LOL! Steve, let me know when you order one, I've been wanting to do this forever and keep forgetting. Might as well get them both at the same time

I had bought mine off of ebay for 85 dollars back in October of 2003. I think it was actually being sold by the guy's at rotary preformance, but I'm not sure if he still has any for sale...

For those of you interested, it's a really solid piece, and provides a comfy little cushion for your elbow while driving. To be honest, $85-90 bucks is pretty steep for it, but it IS a factory piece, which obviously hikes the price a bit.

I read a thread a while back and they were talking because it is a JDM product that it was meant for a RHD and lifted up on one side. Not a big deal but can any of you that bought this, can you comment on that? thanx

Here's my review of the part -

http://www.clubrx.org/default.asp?id...ntent=19&mnu=3

Really, this thing is GREAT - far more useful than the joke of an ashtray. It seems to fit the '94-95 center console plastic better than the '93's, though. Fit is just a *little* off, but it's nothing worth worrying about.

To the fellow looking for the JDM site - you may be thinking of http://www.jt-imports.com which had a ton of good JDM RX-7 parts. The site closed up shop earlier this year, though.

http://www.rx7.com (Rotary Performance) does sell the armrest/storage bins. They do occasionally list them on Ebay for a bit of a discount - that's how I got mine.

I saw one of these on a FD at sevenstock. It looked great. A nice upgrade to the center console. Fitment was very good. Easily popped in and out. The only issue was that it opened from the passenger side. Not a big deal. I should get one .

Actually I plan on getting one too. Rest my elbow, store change, store my ipod, drop in the syringe I found under the seat from the previous owner, WTF???? Really, when I cleaned out under the seats last weekend, I found a syringe.

I think your "cheap bastard" status would be in jeopardy if you spent $100 on a armrest.

I wouldn't spend $100 for an armrest. They are only $89 plus $10 shipping. Do you think I am an idiot or something???

Got my armrest today

Fitment is perfect. No issues at all. Snaps right in, and fits like it is supposed to. Very comfortable under my arm. I don't know about the rest of you, but I sometimes would hit my elbow on the rear rise in the console when shifting from 1st to 2nd. That won't happen now.

I'm a happy customer
