Forget all the armrest you have seen thus far, this is what we need!

Forget about all the armrest designs you have seen. Each one of those have some design trade offs. This is what we need:

The design is by Boomerang. They have a design for Mazada 2 and Ford Fiesta. If we can get this company to make one for the BRZ/FRS that'll be awesome!

Pretty sick. I just don't like how all of the armrests either sit to high or eliminate the cup holder. If they could make this a lo-profile and keep one cupholder, I'd sign up.

Wouldn't match. Perhaps a similar opening mech and metal surround frame but it would need to be very specific to our model obviously. I like the one posted from UK as far as looking OEM but Id want to spare one drink holder with perhaps one round cutout at the very rear.

What an obnoxious video. Show me the product, you don't need 40 seconds in a useless attempt to generate some hype for an armrest.

Each one of those Boomerang armrest is specifically designed for each vehicle. I sent an email to the company asking if they will have a specific design for the brz/frs. Waiting for their reply. The brz frs model has to have a shorter neck part i think. Best design so far. It doesnt eliminate cup holders and u wont have to remove when having a bottle.
