LB armrests are really good.

[cali yaris]

There will be a link available when they come in. They are on order, supposed to come in at the end of the month. Check my vendor section, there's a thread that has most of the info you need about it.

I'm starting to get concerned that I didn't order enough of those! (good problem to have?)

solarvitz, got your order and it will ship today.

[custom Lftback]

Thanks garm, yeah i would say that is a good problem to have. lol

Hmmm.... this one matches perfectly my redline shift boot and shift knob.

Hey Garm, how much does this thing weights?

mine too! ...about three pounds in the box

Here's a couple of pictures I took today of the ones with all-black stitching.
Since it sits in the cup holder, you get a NEW folding cup holder in the back.

Yeah, these armrests are a significant improvement over the OEM armrests. My Yaris is manual, and I can't have the armrest folded down otherwise it hampers my shifting ability. It's very awkwardly designed. And it feels cheap.

get a bubble shift knob, lol... they are like 8" long and would make shifting w/ the armrest easier. That's a decision you'd have to make though b/c not everyone likes the look.

I had a few days to use mine that I bought from ZetaProducts which looks just like the one pictured above and I have to say I'm happy with it. For awhile I thought about returning it but I'm going to keep it...I want to add for those who may not know, there is a tray inside that serves as the bottom that is removable for larger items. It's made to be removable because that is how you reach the bottom part that fits in the existing cup holder after you remove the round felt pad to screw it in place with 2 self tapping screws, put the felt pad back in place to cover the screws and use the tray to hold smaller stuff or leave it out to hold bigger items. It also has a coin holder right inside the top front which also snaps in and out of place if you want to use it or not. Also, mine has the black stitching and matches my interior exactly.

I think I like the idea of re-using the bolt, like the one cali-yaris sells.
Could you have done this with the ZetaProducts armrest? I know that
if you were to take out the armrest down the road, you would cover up the
two screw holes with that pad.

I am considering getting one for long trips. For around town, I am not sure
it would be worth it for me.

Any pics of the inside mounting and storage area??

Also, I'm only 5'1" and no, I can't rest my arm on it if I have two hands on the wheel, however, since I have a manual transmission, I rarely do. So, my right elbow rests on the armrest to shift and it's perfect.

It was easy to install. There's a bolt in the existing center cupholder, under the little round piece of fabric sitting in the bottom. Remove that and the bolt, place the armrest into the cupholder and bolt in.

I'm pretty happy I got it. It's one of the more useful interior mods I've done.

Peace

Hey Lisa, where are those pics??

[cali yaris]

Revsson, no I didn't take any of that, but I always have my camera with me!

[SIPNGAS]

oops..yes...will get pictures but really, they going to look just like the ones Garm posted. lol

and you live close enough, you could see it in person. LOL

Nah, I decided I wanted to do a TRD short shift kit, and I doubt it'd work with the factory armrest. I took it out a few days ago. Muuuuuch more comfortable, even when the armrest was up!

[upgradedyaris]

Price of the unit that had the new cup holder on the rear?

Also, this may sound funny but, are there any pics of this rest with someone having their arm on it so I can that it is indeed usefull? The reason I ask is because I have had cars that had an arm rest but it was not the right height for being comfy.

Thanks
Duane

I have the same exact problem with my stock armrest. So these aftermarket ones don't get in the way?

The one that Zeta sells does not use the bolt. The arm rest has a hole that fits right over the existing bolt so you don't have to remove the bolt. There is just 2 supplied self-tapping screws that hold it in place... So you don't do anything with the bolt. Does that help? As for the screws they are kind of small so they would not leave big holes at all.

I have an auto tranny so I can't say for sure about the manual shifting being hampered, but when I use my shifter my arm rest is no where near being in the way. I don't have to reach around it or over it. Even using the parking brake it's not in the way.

A) You know what they say about opinions. . .
B) All black leather against a plastic/carpet interior doesn't match anything in my eyes. All black or not it doesn't match.
