The cheapest I found so far is scionpartspeople.com. Are they any good to deal with or is there a better place to order from?

 

That is where I ordered a majority of my Scion Parts. The good thing is once you buy enough the shipping stays the same. I think the maximum they charge is about $40. I bought a ton of stuff there. It was cheaper than other places when the shipping was factored in. I think I bought

Floor Mats, Cargo Mats, LED lighting, Cargo Cover, Cargo Protector, Cargo Net, Door sill enhancement, OBX Pedals, OBX shifter, Fog lights, and Arm rest. No problem overall except the arm rest part was partially chipped - didn't affect the function and it wasn't visible.

 

The best place for an armrest is making your own from the 2 sets of plans on Scion Life. Plus it is the cheapest way to get one too.

scion dealer with the lowest prices ive seen from a dealer. ive bought the new heavyweight mats and the armrest for less than $120.

Depends on what you want. For the cheapest armrest, make your own. For the next cheapest armrest, I hear the one the dealer sells is really cheaply made :-(
I got the Zeta Generation 2 Storage Armrest, and it was not cheap. But it works so well and looks so good!!

I want to buy one also, but concerned how its going to look and the price. The cheap ones seem-cheap. I dont think im'm going to build one either.

 

i havent had any problems with the factory one(as of yet). there is no storage room that some of the others have, but i bought mine for the armrest. dont know why i didnt get it sooner.

 

How many of you have a stick?

 

I have a stick and the Toyota arm rest.

It's sturdy, doesn't get in the way, and is easy to install, but it's more of an elbow rest than an arm rest.

 

ordered the stock toyota one from sciopartspeople.com for $78 shipped. Can't justify fmore than $100.

 

I initially bot the factory armrest, but eventually got the Boomerang which has a little storage in it. Both need about an inch or two more height in my opinions, I'm doin the gangster lean when I rest my elbow on it. Any one modded their armrest to make it higher??

 

Yup. I selected a inch-thick piece of cherry wood and machined it to fit on top of my Bommerang armrest, and while I was at it, I made it about three inches longer so that it would still provide a resting place for my wife when she moves the seat forward. While I was at it, I made a matching cherry **** for the radio so that I could grip it better, especially with gloves on. I got TIRED of trying to turn up the volume and getting bass/treble/balance/... instead! When I get a Round Tuit, I'm going to make matching cherry armrests for the left and right doors and mabye cherry trim for the dash too . . . .

 

I think I got a box of Round Tuits here somewhere...

 

Slightl off topic, but does anybody have a spare plug from the screw hole in the back cup holder? I bought my car used and this piece was missing for some reason.

 

no one else is close

 

You can't go wrong with a Zeta Arm rest from PrecisionMuffler.com , and I have one in my box as well. I use all of my wieght on the armrest with no problems at all.

Buy it here:

the zeta with storage is $184 shipped from http://www.allscion.com/armrest.html

 

WOW, over a hundred bucks for something you can build yourself for under 30.

 

DETAILS, PLEASE!
