wow what I site just for a armrest :roll: I don't think it looks oem though, that material isn't used in the car

I like that one 8)

yeah I am calling now to see if we can get a group buy :)

looks the best out of all I have seen so far

That is a nice armrest.

Most armrests don't look like the other materials in the car. They would become nasty looking quickly if they were. I've never owned a vehicle that had an armrest that had the same covering as any other part of the interior.

It is not factory, but the pics of it don't look too bad. Don't know if I want to spend that much though. I do use the rear cup holder sometimes, and it sits so close to the seat belt latch, I wonder if it makes it hard to buckle and un-buckle the seatbelt. Antway, I thoughth I'd pass the info on. When I called them the company said the product would be available for shipment on 11/29/04.

I gave them a ring and they are a really nice bunch of people.. All the info I have now it there is NO DRILLING or cutting up of your seats it screws into the same hole where the rear cupholder is.

One of the coolest things I think is the cd case that comes with it, pretty smooth IMHO I hate leaving my case wide open for everyone to see when I am parked.

$130 + SH, He said he may be willing to do a group buy and I am waiting for a call back now :)

Sweet keep me posted.

$130!! damn :shock:

Exactly! How much is it?

I would have liked to have seen the same material as the inserts on the seats & doorpanels on the armrests, but it does seem like a nice design so far. 8)

$130.....Might get it if we could do a group thing.

Yeah but $130 is really not that bad look what they are charging for some of the others and they look like ____.

I am hoping to get a group buy price for all of us if I can get people interest but I will get one regardless just to see how good the quality is.

My biggest thing is it looks pretty good (compared to the others we have been dealing with) it is functional (has storage and most of all I don't have to go cutting away at my box to install it.

Agreed. Count me in for the group thing!

Ok I just got off the phone with Chris and they are going to offer a 2 week special for $109.00 + S/H to the first 10 people who order.

What you can do is call 303-447-0902 tell them you are ordering for the group buy and they are shipping right away! so we dont have to wait till everyone is in before they ship.

I am ordering mine tonight so there are only 9 left.. I will leave a review as soon as I get it to let you guys know what I think.

130 isn't bad, the tblizzard one was $150

Just got off the phone with Chris, the company President, and was very impressed. They have spent about a year on the design and prototype leading up to now being ready to finally ship. Apparently they have been showing them (to get feedback during the design process) in Denver-area Scion showrooms.

They also make oem products for Land Rover.

He said he would definitely have one in my hands for the 12/04 Scion Exposed gathering in Austin, TX if anyone coming wants to see it there.

Yes Chris is a really nice guy, it is not that often you you get such personal service from a company. I already placed my order and he said it should ship tomorrow so it should be here in a few days I would think, once I get it I will give you guys a full walkthrough with pictures on the install and let you know how it holds up.

Wow that looks great and the price is great also. Keep us posted on the details.

I think I might have to get this one. I like the extra storage and it looks pretty good. Dear Santa...



Laura

I am down with one I am going to order tomorrow

I'm buying one, for $130, that's not bad at all. The other armrests I've seen don't look nearly as nice, and are all around the same price.

I'm buying one, for $130, that's not bad at all. The other armrests I've seen don't look nearly as nice, and are all around the same price.

Just remember when you call tell them that you are calling about the group buy so the price is $109 for the first 10 people :)

Not feeling it,and it doesn't have as much storage space as the one I made from plans here on SL. Plus it's 109 +shipping.... Mine was 10 bucks total

Sweet... Count me in for one. That is an awesome price for the quality that it looks to be.

Not feeling it,and it doesn't have as much storage space as the one I made from plans here on SL. Plus it's 109 +shipping.... Mine was 10 bucks total

I really wouldn't mind if it had no storage space at all, but the fact that it has storage, and a spot for change, AND a 32 cd organizer, a padded armrest and requires no drilling or cutting makes it worth it for me. $109 is more than reasonable for a product like this.

I have a 5 speed.......will it get in the way?

I'm liking it also! But does that one screw in the rear cup holder the only thing that it is held in place with?

Not feeling it,and it doesn't have as much storage space as the one I made from plans here on SL. Plus it's 109 +shipping.... Mine was 10 bucks total

but how does yours look?

exactly JETHRO ... how does it look? you know i have one for $5 now ... but its a case for cds (you know then one with 2CDs per page) LOL

so show what you have!
Agnieszka

I just placed my order ... they are not shipping till monday so should have it later on next week.

Thanks for the link people!

In my opinion that armrest looks the best of all. The rearview of the armrest looks factory instead of having tall, black metal brackets screwed in there.

