Not trying to insult you bro, my bad. And I don't have a JDM so i can't answer your question. I DO have the Zeta non-folding and it does not get in the way, it is smaller than the JDM BTW

JDM console can be annoying when shifting if you have a shorter lever like the Mugen. If you keep the sliding armrest slid forward it can be even more of a bother, plus that piece gets in the way of operating the handbrake lever.

All that having been said, I've gotten used to it to the point where I don't even think about the console being in my way anymore.

Its not in the way for me. You could always buy the extender for the shifter.

Yes and no, I like it cause of the storage space.

I love the console! The armrest makes my long commute much, much more comfortable. Worth the money? That's a personal call.

it seems like it is annoying? in a way to shift with the center console in the way. is this true? i tested out my friends console but he has an AT. if i moved the armrest all the way out would it be easier to shift?
