I'm so giddy to finally have... an armrest!! Ordered it on June 24, almost a week ago, and it arrived today. I skipped class 1hr in to it to install the sucker :D Also had my dog "help" me with installing it.

Oh, did I mention its the iST armrest straight from Japan?



Yes I have a first aid kit under the passenger seat if you're wondering. I had my dog with me because she was being an annoyance in the house because 1) she couldn't see me, 2) I was in the car without her, 3) she missed me!

Also, it is a bit strange to pull the e-brake with this armrest there now, but its not horrible. It was a super easy install that only required a screwdriver. So happy

 

congrats on your "ist" part. LOL. now you see why i go cuckoo's for jdm oem stuff.

 

I'm more happy about the fact that I have more storage and a place to rest my arm lol. Tomorrow I'll be driving and able to test it out since I didn't go anywhere after I installed it today.

 

Where did you get it from?

 

Chels any chance there's a toyota part number on it anywhere? It'll be in this format: #####-#####

Looks good. What'd it run you after shipping and everything?

 

I got it off of eBay. As far as a part number I'll have to look for the install manual I have floating around my room somewhere. I think the total price was about... $220ish. Came here within a week as well which was much faster than expected seeing as how my bulbs from England took two weeks.

 

Ok if you could look into it that would be awesome! Thanks for the info, congrats as well.

 

Mine cost $205 total. $60 of that amount was shipping. Still, it got here really quickly, and I am thrilled with it.

 

This is the number I had seen on here awhile back:

08471-52330-BO

 

Thanks! Really appreciate it. I'm going to try and get it through the dealer where I know the Scion sales mgr. Hopefully he can pull some strings to let them order it.

 

Made the call. I'll have a price in a few days =] Hopefully it's decent x_x

 

Nice, keep us posted. Can he get anything in? That'd be sooooo sweet. I would SO buy the IST frontend.. even if it's like 1000 bucks, I don't care. I want it.

 

^^^ x2 and then get those body kits. ;)

 

Oh hell if I could get a body from Japan I would LOVE to get the special edition iST body kit they have. Looks much bedda than the stock one. Plus I'd love to get a hold of their headlamps instead.

 

LOL! I'll get pricing on everything... but please provide links to eBay or pictures at the least.

Has anyone done a full transplant on the body panels to know which are needed? The last thing you'd want is to order some items and miss a bracket that takes forever to get in, lol!

 

haven't heard of or seen any yet.

 

im curious, does the XD not come w/ an armrest?...

 

Not even an option for it...

 

how lame!

 

Yup. Very lame. When I got my car last year they said it was coming out in Fall, then Winter, then it disappeared from the website.