Storage is a huge factor in what armrest I buy too...can never have enough storage. :D

Looking forward to hear how you like it.

the web page does not work...

How deep is that main compartment.? That CD case seems to barely fit. :shock:

Defiantly interested, looks the best out of all of them so far. Been waiting for one with storage so might finally throw some money down on this.

Just called and spoke with Rhonda in sales. It seems Chris didn't tell her about the special, and she's been getting calls left and right about the group buy. I was able to direct her to OKIHost's post.

Anyways, I ordered mine and I was 7th on the list of group buy people. So if you want to get in on the group buy, y'all better hustle.

i still cant see the pics or web page..somebody pst

that is sweet..it opens forward..and i like it i like i liket it..let me consult with my wallet

For those of you wondering about the 5-speed I do not think it will be a problem it does not stick out far enough. For those of you complaining about how small the storage is remember your not driving an Expedition ;) if you want more storage space you can just not use the cd wallet or put it in your glove box etc.

Ditto... got mine ordered, she told me that they will be in next week and ship out after that...

There are 7 confirmed orders as of right now so if you want in @ $109 get them while you can.

I guess if matchstick was #7 that'd make me #8 8)

However she did say there was about 3 spots left, mebee they are willing to go +1 for the publicity. :wink:

I agree on the rear view and the base... when I get it if I don't like the top I will either cover it in leather and or mod it with a new piece but I do like the base on this...

Great find BMarle and follow up OKIHost

Hopefully that sale will last until the end of the day. I am waiting on a Nintendo Ds from a friend so I can flip it on Ebay for some extra dough :shock:

Lol, I just called to order mine, and apparently they have extended the number of discounted sales to more than 10. They sound busy, hehe.

I need it to fit my ps2 in there. can someone get them to do that too ? ;-)

Superjeer: first do this: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000980021300/, then I think it'll fit :)

Just ordered mine, they extended it to 20 and are not sure if they will extend it beyond that..so hurry if you want the group buy

well the play station 2 mini might just work..

I like that one!- material look nice!- But for $130, Id rather buy a short shifter...

I'm really liking it the more and more I see it. You know most "factory" armrests are made out of that material anyway and not the seat or cloth material. Plus like Toy xbox said you always mod it if you don't like it. You can always cover it with leather and/or sand it down and paint it.

well the play station 2 mini might just work..
Not sure it will cause I think it's a top loader like the gamecube.

or you can use it to store your games..^^^ but i can always be modified..

It looks a lillte darker than the grey plastic but I is the best looking armrest I've seen. I going to order one now if I can still get it for $109

I asked Chris about this and he said the pictures really do not do it any justice, He said they even matched the grain in th factory plastic on the armrest so I will let you know as soon as I get it. It was supposed to get shipped today so I am eagerly waiting :)

I like it :D I already bought an armrest from cartoys,it's o.k.,has it's problems,but like this one much better.

Just ordered my armrest at the special price! Can't wait till this arrives!

Talked with Chris when I called and he was great to talk with and told me all about the installation and gave me some tips, even though the instructions are thorough. They're all really exited about the quality of the amrest and now so am I. 8)

just talked with Rhonda and placed my order. i can't wait. now i won't have a damn hand print on my passenger seat anymore. :D

OK I want to order, are they still time to order it at $109?? Do I just call that number and say I want to get in on the group buy?

I just ordered mine 20 minutes ago and was asked where I heard about it. I said Scionlife and then Chris mentioned the special deal.

I just ordered mine 20 minutes ago and was asked where I heard about it. I said Scionlife and then Chris mentioned the special deal.

yeah, thats what happened when i called. they asked if i was with Scion Life. The deal is still good. they are getting swamped with orders for these.

Thanks guys I just got off the phone with Chris and ordered mine. Just told him that I was a member of Scionlife and he knew right away and took my info and it was a done deal!! The only thing is that my girlfriend paid for it for Christmas so I can't put it in until then! She told me not to buy anything else so she would have something to buy for me. But that's cool with me, I saved her some money anyway.

thanks for the heads up. ordered one for my girl's xA.

Wonder how many orders that is so far?

wow, these guys seem cool to mention the deal to people :)

just ordered mine...Chirs is a supper great guy. he said that he has been overwhelmed with the amount of orders he has received. he said that he has not been counting but he feels that he has had over 20 calls on this...KEEP CALLING...this price will not last nor be repeated. well that is what he said!

Just ordered mine, Chris said he probably send it out tomorrow or the lastest is Monday cuz the holiday is coming up.

