I don't feel this thing...the top and back looks great, but the front looks kinda messed up with like a flat verticle look instead of a smooth transition that curves down...looks very DIY to me...and priced not too DIY...

Looks like a high school project to me. That looks as sweet as a plywood body kit.
A quality armrest will cost money. The JDM Fit armrest is ~300$ US, the Zeta one is 1/2 the price. There's no way you can expect McDonalds to sell you a quality burger for 1/4 of the price of the good burger joint and it be as tasty, juicy and made with quality AAA grade lean meat.

This is what the ebay seller had to say:
Hi, it kind of stuck between the two front seats and sit on top of the center console, will not move and it is pretty tight.
Thanks!
I asked specifics like does it mount into the center cupholder etc. but he wasn't specific beyond what I've included here. I then asked what if the passenger seat was reclined and there was a sudden stop, would it slide? He said it wouldn't slide around.
Comments left by other arm rest buyers (not specifically the Fit) seems to be favorable, people like the product I guess. He said a group buy of 5 would get a 25% discount off the ebay price, plus shipping.

Fitsutra, that one looks nice! $95 and free regular shipping is pretty damn good. Anyone wanna order one and see how good it is? =)

Well, the price is sure nice on the second one; FREE shipping, too. And I like that you do actually install it.
It looks smaller, which wouldn't bother me. Hmmm, wish there was some feedback from buyers on that site.
ETA: Rhyno, looks like we posted simultaneously. I wonder if this outfit would give us a discount for a group purchase?

That does look nice, although somewhat small. I wish the photos from the back were brighter, I want to see if there's a cupholder or anything back there. Also photos of stuff in the compartment would've been nice. Since it's out of stock I guess it doesn't matter at the moment.
I think I'll just hold out for the Honda arm rest. I really like the sliding top action. My sister's 06 Civic has it and I really needed it when driving, otherwise it was too far back. All these other arm rests I've seen don't appear to really offer much resting support.

And it looks to me that it's only $19 cheaper, but then again the other ones weren't even in stock!!
Nice find, kurtdesch!
