That is a nice armrest.

Most armrests don't look like the other materials in the car. They would become nasty looking quickly if they were. I've never owned a vehicle that had an armrest that had the same covering as any other part of the interior.

It is not factory, but the pics of it don't look too bad. Don't know if I want to spend that much though. I do use the rear cup holder sometimes, and it sits so close to the seat belt latch, I wonder if it makes it hard to buckle and un-buckle the seatbelt. Antway, I thoughth I'd pass the info on. When I called them the company said the product would be available for shipment on 11/29/04.

I gave them a ring and they are a really nice bunch of people.. All the info I have now it there is NO DRILLING or cutting up of your seats it screws into the same hole where the rear cupholder is.

One of the coolest things I think is the cd case that comes with it, pretty smooth IMHO I hate leaving my case wide open for everyone to see when I am parked.

Exactly! How much is it?

I would have liked to have seen the same material as the inserts on the seats & doorpanels on the armrests, but it does seem like a nice design so far.

Yeah but $130 is really not that bad look what they are charging for some of the others and they look like ____.

I am hoping to get a group buy price for all of us if I can get people interest but I will get one regardless just to see how good the quality is.

My biggest thing is it looks pretty good (compared to the others we have been dealing with) it is functional (has storage and most of all I don't have to go cutting away at my box to install it.

Ok I just got off the phone with Chris and they are going to offer a 2 week special for $109.00 + S/H to the first 10 people who order.

What you can do is call 303-447-0902 tell them you are ordering for the group buy and they are shipping right away! so we dont have to wait till everyone is in before they ship.

I am ordering mine tonight so there are only 9 left.. I will leave a review as soon as I get it to let you guys know what I think.

Just got off the phone with Chris, the company President, and was very impressed. They have spent about a year on the design and prototype leading up to now being ready to finally ship. Apparently they have been showing them (to get feedback during the design process) in Denver-area Scion showrooms.

They also make oem products for Land Rover.

He said he would definitely have one in my hands for the 12/04 Scion Exposed gathering in Austin, TX if anyone coming wants to see it there.

Yes Chris is a really nice guy, it is not that often you you get such personal service from a company. I already placed my order and he said it should ship tomorrow so it should be here in a few days I would think, once I get it I will give you guys a full walkthrough with pictures on the install and let you know how it holds up.