I GOT MINE TOO!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

just ordered mine through chris,nice guy

how does it work with the emergency break? Does it fold up or do you have work your way around it??

Sounds like that soon *not* having an armrest will be a cool mod. :D

NOT :twisted:

Just called Chris 4:40 Pac Time. Will ship on monday. He said they are selling like hotcakes. : Scionron

I just ordered the Scion xB armrest and Chris was really cool. I am going to email him some pictures of bB accessories from Japan. He might make them here.

He gave me the 109 + 11 bucks shipping.

3 year warranty.

Scionara,
J.D.

Check out my scionara site:
http://www.cafepress.com/scionara

that armrest looks killer. i think it will match good with my black interior. but wondering since i'm night owl. is this deal still good when i try to call tomorrow? looking at these posts they must of sold like 50 already.

how does it work with the emergency break? Does it fold up or do you have work your way around it??


good question.. :?: :?: :!:

Just ordered two, one for my xb and one for my sister's xa. Rhonda told me that all she did was answer the phone yesterday...that's how busy they were :)
I still got it at the group discount. The order will go out first of next week.
......can't wait!! :lol:

I just sent an email order in. I like this idea more than having to cut and drill my seat. Also, since I'm considering a seat change, it appears this aremrest will still be functional...

That's pretty cool!

I think the most successful armrst designs are those that don't require cutting, etc.

Can't wait to read someone's review... :D

I literally just hung up with Chris after ordering my new arm rest - he said the discount would last till the end of today period. So if your teetering you better fall one way or the other :)

Peace

I just ordered mine!!! WOooHOooo!!!

Just ordered one...

Very friendly people..

alright..the website still doesnt work for me..sombody post the number and "correct'? link..thanks

Just got off the phone with Chris.

888-521-6372

The correct link is http://www.scionarmrest.com/home.html

I can't *wait* to try it out! That's one of the few things the xB lacks that I miss from my truck.

Just ordered mine. Such nice people.

Ordered mine today also, very nice people. It's shipping on monday and they say I'll have it next week. Can't wait.

Just ordered mine. I was undecided, but decided to go for it. Glad I did, as I just saw the above post the the group buy ends today.

Whats really funny is that this armrest is also on ebay. I almost bought it over the weekend. Glad I waited a few days. Saved a few bucks.

Actually the armrest you are referring to on ebay is not the same. It is a product made by TAG Accessories. Do not be fooled as it is not anywhere close to the quality of our Boomerang Armrest. I beileve it is manufactured out of vacuum formed polystyrene that is rivited togther and has vinyl laminated to the outside. It does not bolt in (bad news in an accident) and if it something breaks, such as the lid, the whole unit has to be replaced. (Because it is rivited together, not screwed or bolted). Please feel free to contact me if you need any other info on the Boomerang Armrest and the differences between it and our competitors.

Thanks,

Hey Chris,

My bad, I thought they were the same.

I can't wait till it comes in. If it looks half as nice in person as it does in the pics it'll rock.

Thanks for the extended group buy. The box is getting a nice xmas present.

yeeee...fuji ordered his...yee..ill see if the play station 2 mini fits..if not..it can be my inverter holder or cd holder..im tired of moving my cd case back and forth..this is the best idea ever..lOl

props to boomerang.

inverter holder was my initial thought!

I count 27 on here who posted that they had just bought one. When I spoke with Chris he said they were *swamped,* so I'm betting there were many more than that. Very cool! Can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on mine. :D

made a call this afternoon. chris was real cool. and placed my order in for the same price. he said it will be shipped out on monday. can't wait. he mentioned the website was officially suppose to be announced next week but somehow word got out.

^^^^thats our job ^^^

Someone buy me one! :D

How exactly does it mount?

It looks like it just drops in the cup holder and part of it goes into that small slinder space on the center console for more support. I don't belive it's bolted down, but Chris could explain it better.

he told me that the screw that is in the rear cup holder gets taken out then a new longer screw goes in its place to secure it down and a few little anchors on the bottom that get tucked under the carpet. 5 minute job he said

Ordered mine on Tuesday.
Can't wait for it to arrive.
That was the first thing I noticed lacking in the xB was no armrest.

he told me that the screw that is in the rear cup holder gets taken out then a new longer screw goes in its place to secure it down and a few little anchors on the bottom that get tucked under the carpet. 5 minute job he said
Yep exactly what he told me too. He said it was way more secure/solid than the "other" ones.

anyone get theirs yet?

not yet...i think he said he was going to ship monday?

ohh so thats today, or next week monday??? so maybe by the end of the week

Hey i had a jeep cherokee before my xB and there were no cup holders in the the car. I am not about to give up one of the cup holders just for storage to put CD's in it. It's not worth it.

