JC Whitney: arm-rest
In regards to an aftermarket arm-rest...
I mesured the dimension in the xB and I think this will fit.
go to:
http://www.jcwhitney.com
Search on SKU# SF135858A
Details:
PADDED AND UPHOLSTERED CENTER ARMREST/STORAGE CONSOLE
Slips easily between your seats (needs 5" or wider space)
Sturdy metal legs can be adjusted up to 6" apart and fit securely over OE console with sloped sides
Won't interfere with brake lever, gear shift or seat belt operation
The grained vinyl upholstery comes in black or gray and is double-stitched for strength. Hinged lid covers 3-3/4"W x 9-1/4"L x 3-1/4"D compartment for your tapes, sunglasses, change, etc. Adjustable forward and backward to the position best for you.
PRICE: $40

There are three or four armrests out there for the xB right now. JJ products, Zeta etc.. They have all gotten good reviews. I have the JJ Products one and love it. The JC Whitney one does not work well. I got it around five months ago to play around with it and it would need some major modifications just to get it to fit and even then the emergency brake would be a real pain in the ___. I could be wrong, but I think folks have abandoned this one as a cost effective alternative.

damn minsk, you're promoting that thing like crazy, haha 
must really like that JJ armrest.
FYI: there are 5 armrests out there. (this jc whitney one doesn't count unless randy makes something out of it )
Zeta, JJ Products, Wood Company (QualityAutoInteriors), eBay (1/2" plastic drop in), and mine. There were about 3-4 companies that tried and gave up on it. Zeta and Wood Company are vinyl/pleather trimmed, dunno if it matches well since there's no leather in these. The JJ products one looks the cleanest if you don't mind cutting your seats and don't mind not having storage. The eBay one and mine are "homemade" ones. eBay uses 1/2" abs plastic welded together and has a small storage unit w/ padded top. Not very clean looking, but I give the guy props, he was the first one with an armrest out. :D
