed my replica BRZ diffuser. The OEM piece is $700, which is absolutely ridiculous for a 4 foot long piece of plastic, so I bought a replica. It wasn't bad for $60, aside from a few left over pieces of plastic along the seams that were easily removed with a razor blade.



I checked on my headlights after leaving the car in the rain yesterday and there was no condensation, so I guess I got a good seal on them. Question for others who painted their headlight bezels: did you clear coat them at all?

Looks good! It's hard to beat $60 bucks, considering it's under the car and will take a beating anyways. So long as it lasts.


I got a set of photos of my car in the mail from the city of ottawa via traffic cam. They charged me $320 dollar for them! Do not recommend.