You still have the 2 in the front. The rear cup[ holder is actually pretty useless. If you look at it, it isn't very convenient for anyone in the back seat.

Has anyone gotten theirs yet????? I want some feedback!


Thanks!

You still have the 2 in the front. The rear cup[ holder is actually pretty useless. If you look at it, it isn't very convenient for anyone in the back seat.

Yeah I agree. I don't think the rear cup holder even is a cup holder. It doesn't even look like one. Plus you still have those other 2 in the front.

To be honest, none of the cup holders are that great. Regular sized drinks slosh around in the front ones, and the rear one is so big and shallow that drinks actually fall out of it. I don't mind sacrificing my "crater" in the back of the console for a nice armrest/storage unit.

You got it :D

is that a cup holder in the rear? i thought it was for my car freshner..hahah

They still have not charged my debit card yet. :? Do you think that we bum-rushed them to soon with to many orders? :shock:

Is the special price still in effect??? If it is I might buy one by the end of this week... :wink: :D

Has ANYONE gotten one of these yet???? If so, how do you like it????

They haven't charged my card either, however they did promise it would be shipped on monday, which was yesterday, so we'll see. :-)

ikhonlord, I do not believe the special price is still in effect, however, they only charge $11 shipping, so if it came down to it, you'd only be paying $141 instead of $120.

It's probably some dude and his wife working all night for the last 5 days trying to get these out the door. You all have ruined their thanksgiving. I hope you're happy!!!

;-)

they haven't charged mine either. maybe we did bum-rush them with too many orders. i hope they still shipped everything out monday.

i agree with MUNCH person ... if they havent charged our cards yet they have not shipped our armrest!

i hope they have good excuse for that becuse if not that is just going to hurt their reputation!

I order my on wednesday i think and they told me it will ship monday ... and was told there is no S&H fee ... just plat $109! I hope they not going to charge me now for shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have a JDM center armrest and like it very much but one thing that I have notice, that with a center armrest that doesn't fold up is that it's very hard to reach the glove box or under the passenger seat. Just thought I might bring this up for some of you. Overall, I love my armrest.

Good Luck guys!

seriously. If they make these then there's no way they had enough man. ahead of time and if they just resale them, then I'd bet they need to order more. We generated a firestorm of buying when this was posted on the site and it sounds like maybe the communication there wasn't good at the start so they may have unknowingly over sold their stock. Give them a chance to catch up.

but the first ones should already be sent, maybe they didn't get them when they were supppose to.

I talked to Chris on I think last Wed and he told me that it shipped that morning so mine should be here today or tomorrow I would imagine.

Sweeeeeeet..glad I got mine!!!!!!

got yours already?

no just waiting I was happy about the price!!!!

I'm sure if you call Chris and tell him you want the armrest for $109 he wouldnt refuse the offer. I am sure there not losing any money by selling it at that price.

BTW,,,,,,This is my first post :D

We also offer a 36 month warranty on this product.

:shock: That's pretty cool.

so, Chris, do you make them or resale them?

My company Boomerang designed and manufactures this armrest. We spent several months engineering, prototyping and and building the tooling for it. It is actually made up of 6 seperate injection molded parts. This is why it fits so well and the quality and look is OE. I am excited for you guys to all receive yours! You will love them!

Chris

When will the current orders get filled? If I do order, when can I expect mine to be shipped?

cool, so you can kick them out pretty quick!

Just spoke to Ronda and she said that all the Scionlife armrests went out UPS Ground. :D

I will be busy with the Xb this week then. The spoiler and door sills arrived yesterday and today, still have to lubricate the moon covers, then the armrest when that comes.

I am still waiting for mine, hoping it did not get lost somewhere because I received my receipt but no armrest still :(

The boomerang site is all screwed up I tried from three different ISP's and they all tell me I am not authorized :lol: I think its time for you guys to find a new hosting provider ;)

I am going go give them a call tomorrow and try aee whats up, mine was supposedly shipped a day before everyone elses the day after I first called so hopefully soon :?:

I bought it while in Japan a few months back. It was a little low for me but have since made a new platform and it works great now. Most of the aftermarket armrest I have seen have been to low for our xB/xA's.

I had a few shipped over from Japan and sold them on eBay. To my surprise, they sold for over $200.00.

hmm.. I'm startin' to get a little worried.. my card still hasn't been charged.. and no sign of an armrest.

