Pics of new armrest accessory in development. - Page 13 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

not sure if this was mentioned or not, but would it be possible for the arm rest to open from either side? cause now it would be hard for a passenger to get their phone or whatever

edit: nvm i think it has been brought up

mmm I think I'll pass, I don't need an arm rest lol

I like it just as it is. As long as the price is reasonable, they have a customer in me.

can you make a version without requiring drilling?

Laika · 09-24-2012, 12:20 AM

I don't know if I can justify this. It looks good enough but part of it is because I don't need an arm rest. More so because I can't justify paying for something like this that should have come on the car in the first place if I've been able to get by without it.

Regardless, how nice would it be if we received a voucher in the mail that we could take to our Toyota/Subaru dealer for a free armrest?

2.) Make it open conventionally upwards like on alot of cars, you inhibit rear space for the cupholders BUT....

3.) Rear seats should have their own cupholders if anything. Being that car is this small and the rear seats are almost next to useless its not a big deal. One possible solution:

4.) Have the armrest open up a full 180 degrees and have some shallow(ish?) cupholders on the inside of the armrest (like on a Cavalier/sunfire) Kill 2 birds with one stone. If the rear passengers need cupholders, you got it. If you dont...well...i supposed you can have the armrest be 2 stage where it opens 180degrees or it opens up 90degrees?

5.) another option would be to have the armrest open up like in the lexus cars, where it slides back a little before folding up. But that requires some intrusion space into the driveshaft tunnel between the front seats and the rear seats and im not sure if the FRS/BRZ even has that space or if it does, has enough space for it.

yah lets hack up the ds tunnel for our armrests! thats good thinking

If you bought a car that had a properly finished center console with a hinged cover/arm rest like most decently equipped cars have you would end up with a "hacked up" tunnel if you removed that cover/arm rest. If you left it in place you wouldn't have a hacked up tunnel. So, what's the difference?
