Those are the same b@st@rds that I bought from. It did not come with screws. They are not cooperative about that either. When I send them messages about it, they either ignore them or tell me that the screws were included.
The armrest does not fit well without screws, it wobbles - a lot. Your mileage may vary. Other folks seem to have no issue with it.

I tried asking Zeta to tell me what kind of screws I'd need and I'd be happy to buy them myself - no response from them either.

just get some 1 inch or long screws. I'm guessing the armrest itself already has holes. you just are tapping into the oem plastic. I have a different brand but same concept.

Mikey-
I bought one from Zeta. You'll need 4 screws, #8, about 1" to 1 1/4" long with phillips pan heads. Use a long phillips screwdriver, without drilling pilot holes. Just set the rest in place, and use two screws in each of the deep compartments that form the base of the rest.

Talking Center console is a GO!

I installed my center console w/ armrest today. It took me about 20 minutes to do. The hardest part was removing the metal portion of the cigarette lighter. I will post pictures as soon as I get home.

Thanks!

Before and after shots.

Here are two shots of the USDM center console.





And finally, the same two shots with the JDM center console with the armrest.





I will take other shots of the armrest upon request.

I never thought I would get so excited over pictures of an armrest.

How does the top slide out?

I went to the site, it looks like you have to purchase the console and the top seperately. What is the number of the top you purchased? The colors look slightly off. In person is it noticeable?

Nice. Thanks for all the pics, that is what I was looking for.

The color of the fabric does look good, and the brake is covered, you get an extra cup holder, more storage room in the front, and of corse - the armrest!

Does it slide up any further?

Where its at in the last pics - is it a good spot for your arm to actually rest on?
