I would pay any amount of money for this delightful contraption.

I would crawl over the corpses of other fallen FRS/BRZ owners just to have this.

I think it looks great.
- I wonder if adding locking mechanism might be possible?
- Just getting wild here, but how about two holes in the top to make the cup holder accessbile rather than having to open to get at the cup holders. You would still have the padding at the front and around the holes and nothing inside would be accessible, buy the cup holders still usable?

It looks great, I want it now.

avusblue · 09-19-2012, 12:16 PM

I absolutely love it. I'm envious. I'd definitely be in for one -- if it reflected some of the above suggestions, that might be nice, but I'd buy it exactly as shown, as well.

Go to production!

rikdrt1 · 09-19-2012, 12:23 PM

it does look very good and matches perfectly, but like one guy said.
if your lady is with you and shes drinking a cup of coffee - that would really suck to have that thing sticking in -- it would be cool to remove it or snap it off when that happens...

kinda hard to have both cool cupholders and a cool armrest that isnt in the way. i can see no other way but to be able to quickly take it off when needed .. but not sure.

id buy one either way --- when and how much ?

jeebus · 09-19-2012, 12:24 PM

dude. This is perfect! It's like the one my NB miata had! (only this one looks way better)

deucethemoose · 09-19-2012, 12:24 PM

So in order to use this I have to screw into my console? Meh. I'll pass.

bakerr6 · 09-19-2012, 12:29 PM

also, why not make slots in the armrest to remove it and make the cup holders functional? You could place removeable slots in it that would all ow the armrest to stay, and also have drinks on there at the same time

kwood9000 · 09-19-2012, 12:33 PM

Maybe have it so it slides back allowing access to the cup holders.

Rawdog · 09-19-2012, 12:37 PM

I personally like to hold hands with girls when I drive and I like my girls to be hydrated as well so the whole flippy-up thing isnt gonna work for me

colHolm · 09-19-2012, 12:38 PM

Excellent feedback everyone - keep it coming.

This thread blew up way faster than I thought!

Jidonsu · 09-19-2012, 12:39 PM

want.

ABQautoxer · 09-19-2012, 12:41 PM

I like it. While it would be slick to have it work somehow with the drink holders still working, this is far better than the current setup. Looks like it drills into the center console perhaps? If so that's a downside for me as I'm not sure I'd want to do that at this point. Otherwise, match it to the BRZ limited interior and I'd buy one at the right price.

Does it have a gap to run a cable for a phone charger?
