Where Can I Purchase a Center Console Armrest

Where can I purchase a center console armrest for my FD3S? I've seen a center console armrest that fits in the space where the ashtray is located. Someone suggested that the armrest is an OEM part on Japanese 3rd Gen.

I have a picture that I'll try to attach but it might not work.

Do it yourself with Easy Armrest Maker!

1. Get piece of scrap plywood, cut to size.

2. Get piece of scrap foam.

3. Get piece of scrap leather.

4. Get staplegun.

5. Fold neatly along dotted lines.

5. Voila! Free center armrest.

But then that's not OEM. Sure it's cheap and easy, but you own an FD, so why break with tradition?! Just find the JDM part and pay some insane amount of money for it and be happy that you did

you could get an oem one out of a car that has an arm rest. I'm looking for one for my rx, but I want one that flips up like the '02 IS300, so when i'm driving fast it can be out of the way.

The armrest I saw appears in a post by member A-Spec in the following thread. Just click this link and scroll down the page to A-Spec's post and you'll see the picture of his console and the armrest.