My armrest arrived from Boomerang about an hour ago. It looks to be really nice quality based on my first glance at it. Great service as far as I'm concerned.

According to my tracking number I should have mine tomorrow morning...

Finally a armrest :) Now I will not look like I am feeling up my passenger seat while driving anymore :lol: :lol: :lol:

hmm.. I didn't get a tracking number either.. wtf..

I just called to get my tracking number.. you guys let me know how you like them lol. I won't be seeing mine until the 7th.

Mine's will come on the 7th too. :(

MILKTRUCK ... when did yuo order yours????

i did wednesday before thanksgiving

Ordered mine on the same day, but it didn't ship until Tuesday of this week, and I live in S. Fla. Go figure lol.

oh, and i am in orlando ... little north of you so might get it just before you do :P

MILKTRUCK ... when did yuo order yours????

i did wednesday before thanksgiving

I ordered mine on Weds. too. I will double-check my original post, but I am almost certain. :? Yup...I just checked and it was Weds.

hmm.. I'm startin' to get a little worried.. my card still hasn't been charged.. and no sign of an armrest.


I see I am not the only one. For the people that got their armrests did your credit card get charged???


Later

:shock: Someone HAS to post a picture! :lol: All this talk has me stoked to buy one but I want to SEE it first! :D PLEASE post some pics! :)

I'm not sure if they hit my credit card yet or not....the bank server is offline so I can't check. All I know is that I have my armrest. :D

Here are some pics of our armrest.

Looks good. Someone hurry up and give us install details/pics!

Off topic--boogdaddy: your sig is hilarious!

Mine's will come on the 7th too. :(
It's because we are on the eastcoast. I should be getting mine around the 7th also.

I just called Chris and got the confirmation numbers from ups. It should arrive here by tomorrow on-time. My credit is not charged yet but it will be, that's kinda weird. I told Chris if he doesn't to charge my credit card then it's alright with me lol. I'll give the feedback after the installation tomorrow.

Mine just arrived. Looks great! I'll have it at Scion EXPOSED here in Austin on Saturday. Look for a TCM xB.

Mike

that armrest fits nice but looks out of place in our interior.

Great fit. I think the quality is even better than I anticipated. It is dark here so I just set it in place. Instructions seem straight-forward and excellent. Looks like a 5-minute install. I sat down in the driver's seat and rested my arm on it. The location is perfect and exactly the same as where my left arm rests on the door armrest.

I'll get pics in the morning.

Mike

dang mine will not get here until the 6th......... I am not patient!LOL

The money was yanked out of my account last night.........so I know it's any time now!!

They took the money out today...Dang I thought it was going to be Christmas present. :lol:

Got mine yesterday, looks very good quality and I can take any pics you guys want before I install it just ask.. My only concern is I am not sure what the actual armrest part you put your arm on it made out of, at first I thought I smelt leather, then I thought it was vinyl and looking at it in the light today it looks like it may not even be covered but just some type of rubber? The only thing that would be wrong with that is if you use it alot ot could start to wear but we will have to see.

Just got mine in @ work and overall the installation and materials look professional almost OEM.

However the actual armrest piece even though it is soft and durable, IMO it is not finished. It will need to be wrapped in leather to match the rest of my leather interior. There is room for modifing the base and/or internal storage compartment for more specific use, in my case to mount all my Varad LED contollers and some additional LED accent lighting for the console area and rear passenger footwell lighting.

I will post a new thread on the modified arm rest after getting it back from being wrapped and install/mods I will be doing...

I think I might have to order another one just to have on hand :wink:
Very nice piece http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QgAMA4wTRYuA4nvVX5LSqWd2H5UNA5BtMvg82l4nWfsCYsg9MXWxnfhWVSzO4IkrhsjKx6Uk7!tvdwouKk7p7GvQmc0*wJQZ4goGQRo8ZCc/halm.gif?dc=4675499974687331681props to Bomerang Enterprises. Maybe with additional feedback they might offer optional leather?

alright, i just put mine in. it looks great and is in the perfect location, and is a great fit. it took about 5 minutes to install. very simple straight-forward instructions. this is by far the best mod i have done to my xB. now it is actually comfortable to drive. well worth the money. i would even sell it to my customers who come in complaining of the lack of armrest in these cars.

i don't exactly know what the material is that makes the actual armrest though. as stated above, it might show some wear over time. although it does look easy enough to cover with some sort of fabric. overall i am very satisfied. two thumbs up!! :D

Right after I installed mine a friend of mine pulled up in his Echo... If he'd gotten here a few minutes earlier I would have tested it in his too...

