i like the fact that u don't have to modify anything for this one... only thing is..the color of the armrest? is it me or does it look gray? i wish it could be black so that it blends in with the seats...

Why the vinyl cover? There's no vinyl in this car anywhere.

I'm not sure if this is the same one but it's on another site. Color seems a better match.

This is the one I'm going with. I'll have the one of the first produced on Wed. It mounts much nicer than most. Do you really want to pull apart the seat/cover and bolt/weld a bracket to the internal frame of your seat?
The Zeta bracket installs in mintues...securing quite solidly to the seat tracks.
It's the best one I have foumd so far...and I've looked at them all. Returned some after looking closely at design and installation.

It lacks storage or a cup holder, which I liked on the Husco praoduct. Tha brackets may not look the best but easy to install and sturdy.

I'll post more when it gets here and is installed.

I don't think the armrest brackets look so bad as much as it being vinyl. That to me is dumb, there's no vinyl material in this car. If it matched the upholstery i would probably consider it.

:D Hi:

The Zeta armrest is covered in black vinyl, although the color appears gray.

Armrest is here and installed. No pics yet as I'm at work. The color matches interior very nicely. The vinyl is high quality and textured. It looks nice and will hold up well. After all your arm will be resting on it alot now. The cloth on Scion door panel is a oncern for me as it seems very thin. Wondering how long that will hold up.

The install is the best thing going for the Zeta armrest. It seriously took less than 10 minutes. They have designed a solid mounting method that will impress. The brackets are nicely textured and black to add a nice contrast with the armrest and overall interior.

For cost, function and overall quality...you can't go wrong.
