I am so close to making my order I wanted to know if you can tell me if this "cut off" means you can't open the console or you can but need to lift up the rest first? Thanks a bunch

You can still open the console easily. If you raise the driver rest you have pretty much the same access you do now.

Fantastic Can't wait. Getting my Lip kit painted this week, new wheels soon. Some nice changes and this is I gather much more comfortable than the OEM tooth picks?

Very much so, the toothpicks are the least comfortable part of the interior IMHO. If you put them both down it's like a hospital bed for your poor tired arm.

You're going to love them. The comfort level is 10x.

How long did it take for it to arrive after you ordered it? Just curious since I never got any tracking # or email saying it was shipped.

It took damn near two weeks to get them, I called once and finally got a UPS tracking number about a week after that. At least JJ is consistent!

I'm not sure how long it took for mine to arrive. I suspect they don't keep an inventory and make them as the orders come in. I checked back through my emails and received a purchase confirmation but no shipment notice.

My guess was that it took about 2 weeks.

Yeah I don't mind it taking time to get here. I just do not really like being kept in the dark for too long. Makes me worry and it's not really good for business.

I'm the proud new owner of a 2007 and the one thing that annoyed me was the scrawny arm rests...nice writeup, I've got mine on order!

Thanks. As Carver and I both stated. you won't be disappointed. It takes a bit of getting use to not having as easy access to the center console, but the comfort level more than makes up for it.
