armrest by the Armrest Kingdom

Does anyone know anything about the 2nd gen Honda Fit armrest by the Armrest Kingdom?

Honda Fit Armrest Center Console Accoudoir Bracciolo Apoyabrazos Reposabrazos Armlehne

It appears that Zeta no longer makes an armrest for the 2nd gen Honda Fit.

I am just not sure about it securing in place.

I know the OEM is way overpriced, but I also trust honda build quality. Its a toss up I guess.

I bought the armrest from Zeta back in 2010- I think it was most likely made in China. Cost about the same as the one you posted from Armrest Kingdom. I am wondering if this one from ebay is any good. It sure looks like the armrest sold by Zeta Products. It is half the price. I never even screwed down the one I got from Zeta and it has worked fine for me.

That won't work the GE if that is their design, check with Bean Garage if you want the Zeta

Zeta Products Storage Armrest - Honda Fit 09+ - Bean Garage

Also a +1 for what sooznd's said, there are good alternatives to Zeta online

Don't GE's have armrests built into the driver's seat?

(I can't be 100% sure b/c even if I do....I've never used it)

EDIT: Yee, I have an armrest, don't y'all?

They do but they are very uncomfortable

It's nice to have the extra storage which the Zeta provides

Bingo!

You can always just make something small to cover the hole if you can't find one

I like the 2013 sport seats, though. Also, I'm poor and already have the Clazzios in a box. Just don't want to have to work on the car in this cold

In the summer, at a meet I will let you sit in these seats and you will change your mind.8th gen seats can be had for dirt cheap

I sat in a GK at the Auto show and hated the seats. Not because they were uncomfortable but because they didnt go back far enough.

I used to sit pretty far back but since doing a few laps on a track with a race instructor, I've taken to sitting closer up. Still, I'll take you up on checking out your ride! Always fun to see what cool stuff other folks are doing with their Fits!

I sit back because I have long ass legs.
I agree I like the wheel closer for racing.

Where did you go to the track? I do endurance racing in a EF Civic
the races usually run 7 hours with 3 drivers and we have done
Calabogie
Mosport
Watkins Glen
Daytona Road course
Shannonville


Did you track a fit?
