Default Question for Hot Lava owners...

Has anyone put a center console in a Hot Lava? Any opinions on which one would match the interior best?

Thanks

I am looking at getting one, but I haven't found one that would match very well. I think what I am going to do is just uninstall before shows.

Well there are three of us on the forums, myself included, who got our hands on the iST center console. There are a few others who have gone with the ZETA armrest. There are some threads on both in this same subforum.

I'm debating on which one... Thinking the iST would be the way to go... But not sure yet.

Go with the Ist! It looks amazing--like it has always been there.

The boomerang one looks very cheap and low quality in my opinion. ZETA looks better than Boomerang :? Still, the iST is the best out there if you're willing to spend the money on eBay to pick one up.

just got my armrest in today at 1:15. got out the the car at 1:20 and had everything installed by 1:27. it matches the trim perfectly.







so there you have it. the ist in a hot lava. lighting was a little off so it makes the armrest look grey in a couple of them but it really does match perfectly to the rest of the trim in the car. good luck to anyone else who buys one

oh and the only reason you can see the supports for it in that one picture is because i had the seats pushed all the way up to work on it. once i slid them back it vanished

Now you just need to take those flaps off the armrest and have them sprayed to match the center console for a real good look.

The flaps..?

Those are the metal supports for the arm rest, and when you move the seats back you don't see them at all.

Nice install. Do you find the "lip" at the front of the center console hurts your arm when you use it as an arm rest? That seems like a bad design "feature."

I have the Ist console, and it doesn't bother me.

actually, my arm doesn't even touch that thing. when you slide the seats back your arm clears that lip and you don't have to worry about it. i'm so happy i got this. it was killing me not having an armrest after driving a car for 2 years that had one
