Default Armrest on MY12 wrx

Hi everyone,

The original armrest on 2012 wrx is so short and low, not comfortable at all. Anyone has installed the extendable center armrest on the current wrx model?

Like this one: Subaru Impreza WRX / STI 2008-2011 Black Extendable Center Armrest - OEM NEW! | eBay

I am thinking to purchase one, and was wondering anyone used before, and how was it.

Thanks...

Then dont bother. You will just end up hitting your elbow on it all the time.

Finally, I still decided to get one.

I got it from the US Subaru parts, and sent it straight to JPM Coachwork and get it matched with my leather interior. They are very easy to deal with, and very helpful as well. The whole process including shipping took about 3 weeks.

If anyone is interested, here are the photos.

I don't see the point in it personally, but they did well with the trimming!
