Armrest in a SS (PICS)

We'll, my buddy hated his armrest in his G5. So I bought him dinner and we traded.

I can easily shift with it down, very comfortable. With it up, it doesn't interfere at all with my shifting either. I will say using the E-brake is kinda sucky, but having an armrest in this damn car if far better. LOL

Kinda funny with the armrest I accel slower, shift slower, drive way more relaxed. Good for car.

I'm in second gear in this photo to prove there's plenty of room.

It's beyond worth it. Unless you're a delivery driver or something like that. The E-brake is slightly an annoyance, but having the armrest while shifting is great.

Anyone know if CED still carries a couple sets?
It might be worth just picking up before they are nowhere to be found.

It looks good in the car though, Bratboy.

My local place has on in the G5 I got my door from. A little dirty on top and the clip is broke, but looks ok otherwise. I wonder if they know how rare they are?? Either way, going to get it later this week..
