Anyother 5spd peeps hate the arm rest?

((((((S/C t/C need not apply)))))))))

anyone else with the SSN/A/Sport/LT/LS with a 5spd hate the arm rest? it drives me nuts, my elbow always smacks it, and I never use it either lol.

Would it be hard to swap a S/C or T/C center console with mine? is it just a direct swap?

You just need One piece for the arm rest delete
Its the rear cup holders and a flat part that goes where the arm rest bracket is

Im sure a T/C or S/C will trade with you

only time mine goes up is at the strip when using the ebrake to clean the tires/stage, never gets in the way while driving fast or otherwise

i sit with my seat back some, so the arm rest gets in my way when i shift from 1st to 2nd

doesnt feel natural , i do the wrist thing but feels weird

i use it on the freeway when im in 5th, i put stuff in the arm rest(pen and paper to write down girls #s) haha

i should move the recline part up tho

3rd gear feels far sometimes
