Just imagine all the cool places and animals you can see if you have an armrest from Garm!

Idk how much advertising the farm animals do for Garm but I got one of these guys from MI and it is Golden .... dont tell Garm but its worth a hell of alot more as far a comfortableness is concerned ... Its turned my yaris into a human glove :-)

Are these only available in leather? How do they compare to the JDM center console?

cougar65 · 02-15-2011, 02:07 PM

They're only in fuax leather ( from http://www.microimageonline.com/)and apparently lower than Toyota's oem which is better for most 5 speed drivers.

RedRide · 02-15-2011, 04:08 PM

These days, faux leather is almost undisguisable from real leather, particularly for an app like an armrest or a shift boot.

An argument can be made that (good) faux leather is preferable for such small apps for various reasons.

swidd · 02-15-2011, 04:58 PM

It certainly holds up excellent. And just like real leather, it smells like interior cleaner after a while anyway.

cougar65 · 02-17-2011, 02:20 PM

Got it in today, its pretty good and i did the duct tape method to hold in place. It works great!!

RedRide · 02-17-2011, 03:55 PM

I have a question......
Why are some using duct tape instead of using the bolt to mount the arm rest?

cali yaris · 02-17-2011, 04:06 PM

^ It's faster and easier to remove. And on some cars, the bolt isn't long enough (although it's pretty easy to go get a longer bolt at the hardware store).

RedRide · 02-17-2011, 05:38 PM

^ OK......
I'm sold on that arm rest and will be ordering one soon.
