So is the OEM armrest worth it or should I just get the one from HondaFitTuner.com that comes out of the cup holder. I am not sure a storage spot and an arm rest are worth $300 but is the other option clean looking enouph for $75.

Thanks for your opinions.

 

Personally, the non-folding arm rest from ZetaProducts.net is great!

 

looks as if it stands out a lot. Does it?

 

mine is a MT and dont like things that get into the way of my elbow.

 

I'm not completely certain any arm rest is worth even the $75 (sorry FitFreak!). I just rest my hand on the gear shift or E-break.

 

I have seen the one at hondafittuner in person. Its nice for the price but i dont think that a arm rest is worth that much ethier.

 

I live down the street from them good shop

 

i would get the JDM center console. Fitment is mint, color is right and it is made for our car

 

I like the OEM one, and I think this is how it should come from the factory to begin with. You can also get the non-sliding type padded section from some vendors if you don't need that function. Folks in the backseat get two more fold-out cupholders in addition to the door-mounted bottle holders. Fitment is OEM perfect, obviously. I do have a couple complaints: the storage bin is pretty small, and the cupholders are (I think) smaller than the USDM version, and a lot of larger cups are a tight fit. The nice thing is that the cupholders have a cable management system if you have stuff like an iPod and power adapter wires for nav, etc. down there, or the cupholder divider can be removed completely for a larger storage bin.

just installed the zeta one, its not bad for 100 bucks, but you're right in the pictures it seems that it doesn't really match, but once its in the car and you see it, you can't realy tell the difference.

 

I was just curious about that... it looks way different in the picture.

 

yeah it acutally looks like it fits well when you're looking at it, but for some reason in the pictures it doesnt' turn out too well...

maybe i'll take some pictures of it later? anyone interested?

i got the jdm one, i intend on keeping the car for a long time, and it is great no complaints. it looks good and finished inside the car now, the armrest itself is very study and the lid is pretty heavy and adjustable, padded and upholstered with fabric to match the seats. smaller cup holders that actually hold aluminum cans and water bottles now unlike the huge ones in the USDM console. plus an extra cup holder in the back.




(i just got it last week)

but really you compare what you gain between the JDM and zetaproducts all you really gain in the JDM console is an extra cupholder. and really from seeing the nonfolding zetaproducts it looks good, it flows with the car and you gain an armrest and a little compartment to store some more stuff.

but i don't regret the JDM console one bit. i look at it as an investment, my car increased in value since i drove it off the lot so it isn't a big deal to me.

 

I want to see some pictures if you don't mind... you can always pm me

 

I've the non folding one like the Zeta but bought it off of ebay for cheaper price. Suppose to be made by the same company. Blend in with the rest of the consol pretty good. Plenty of storage space in it and the secret compartment under the tray is useful.

 

you should take some pictures, i don't see many pictures of these installed floating around

 

the hell's with that huge FIT logo on the dash?

 

hah i have mixed feelings around it, should i take it off? i debadged the back and don't really want to waste like a $30 emblem

 

I can't seem to find the armrest that sits in the stock cupholders. I forgot which site had it. Anyone help me out?
