Be careful with Best Buy. The quality of work varies by the location, as well as when you get the installation done. Some shop managers care more about the install procedure than others. Also, just because someone got a good job done a year ago, doesn't mean that installer still works there. In the end, turnover happens at a place like Best Buy.

Check your local car forum for recommendations. That's always given me good leads to go on.

You left out FR-S factory mudflaps. Just about a necessity when you put wider tires and offset wheels for that flush look.

Any suggestions on a near OEM looking arm rest? The OEM one is WAY too expensive.

If you want OEM you have to pay OEM price.

Sadly there's no nice choices like this for an armrest

Kostamojen · 04-14-2014, 05:27 PM

An arm rest is going to require upholstry work. Unless its made in a sweatshop in china, its not going to be cheap.

My Carsmo armrest is great and worth every penny of the price I paid.
