My xA is due to arrive in four days, but I've already had the Boomerang armrest delivered to my house. I am impressed with the quality. It has a nicely padded top and the material on the pad feels alot like the 'rubbery' dashboard. It's a solid piece of equipment. I like the idea of the storage inside, too. They send a CD wallet with the armrest that is made specifically to fit the Boomerang.

If it sits tightly in the rear cup holder as Boomerang says it will, I'll feel like this has been a great investment. I'll post my impression when I've got it installed next week.

The Boomerang armrest has the most factory look and construction of any of the Scion armrests available. It is a completely injection molded unit. It does not interfere with the brake and mounts in the rear cup holder. It is extremely stable because we manufacture 2 ABS supports that simply slide onto the bottom of the factory center console. Where other armrests are only an armrest, ours includes much needed additional storage and comes with a 32 disc CD case that is custom built for the unit by Case Logic. We offer a 3 year warranty and 100% guaranteed satisfaction. Boomerang manufactures automotive accessories on an OE (original equipment) level for companies such as the Land Rover division of Ford Motor Company with armrests and other products. This is why we were able to engineer and develop a Scion armrest that we feel is superior to everything currently available. We are very excited about the enormous amount of positive response we have received from the Scion Life Community since we launched this product and know that everyone who purchases one of our armrests will agree that the Boomerang Armrest is "The Perfect Scion Armrest."

Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions. For more info you can also check out our web site at www.scionarmrest.com.

Thanks for you interest!

One is already going on, but I can seem to find it in the classified section. I forget where it is, but I know one is going on for sure already.

The first 20 get it for $110 I think and they've sold 15 or so already

Do you mean the Boomerang? If so, how sturdy does it feel? How well do you think it will hold up over time?

yes i am talking about the Boomerang.
it is real sturdy. it actually has two brackets on the bottom to go along with the screw on the bottom of the cup holder in the back. it is really nice. over time i think it will hold up very well. i am actually going to start selling it to my customers who have complained about no armrest. i think this one is the best buy out there for armrests. :D

Awesome. That's the kind of feedback I've been waiting to hear. I'm ordering one on Monday.

Very nice. It looks real good. I like how it doesn't look after-market.

Thanks for the info, Chris. I tell ya what....if you'd be willing to send me one (at no charge), I'd be happy to give it a full, non-biased review both on here, and on epinions.com. I would install it according to the provided instructions, and give it two weeks of real-world use before writting my reviews. Interested?[/quote]


MATT_A ... Boomerang sold way too many for you to "test it" and get it for free ... they been tested and many have them already.
Boomerang had group buy special for scion members about 2 or 3 months ago .... so they know their products is good :-)

So if you want to enjoy it then BUY one to know how it feels! :-)

LOL...yeah, this was an old thread that got dug up. I was just joking around. I bought one from Chris a while back and I love it. I also just bought and installed the new leather top for it. It is awesome.

Wow, that's cool that they did that for you. I'm surprised to hear you say it was too low. Most people think it's a tad high. I personally like it the way it comes.