It looks like it should fit. Hey, Boomerang... Have you considered this part of the market? Echos need love too. :lol:

Just got mine like 1/2 hr ago, perfect fit, no complaint at all. I'll buy again if I have to. The best armrest out there for the price and the material, even at $129 it's still good. That's all I can say about it right now, so happy :lol:

could they be hacked up to fit a ps 2 in there?

I don't think the ps2 will fit in it. As you can see the cd case is like 6x6x2 inches, the whole dimension inside is like 7x7x3 so you can figure it out. It's a very nice armrest man. I think you should put ps2 under the front seats. Later

YEAH!! Just got mine tonight! Saw the package sitting on the door step when I got home, knew exactly what it was, hehe.


I must say, this thing kicks ___!

damn and I am just passing time waiting for mine........... :twisted:

Don't feel bad...your not alone. :(

Anybody going to post some pics with it in your own ride?I saw the pics from Boomarang,but just wanted a couple different angles of it.Is it wide enough so you and a passenger can both rest your arms on it?I am seriously thinking about asking Santa for it for X-Mas :D

Yes, it's wide enough for two. The armrest in a theater is pretty small but we somehow find a way to share it :wink: We all should input our reviews for those who have the armrest already.

Mine got here Friday night. It took me all of 15 minutes to put it in. The hardest part was getting the carpet lifted around the foot braces. Once in, it's really nice. The color matches up with the interior color really well.

Only thing I noticed is that there is nothing securing the front bottom of the armrest. When my 2 year old opened it up, the top flipped back and the front raised up a second then settled back down. I have a feeling it isn't good for the plastic around the screw to be flexing like this. It only lifted a tiny bit, I'm just thinking about the long term effects. I'm thinking about putting some 3M adhesive strips to try to secure it a bit better. A stopper on the hinge would be nice, and would stop it from flipping back and causing this. Of course, with it's flipped all the way open, it can be used as a small tray for the back passengers.

It's a really nice unit, and looks very OEM. I'm glad I waited until this one was available. This is what Toyota should've included from the factory.

you can see some pics at http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2134586345

hope this helps a bit

i didn't find that it would flex back when the top was flipped open. it is actually very secure in the front even though nothing is actually holding it down.

I put mine in yesterday. The unit is very nice, but you do have to be careful not to fully open it. I don't think it would cause any real problems, and the seats kind of squeeze against it to keep it from happening. The hardest part of the install is sliding the stabilizers all the way back to where they are supposed to go. Also, it seems that the metal retainer for the parking brake cable could potentially get caught on the passenger side stabilizer. I guess as long as the light on the dash isn't lit its ok. Does anyone know if for sure the "brake" light on the dash is off the actually parking brake is completely disengaged?

Finally, don't try to install it without the stabilizers. I did this first, and the screw is to long without them. I bored a small hole in whatever is underneath the metal hump in the middle of the car. It looks like its just metal from the floor of the car, but as the screw went in I heard a cracking noise. Probably just the white plastic the old screw went it to breaking as this screw is of a larger diameter. Don't know for sure, but everything seems to be o.k. Overall this the best armrest for the Scion that I've seen by far.

I can't wait till mine gets here this week 8)

Ok I took some pics of it and some shots to better show all the areas I think most people were concern on mounting and/or clearance issues...

One thing I noticed to comfortably set the emergency brake you have to reach around and pull up from the passenger side seat, shifting is no problem either. When I get the top redone in leather I think I will add additonal 1" of foam to better fit me, other than that boomerang has a winner IMO :D

Sweet 8) Nice pics.

nice...I can't wait......BTW those seats are sweeeeet

i'm sorry but that armrest looks cheap and doesnt fit in with any interior fabric/material. maybe it's just me.

Hotbox05,

Nevermind the armrest....how the hell do you have over 1500 posts in under 3 months? :shock: I can't imagine anyone having THAT much to say. :wink:

well for two of the three months i had no job so talking about scions was all i did. and for the last month hating my ____ty jobs and retarded hours brings me to this places every night/day after or b4 dreaded work. id say about85% of my posts are good useful posts so i am trying to raise that percentage . i need to stop posting in off topic and stop all the stupid short posts that i have done. othen than that IT ALL BOILS DOWN to me not having a life. well that and my somewhatly vast automotive knowledge

IMO it is by far the best that I have seen for cost and installation.

I agree that the top should have been done in leather, maybe you can afford this armrest I was looking at?

