I've thought of building my own but want to know other options. I want an armrest for my xa, want to know which one you guys think is best and why. Take things like looks and functionality into consideration.

I bought mind from a vendor on ebay. It matches the interior in my xA nicely. It has a decent amount of storage and has a velco strap under the lid to secure my mp3 player. It was listed in the description as a factory second but i can't find any issues with the armrest.

 

I like the Zeta folding armrest. http://www.zetaproducts.net.

 

I have the Zeta Products Storage Armrest (with cupholder!). I like it a lot. It's very sturdy and matches with the interior well.

 

Agree with mikochu - get the cupholder for an extra $10 bucks for the drinkers in back. The armrest pretty much completely covers the rear cupholder.

 

I have a Zeta Armrest w/ storage and a TRD Short Shifter.

Do not buy the Zeta Armrest w/ storage if you have a 5 speed and you drive in stop and go traffic. The Armrest gets in the way and it will spend more time being folded away than being put to use. It is a slightly above average product if you have an automatic. The storage is a nice novelty but it will fit cigarette, change and other nick nacks. The arm rest is plasticy, squeaks, and flexes when pressure placed on it.

 

I got the dealer installed Toyota arm rest. In one word, Disapointing. Go aftermarket, you can get a storage bin inside, and better faberic on the outside. The only real advantage to the dealer armrest is that you can finance it into the car.

 

It's all about the Zeta baby!!!!!

 

Are any armrests good to use with a 5 speed?
