I'm sure I'm not the only xB owner who misses having an Armrest... Is there any sort of aftermarket option to add one for the driver, or perhaps a middle console that could also double as an armrest?

(Please accept my apologies as a newbie to the site if this has been discussed before, or if this is in the wrong place. I only found this site a week ago as I was researching the xB, and am now a proud owner.)

Word of caution, I have heard bad things about the new Boomerang one. This is just from what i have read.
It has something to do with the rubber it starts turning chalky if not already that why when u get it.

Just my $.02 not knocking any ones products here.

Great! Thanks for taking it easy on the rookie.

 

no prob bud...glad i can help.

 

I have the Zeta armrest too and like the fact that you can swing it up and out of the way if need be.

 

I have the Boomerang and I am pleased with it. The chalky white goes away with a quick swipe of vinyl protectant

 

coo coo but i'v seen the instal its only 1 screw right how srtong is that?? zeta has the 2 steel batters with the 2 or 4 screws to hold it up right it is realy strong IMO how about yours???

 

True, you can fix the chalky problem with some Armor-All. No problem. Or Boomerang also sells a leather armrest too. It's the same as the org one but with a leather top. Here's mine I love! Lot's of space and it looks and fits factory.

My Boomerang armrest is very solid and strong. I've had no problems with mine at all. That "one" screw replaces the screw that holds the console in. It screws into the bottom metal floor pan. Plus it's also supported by 2 console stabilizers at the bottom.

Here's the Zeta Armrest:

Storage One:

And the Boomerang Armrest:


Which one looks better to you?

 

I agree ... i have one and i love it!!
I have leather top AND i needed to me higher then standard and they DID just what i asked for :-)
only one screw but no drilling in to console and it stands strong.

 

I have the new second generation Zeta.
It has a storage compartment, its height adjustable, its easy to install ( no drilling or modification) and its strong.
I have heard that the Boomerang will warp your center console if you actually lean on your armrest (which I do).

 

I won't warp the console at all. I've had before it actually came out and mine hasn't at all.

 

I was just going off what Mikochu said in his install guide.
He's had both.

I guess it reall comes down to what it most important to you. Do you use the rear drink holder? Do you have a 5 speed? Do you use the center storage areas? Do you need one that folds out of the way? Do you need one that is adjustable?

 

Yeah that's very true. I've never used my rear cup holder or even needed the armrest to fold-up. Plus I have an auto too. Different mods for different people I guess.

 

i like the boomarang one, i like all the storage, and i think it looks nicer

 

I like the one I got... Ebay for 100 bucks shipped.

 

i have the boomerang and i think its great... very OEM look to it...

 

I'm liking my JDM one. Has storage and cup holders in the rear.
