You also have to cut your centre console to have it fit...something I would not want to do (although it is a very nice design).

Looks like lid & base-ring which simply fits over top & screwed in place, no cutting required - simple.

Read the description, you have to cut (better description would be drill - either way not completely reversable) your console. Many people are asking for a no cut design with magnets, but a no go so far (not that any form of this design has gone into production).

It's screwed in buddy. If you wana take it out afterwards you will obviously be left with 7 holes, although this is a permanent fixture so why would you wana take it out? For those wanting a re-movable type then this not for you !

Obviously. My point was simply that it was not reversible. Simple.

Besides any of this, the design was being tested as a dealer added option for Scion Canada. Development beyond this has gone nowhere, so you can sit and wait for this or look at other options (which is all the OP is selling).

OK ! Scion option aside, this threads type is probably best option atm. If GB on then I will get this, but still have preference for Scion option for long term, just as me celica, it works perfect

I would prefer to see something like this:



or something that you can adjust nicely rather than an add on.

Looks like something out of an F100 Ambulance not a classy 2012 sportscar.

the cylinders are sized like that in order for the armrest to sit perfectly flush with the center console. you can still store things underneath the armrest depending on the position you install it.

half the item cost in postage is abit of a turn off..

the best group buy i can do is shipping 2 armrest together and send to one address using USPS large priority box for $60. the two can split the shipping making it $30 each. $6 savings each

if i ship more than 2 armrest inside one package, it will already be subject to duties and taxes that may cost you guys more.

you guys are RHD right? so i dont think the scion version (if ever it gets released) would work for your cars



guys let not argue in this thread and just concentrate on how to get these "odd but effective" armrests to you

What if you ship more than two (say 10-15) in only one location and the receiver send's them to buyers.
