Default New wide armrests

I remember seeing these here years ago and ran across them on eBay. My armrests are getting a little tatty so I thought I'd continue my restoration project with a fresh pair. I'll post pics when they get in.

lol, it's 250 for the pair. One of the joys of no car payment is being able to splurge on the baby every so often.

From the picture, it looks like they might block access to the pop-up cup-holder, the one I use everyday.

I agree with RX300TC ....but that pic is not an RX300, maybe in the RX they will be okay.

Carver, please post pics when you get these installed.......if you can, post one with a Thirstbuster in the cup holder too

Are you guys talking about the cupholder in the package tray or the one under the spring loaded door?

At any rate, I'll post pics when I get them in. I've always hated the skinny little armrests. The driver's rest is useless to me and I always end up using the passenger rest much to the chagrin of my passengers.

That's funny...I use the passenger arm rest too.

Anyway, I was thinking the wide arm rests would interfere with the use of the pop-up cup holder on top of the center console.

Spring loaded door. I usually use the other cup holders to hold my gas receipts, cell phone, etc.

Geeze.... you must be a big guy. I can't ever remember having to stretch over that far... then again, the passenger is usually SWMBO. So I stay away

WTF, Single White Male Barack Obama?? I don't understand many of those internet acronyms and when I try to figure them out it usually ends poorly for me.

I emailed today to get a tracking number and they said they hadn't sent them yet. So, I guess in a few days.

I know some of you have done business with this vendor, is lack of communication and slow shipping part of the JJ experience? I got a response on the 6th and nothing since. I emailed again last night but nada.

The guy has 100% feedback and over 1600 deals so I'm not really worried about getting the product but wonder if this is how they operate.

lol, I do business with a guy in Hong Kong who rebuilds antique watch bracelets, here's the deal, you send off your rare bracelet and the money and that's the last you hear of him for 6 to 8 weeks, he simply will not respond to email, threats, anger, whining or begging.

Then one day your better than new bracelet shows up in the mail and all is well again. Maybe JJ operates the same way?