It was only $369 plus shipping and handling, plus you would have to modify it to fit the Scion :wink:


http://www.ttstuff.com/images/armrest/armrest_cup_540.jpg

That armrest is kind of smooth :D

I was *this* close to ordering that armrest for my TT but traded it before I spent that much money. The only thing I really hated about the TT, except for prodigious torque steer when the turbo caught up, was the lack of an armrest. :?

That's really to much loot for a car and not have a armrest. :shock: The flip side is I love the TT w/ the baseball glove stitched leather seats.

I just checked my tracking and it seems my armrest might come a day early. :D

My came today ... and i placed order on wednesday before thanksgiving.

and also they (the laday, maybr Rhanda?) told me NO SHIPPING fee but they did charged me $11 for it!!!!!!!!

anyway, the top/robber dont feel good and looks like it will wear out but still better then nothing!!!

Mine should be here tomorrow and then it's off to the interior shop with the rest of the car to get recovered.

My armrest was waiting for me when I got home today. I installed it in 20 minutes before dinner. I'm happy with it, but some time down the road may have the top recovered if I get a leather interior kit from Katzskin.

got mine tonight,took me 10-min to install ,love it ,looks factory,made well--good job boomerang-----thanks chris

Still waiting for mine... I think people that ordered after me are getting theirs already lol.. Oh well.

Looks cheaply, made, but better than nothing.

cheap or not. its what i always wanted for my xb..besides rims and everything else. imma love the armrest like nothing else. if you dont like the finish just modd it, customize it, accesrirze it.

I just saw this one. I like how you can decide what type of cover you want.

Looks cheaply, made, but better than nothing.

I disagree with that statement. I don't think there's anything cheap looking about it. The armrest looks factory all around and especially when looking at it from the back seat. The armrest looks like it is meant to be there and isn't some rigged up afterthought armrest with nasty exposed metal brackets in plain site of the backseat passengers.

I'm tall and ride with the seat all the way back and this armrest gives me perfect support and comfort. Totally sweet!

I got mine last night. To me it looks very OEM. I had a long conversation about the pros and cons of design w/ Chris last night (He called me for feedback). **Keep this on the down low** but he said that they will be releasing a leather option really soon. :D I am still rocking the standard Hot Lava interior in my XB so that's not a priority for me, but definately for the future. In my opinion the quality of the armrest and customer service is worth my future business. "nuff said"

i got my yesterday and was looking at install info and it said that we have to lift up carpet up to put those stabilizers (sp?) .... but thats not going to look pretty to see carpet sticking out!!!

do anyone has picture with their armrest in and carpet up???
please do share if you do!
Agnieszka

I **Keep this on the down low** but he said that they will be releasing a leather option really soon. :D

wrong place to keep it on the down low if you post it. :wink:

I received a call from Chris last time. Kind of funny the way it started off:

"Hi, this is Chris from Boomerang"

Me : "Hey, how are you?"

"Good. What is your screen name of Scion Life?"

Me: "Laughing...Pile of monkey crap.: :oops:

He called to ask my opinion of the armrest and how the installation process was. Chris asked if the instructions were clear. I said that if the stabilizers were marked "left" and "right" I would've saved 5 minutes. But that was it.

My wife is impressed with how sturdy the armrest is and that it doesn't budge or wiggle at all.

Great mod! 8)

I want mine :-(

I know the intructions tell you to put the stabilizers under the carpet,but i left them on top ,looks better ,and still just as sturdy.

That's what I did with mine too. It doesn't look good with the carpet up in my opinion.

Just got mine. Installed it in about 5 minutes, and yeah I left the stabilizers on top of the carpet, it looked tacky with the carpet sticking up, and with the set screw in there it's not going anywhere anyway. My opinion - it looks OEM, feels great, installs easy, has good storage, and a decent price. Good job Boomerang!

Word! This thing is by far one of the best armrests I have seen in person. It was a little hard to tell what the exact quality was going to be by looking at the pictures on the site, but after receiving one and installing it (in less than 5 minutes) I would recommend this bad boy to anyone looking to buy an armrest.

The only thing I had to get used to was having to reach around the top a little to get to the e-brake, but it's just second nature now only after a week, hehe.

I got mine last night and put it in my car in about 10 minutes. Loving not having my arm hanging. It's perfect IMO 8)

Just got off the phone with Chris a few min ago. He is a great guy, explained to me all about the development of their products and such, pretty much reassured me that nothing will wear out on this armrest, which is what I expected from looking at it when I received it.

