Finally got a damn armrest for my car! It was one of the few things that aggravated me about this car, the not having one. So I've been searching around off an on looking for a good deal and today I found one. Got the whole armrest, rear cup holder, mounting block, and bolts for $45!!

Best damn mod I've done to the car so far!

 

mmmmm comfy! Being a truck guy my whole life, I really miss the armrest lol. Where did ya pick it up man?

 

ebay or craigslist i bet

congrats. forget blower/turbo swaps, headunits, cams, wheels... armrest is the best mod.

 

seen his other post there, too bad DFW are :-(...exactly rice

 

Got it out of a fairly local salvage yard! Ebay was like $100 for the parts.

I've already got the blower, headunit, rims, etc. This beats them all! I'll just have to get used to putting it up if there's a lady in the car.

 

Nice score, and good price. I hope to ****** that last one.

 

Better get it before saturday

 

I honestly thought about picking them both up and selling the second one, but I figured I'd not be a dick. Haha

The other one is in a little nicer shape than the one I got, but this one was a little easier to get to so I just decided to get it instead. I was surprised though cause they actually had several Cobalts on the lot. If I had an 05 or 06 I would have also picked up the 140mph speedo off the G5 too. That thing was pretty sexy.

 

I know where about 3 black int g5's are

 

Where at? I may be looking to buy black seats sometime soon.

 

Great price.

 

Love my armrest. Now if only I could find a cheap one for the lady's Mazda.

 

Definitely something I need to invest in. I cannot stand not having an armrest. Didn't realize how much I would miss it.

 

Anybody else use the door panel for an armrest as well? Lol

 

Yeah I've gone almost 4 years without one and its recently started to bug me. But I certainly didn't want to pay eBay prices. So far, I'm loving it.

 

mine feels like someone tore it apart. put any pressure on it and it crumples lol

 

That is exactly how my old s10 blazer felt on the armrest. it sucked. Too much leaning on it when i got in.

 

That's strange, mine is firm haha

 

Yeah the armrest price went up either after they ceased production or the parts started to get not so easy to find. Glad I got mine before the markup.

 

My armrest on the door is fine other than a couple of the plastic studs that hold it on have come loose, but thats an easy fix. But since I dont always drive with my right hand, its nice to have the armrest in the middle too. Typically I drive with my left hand, so the center armrest was definitely needed. I just wish GM hadnt been so damn cheap and just put them in all the cars.

I think I got mine for cheaper than even CED had them listed while they still had them. They are out there still, I just had to be patient and wait for the right deal to come along.

 

It's so much easier driving with your left hand. Lay your right arm on the armrest and grab a gear.

 

Exactly! I was really surprised about how perfectly my arm was positioned while resting on the armrest to just reach out and the shift knob was like perfectly in my hand. Now I can shift gears like a boss! haha

 

i thought only the SS SC/TC ones didnt have the armrest, i thought base models have it...
mine came with it lol so i dont know

 

SS SC/TC did not

 

My LS didn't have one.
