Default armrest in rsx

Has anyone purchased an armrest for their rsx? I noticed on clubrsx they have a boomerang armrest for $148. Anyone with info on this? My only gripe about this car is no armrest and i will definately buy one if it's worth it.

If the armrest attached to the seat, that installation would be a pain. I doubt anyone is stupid enough to make an arm rest for the RSX that mounts to the seat.

Yes.
Check ebay.
It's pretty ugly.

They make a really nice one that matches well but you
have to make two slits in the sides of the seats.

Well went to the acura dealer to get some touchup paint, low and behold they had the same arm rest in the parts department. They want 250 for it, as opposed to 150 on clubrsx. They let me try it out in my car. Its actually VERY comfortable , it seems like the car should have been made with one. It mounts into the the tray slot on the left side of e brake, and in front of the rear center console cupholder. It just slides right in there. Its already a perfect fit but if you want you can secure it using 2 screws. The rubber mat at the bottom of the tray folds up, underneith you drill two holes, place the screws, and your done. The only thing is that it seems like it might get in the way of shiting, mainly into 2nd, 4th, and possibly reverse . As thats a possibility, it definately kinda gets in the way of pullin the e brake up, but it would just take a few days of adjusting i guess. I do lot of cruising on the freeway though, and with that armrest there trust me you'll think there is no place more comfortable you'd rather be. I just might buy it.
