No it was not too hard to install myself I just wanted all of my options installed and put on my initial cost so I could afford them. If you are going to criticise people who do not think like you do and act like an immature baby, you need to find another club to join

i'm not sure if jessman360 was trying to be insulting or not, but that same question came to mind -- I am wondering if I will be able to install it myself or if I should just let the dealer do it. is it bolted on (ie - cut and drill into the seat, etc)?
anyone have specifics? i haven't actually searched for this -- i just became interested as I saw this post.

I have one and I love it. I installed it myself and it was pretty easy. If you order one, make sure you ask about the leather top. They might be putting that on them now as standard, but I had to order mine extra. It's WAY nicer that the standard rubber top mine came with.

The Boomerang armrest is good. It's a quality product. I wouldn't recommend it to those with manual transmissions, though...It can easily get in the way.
Here is my DIY install:

I have the 5-speed and it works fine. When I very first installed it, I felt like my arm was at a strange angle to shift. That was only because I was used to no armrest and I had my elbow much lower. After I installed the Boomerang, I got used to it in no time. It's very comfortable. I still think it looks the most like an OEM part.

I'm not looking to join any clubs. If you're gonna get really mad at something that sounds even remotely insulting, then maybe YOU should just stay from EVERY message board on the internet period.

oh, my bad. I meant to say I don't recommend it to those with the TWM short shifter...like me! It felt like digging in a trashcan and not being able to reach your sister's retainer at the bottom of the can....

I guess I must be a retard or something, because I installed mine just as they told me too and the boomerang ends up wobbling around all the time...I had to sand down one of the supports because it interferred with the e-brake....oh well....kinda annoying, anyone else have this problem? I was thinking about doing a quick fix and drilling another hole and putting another bolt in....let me know...
