2007 2008 HONDA FIT Armrest storage with cup holder honda Wheel Shop has anyone have this armrest on there fit? im thinking about getting this one for xmas and getting the strip in red with red stiching, i thought it look really cool with the jdm red look. plus its one of the nicest ones ive seen besides the actual JDM one, its got huge storage space and looks great too. just thought it let everyone know about the great find! also you can make it different colors!

 

hah, speaking of armrests, i'm supposed to get my JDM one tomorrow... too bad i can't be home to sign for the stupid package but anyway from what i can remember reading about this armrest a lot of people don't like it because it uses a cheap quality vinyl which isn't attached to the box very well. also, the arm rest is literally just a box and it looks out of place in the car. i mean yeah the pictures they show make it look good, i considered it... heck i considered all of the options and when it came right down to it i decided not to cheap out especially since i plan on keeping the car for 200,000 miles. so if you don't go with the JDM one then i think the non folding Zetaproducts armrest is your next best bet. it flows with the interior better. if not that then the folding one from Zeta. just my thoughts..

 

Yeah I'd definitely agree with that. If you have the extra money, get the better quality product. It'll last longer and look better

 

Yo folks.

I bought this one.
I definitely should have saved up for the JDM one.
That having been said, it is as advertised.
It wedges down between the two seats snugly.
No permanent attachment points to the Fit.
It's spacious, but sort of cheap on the vinyl on the top.
Looks ok. My biggest issue is that there's no latch on it.

I'll likely replace with JDM when I have some extra cash. (but I might do tint first.)

 

ah thank you for confirming what i thought. i would have been kicking myself for spending $342.68 if all of a sudden people started saying this is the best arm rest in the world.

armrest is what it is. console is the entire thing. you can't beat that. i hate the usdm console too because of the obscenely huge cup holders. i'm sorry i don't stick like 2 gallons of soda in my cup holders every day. i'm sick of having my bottle of water flop over and get in the way of my shifting. this has to be one of the most annoying things about the Fit.

 

I'm avoiding the JDM center console. I have the Zeta nonfolding armrest already. The JDM console is unnecessary for me right now. Maybe I'll sell my console with armrest included later on if I get that itch for JDM, but not anytime soon...

Edit: post above me just swayed me. I'll be selling my USDM console/nonfolding armrest shortly, probably for $175 or so. I just recalled having 20oz bottles falling into the footwell on me lol. Not cool.

 

how come it shows that theres a latch on it in the pictures? can you take some better pics to show me what it looks like? the other thing is im looking for some more space and i dont mind the way it looks i just want to have a place to put stuff since my glove box is completely full and i dont want to spend 350 for a jdm one and i dont want to settle for a small knock off zeta one either

 

I have one and I like, it works fine for the price. Yes, there is no latch, but you can add one yourself if you really want one, I haven't had the need for a latch on mine. It's deep, lots of room, and fits pretty snug. It doesn't move around.

 

do you mean a latch to snap it closed or like a latch hinge thats on the back of it, from what people are saying i dont know if they mean that the lid can just come off or it just doesnt hinge shut

 

The former.

I'll take some pics tomorrow if i remember.

H

 

thanx bud, hey what colors and stuff did you get? i want the red strip and i was hoping someone had one on theres to see what it looks like

 

i got my armrest/console today!!! i love it!




the interior looked so unfinished before this!! ohh and the cupholders actually HOLD normal people sized cups now, aluminum cans...perfect

 

man i wish i had the 350 bux to blow on the real one, o well

 

Collegehills sells them for $299. I'm just going to wait a while though...they'll come down eventually

 

come down eventually, i can't see that happening.. maybe becoming more and more rare, who knows if they have already stopped making these armrests since the 2009 is just around the corner. i wanted to get one while i still could and before the price went up.

collegehillshonda.com is taking preorders for the JDM armrest. I already got mine from evasivemotorsports for $40 more. if anyone wants me to forward my email with a link to preorder send me a PM. They just got the shipment in the country and they are going to go fast. The preorders are open to a limited number of people. Me being one of them. so let me know.

Honda Fit Armrest Console Details:
Much more than just an armrest! This complete center console features 2 rear pullout cup holders and front cup holders that quick change into a large front storage area. The armrest complements the Fit interior, slides forward to accommodate shorter drivers, and includes a storage compartment. PLEASE NOTE: This item installs in the Base 5spd, Sport 5spd and Sport Automatic. It will not install into the Base model Automatic due to design differences on the shifter trim.

 

you've just sold me on picking it up now through the pre-order email I got lol man I need a second job BADLY

 

so lame, it is so expensive. maybe i was just being a little paranoid but i didn't want to take that chance either. 299 is the cheapest i've seen

anyone want to buy my USDM console!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

yeh, guess the enduratechs can wait another month. I need the new console anyway so then I have an excuse to get the mugen quickshifter + shift/ebrake boots and skunk knob lol. That's a month and a halfs worth of spending for me haha. Someone buy my OEM console+Zeta nonfolding armrest for $120 shipped

 

your fit is looking pretty good on the outside from the newer pics i've seen, so a little interior work won't hurt. all of that sounds really nice with the quick shifter and boots. i only wish the stick was a little longer buy maybe an inch or two, it's taking some getting used to shifting

 

You have the quickshifter? I'm actually glad the stick is shorter then lol I like the look where the knob looks like it's almost resting flat on the shiftboot lol. If you have an armrest, can you shift while your elbow rests on it? Probably not...I miss my Del Sol because I didn't have to raise my lazy elbow to shift lol
