JDM Center Armrest - GD3

Anyone have pics of the JDM Center Armrest on a GD3? I really miss having an armrest in the middle there.

HI,

Yes, it is a hassle on Manual Trans. I bought one this before and removed it just after few times use.

Put a short shift kit (or 2!) on and get a Circuit Hero shift lever extender. Puts the shift knob right up where you want it and the shifts are still nice and crisp.

I just got an armrest and installed it............

I got one of those small armrests that fit into the cup holder. (less than $50 delivered from EBAY)

It was easy to install and looks great (feux black leather)...

I am worried that excess weight put on the armrest might loosen the four screws......

but all in all, i find my right elbow just resting on the armrest without even thinking about it............

Installed the JDM console on my '07 automatic; very satisfied with it so far. I do a lot of 400+ mile trips for work (This is the reason I bought the car.), and the center armrest makes the long haul a lot nicer. I use the bin under the armrest for storing the GPSr and the Zune and all the associated gadget cords; very handy.

damn, i know it might get in the way while shifting but it does seem to complete the interior of the car. it's an extra storage compartment as well. i guess i'll save up money so i can get this.

*sigh* let's play the "save money" game again.

Do you have a link? The cheapest I've seen is 247+shipping. Maybe I can order this a little earlier than I had planned on!

Just installed mine today....Looks and Feels great!

The only problem was that it didn't come with the screws to install the lid assembly to the center console...did this happen to everyone else?