All I can say is that it's a great quality product. The molded plastic and the way the texture and fit match the interior, the padded rubber is molded and although some of you think it looks cheap, it isn't, and won't wear out. I think Boomerang has done an excellent job on this, the way it fits in the car and provides proper support while giiving you storage and looking OEM while being extremely affordable is a huge plus. Boomerang knows what they're doing, I can't say enough about this armrest, it's the one thing these cars are missing from the factory and these guys do a GREAT job at making a quality product.

this looks alot better to me.

Ack!

I just got home from a vacation to LA, and found my armrest waiting for me. I just opened it up, and I think I'm missing one of the console stabilizers--that's the black triangular thingy right? I only got one :(

I installed mine yesterday, I didn't realize that it would make the console sit a little higher than it used to so I kept tightening the screw until the front of the console popped up! After a trip to the parts department to replace one of the front mounting clips ($.83) that worked it way under the shifter, it fits and looks great!! Whoever said that it's looks cheap and doesn't match the interior is nuts. The plastic is a perfect match and the rubber pad looks and feels just like the rubber on the automatic gear shift knob. The change holder is the perfect size to hold my cell phone when I'm not on it and the cd case sure beats the visor mounted one that I used to use. The instructions were a little vague, but overall it's a great product!!!

I just installed mine in about 10 min...It is all that.....It meets all my expectations...thanks Boomerang! :D :D :D

Good news:

After I posted my message about missing one of the console stabilizers, Chris called me last night at about 9:00 PM Eastern, and let me know he was heading to UPS to try to overnight me another stabilizer.

At about 9:20 or so, he called again to let me know that he got to UPS before the overnighting cutoff time and that I'd have it this morning.

Since UPS is slow to get to my complex, I had to leave for work before they got there, but I should have my armrest installed tonight.

Now, that's what I call customer service!

he called me TWICE because of issues i had and thats nice!!! i guess thats how you gain good reputation too!!!!


I did install my yesterday (yes, me, woman who knows nothing about cars DID IT!!!) and i did put stabilizers UNDER the carpet and onces you move seats back you cant tell that carpet is up.
or i guess if it really bothers yuo so much cut the carpet under the base with utility knife and nobody will know!!!! it will look like its standing on carpet ........ but again seat is covering after moved back.!

Finally installed mine last night. The only problem is getting those damn support feet under the carpet. I think that's why many people opted to leave them on top. The one thing that I might install is a strap from the lid to the base to keep the lid from flopping back so hard. :shock:

i don't seem to have that problem with mine. the seats seem to stop it from flopping back. they hit the armrest at just the right point and stop it. i dunno, maybe i installed it wrong. :?

Installed mine yesterday.
Took all of about 15 minutes. Glad to see I wasn't the only one to have trouble with getting the stablizers under the carpet. I have one under and one out. All tightened down doesn't move. Looks great.

Thanks Chris!

I think the trick to making the stablizer install a little easier is toplace them under the carpet before sliding them on the base. Get the carpet lifted out of the wayand set the stabilzers forward toward where the carpet is cut in a straight line. Place the armrest in place and then slide the stabilizers on to the flange part.

Worked easier for me that way.

Yeah but, if your elbow touches it when your trying to reach in it...FLOP!!! :shock: That's the only time that I feel like something is going to break.

hmmmm.... i've never noticed that. i'll have to check that out. i don't go in it much either though. i don't change cd's that often and that's all that i have in there at the moment.

A great upgrade would be a bracket that slid into the the base from the lid with a t- bar catch

Yup...that would be great. I honestly haven't used my XB this week. I just went out the other day to install the armrest because I was tired of looking at the box in the kitchen. :shock: This weekend is my Birthday so I will clean it up a bit and go out with my wife on Sat. Sunday I have a Club meet so some of my peeps can check the armrest out.

Now you post this. :( :roll:

Unscreew yours and reinstall it with the stabilizers under the carpet. Should take your 10 minutes to do that and then you're done.

I sat on the side lines to see how this went. This one seems good.


Do you think we will have another group buy option on these soon? I may order a different on, the $129 is steep, plus shipping makes it really steep.

Got mine via UPS today, the one from eBay, that is.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7940007647

The quality is amazing, looks very stock.

Install took about two minutes and 1:30 of that was taking it out of the box.

Color matching seems to be good, but I was putting it in at dusk.

Very sturdy, even without any screws. I did not apply the sticky stuff which comes with it.

The interior space is not great, but enough for me. I doubt it will hold a couple cd cases, but that is not needed with my iPod having its own spot.

I have an auto, but reaching the brake would not be an issue.

It seems to sit a little low, but it's the same height as the armrest in the door, so maybe I am just tall.

I am very happy with it. I'll try to grab some pics sometime tomorrow.
