Yeah, I downloaded CollegeHill's video of the center console install to my iPod. I used it the 3 times I had to install/remove/re-install the center console. Nice to have. Pictures are worth a 1000 words. Video is even better.

 

I'm waiting on mine from AJ, I can't wait, I broke down and spent my work bonus on something from Password just to help pass the time.

 

I ordered from them. BIG mistake! I could NOT get them to respond to email or voice mail. Voice mail sounds like cell phone voice mail (not a business). I tracked down the maker of the armrest (WOOD COMPANY ITALY - Armrests and storages for auto - High quality auto interior accessories) in Italy. They told me they too had not been able to get in touch and that they were owed many thousands of dollars. I got a phone number for woodcompanyUSA.com off the Italian website, disconnected! I put USAA credit card on them. USAA credited my account and were going after them for fraud.

These guys are crooks!

 

Wow! That sounds pretty bad! At least u got your money back. Plus, that's some good detective work u did.

 

Yeah I'd only recommend bernardi, japanparts and AJ-R to get the oem console.

After I got my grey one I spoke to AJ and they should be able to order the same for a bit cheaper than getting it from japan and it's in Canada so for all the canucks up here it's the place to order from.

 

Good to pass the word around--I do like the way that unit slides back and forth though--you get more area to rest your arm on--the one I got from Singapore costs less, but it is located further back and provides less area to rest your elbow. But it is still great for storing the CDs out of the way, and the don't bother me there, whereas anything placed in the space in front of the stick shift is a pain since it slaps back and forth when you accelerate and/or stop. Now I simply keep the wire there for my mp3 player.

 

I will deffently be picking one of these up i cant stand not having an armrest.

 

Got the one from Singapore two years ago and have lost the info. Have friend who would like same. Do you have the website info to pass along?
Thanks,
MM

 

great pics and great links, i would've been lost without this thread.

if you're in arizona, jdmland.com might be good deal for you too!

 

Evasive Motorsports $295 + tax.

Thanks Justin!!

I picked it up yesterday and installed it right away. I love it!!

If anyone is looking for a JDM center console with armrest, this is the place to get it. Lowest price i've seen. They've got plenty in stock and ready to ship or pick up if your local. Plus the guys here are really cool.

 

my armrest didn't come with screws to attach the lid to the armrest - the two that go in the hinge.

anyone know roughly what size i might need?

 

Did yours not come with the extra Accessory (cigarette lighter) plug?

There should have been two screws in the packet along with the extra plug.

 

nah, mine only included the armrest console and a box containing only the lid.

i re-used the cigarette lighter plug and the aux port from my original console.

?!

 

Hi, guys, just another place for a nice armrest for Honda fit, check this out:
2007 2008 HONDA FIT Armrest storage with cup holder honda Wheel Shop

 

Isn't this the armrest that is made from pressed wood covered with vinyl?

 

oh man i want one of those JDm consoles. can't believe they didn't just send the car over like that. they must have been listening to us cause the 2009 models will have an arm rest. anybody here have one of the cheap ones and like it. there is no way i'll get the ok to drop that kind of coin. all you married guys know who i'm talking about.

 

hah it totally is, poor quality and looks so out of place in the car. literally just a box not held in place very well if at all.

the zeta nonfolding armrest is a good deal, it actually flows with the interior.. my second choice after the jdm console but i just got the jdm one yesterday

 

I just won this unit on Ebay today.

 

that's Zeta's nonfolding armrest. I've had mine for 2 months now. Works great but I just had to go and buy the JDM console lol I'll be selling my Zeta shortly for $80 shipped. Paid $120 for it.

 

Ordered mine today
