Looking for armrest that keeps the cupholder, or good idea on taking one from the junkyard and modifying to fit. |  |  | | 03-03-2013, 02:27 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Bethlehem, PA Posts: 1,106 |
what color? | | | | | 03-03-2013, 04:14 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Phx Posts: 196 |
Grey would be optimal, but I'd go with black also as long as the cupholder is open. | | | | | 03-03-2013, 04:57 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: San antonio, tx Posts: 135 |
Bavarian Autosport sells a simple cushioned arm rest that fits in the top of the storage tray and leaves the cupholder open. not fancy, but functional. i have found it to be quite comfortable. | | | | | 03-03-2013, 05:22 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Phx Posts: 196 |
This one? | | | | | 03-03-2013, 12:28 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: San antonio, tx Posts: 135 |
Yes. Mine is the earlier narrow one. It has a small block on the underside that fits in the top of the storage tray to hold it in place. It just lifts off if you want access | | | | | 04-21-2013, 04:36 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Phx Posts: 196 |
Just bumping this for a used or cheaper alternative before buying it new. | | | | | 04-21-2013, 05:55 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |
I bought one from leatherz.com. All you need to buy is the armrest lid and screw it on to you center console. It comes with everything you need and you keep your cup holders. | | | | | 04-24-2013, 08:33 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: northampton Posts: 129 |

Yeah, I'll probably just buy it. Was bumming around for used parts first. Never mind spending money on engine/suspension, but seem to always get cheap on the non performance items. I've been using a thermos in the front cup holder for over a year to prop my arm on. Probably time to do it right. | | | | | 04-24-2013, 11:59 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: northampton Posts: 129 |
HAHAHA, a thermos, i can just picture it. must be uncomfortable as hell.
did you ever use the thermos for its intended purpose?
made my night haha. dont know why, but its a hilarious replacement for an armrest. :-) | | | | | 04-25-2013, 12:02 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Phx Posts: 196 |
