I have an LS and dont have one... Does anyone know where I can get a grey armrest? I know gm parts direct had them but you can no longer purchase them on their website anymore. I've been wanting an armrest and with my tax return I can I finally afford one. It sucks being a college student...

 

Got home from work...installed in 10 minutes

 

Did'nt even know that they had armrest's. Been driving uncomfortable for so long. Where do I get one, and do they make them for sedans?

 

GM parts direct used to have them, but it looks like they don't sell them anymore, I was on their website earlier looking for a grey one but it says the part is discontinued. Ebay will probably be the way to go unless someone knows of another website.

 

Go on Ebay...you won't find the package cheaper anywhere. 88 bucks shipped.

My 40 minute drive into work this morning was sooooo much better than it has ever been

 

I love your handbrake and shifter boots and handbrake handle. Where'd you get the boots from and which handbrake handle is that?

 

<-- Click my Garage

 

Just got mine installed! HOW THE **** did you install that without taking off the console?!?!?!?! I tried and I couldn't do it. No matter how much I flexed the plastic I couldn't get the bracket inside. So I bit my teeth and proceeded to take apart the center console. Took an extra 20-30 mins, but I wasted like 15 trying to skip that step.

Anyway, having a short throw shifter makes it a little weird for me. I'll get used to it though, i'm not worried about it. I do like it a lot though.

 

could someone pm where to get these? i looked on gmpartsdirect.com and couldn't find it.. on ebay i can find the armrest for about 120 smackaroos but it don't come with the different cupholder...

 

they are on gmpartsdirect! Just click "auto trans" then all of the colors will show

 

also the cheapest i could find when i got mine

 

You're joking right?

cobalt armrest | eBay

All of those come with the cup holder, it's just part of the package.

 

This is the first one I've seen, I stopped looking because all I was finding was ones that were literally just the armrest and nothing else. Thanks for the link though! I just bought it!

 

Was the 1st mod I did the weekend I bought the car along with hid's wish I had seen this how to since the instructions were good but not great. I do a lot od highway driving to and from work and aside from getting in the way when fully engaging the ebrake it is a Awsome mod they should have came like this. Took me about 30 min and I got mine from modern performance since their down the road a bit and had it in stock. Instance gratification is always the best. Next is the rpd since I sat in a 2010 and liked it more than my simple boost gauge.

 

ok i wound up getting mine on ebay for a shade under $95 shipped, and was barely able to skip taking apart the whole console, LOL. I could just by a hair manage to squeeze the metal piece in, and then SCREWING it in took even longer cuz of the awkward bolt placement against the console ... SO i'd recomend taking apart the console. however, minus that, i was done in yea like ten minutes! doesn't get in the way of the ebrake, holds things like a wallet, cigs, work phone and another misc. item at the same time, which is great because really i had nothing before

anyway thanks for the writeup, i wouldn't have known we could do armrests if it wasn't for this post!

 

I got that one off ebay for $85 shipped, I installed it today. Man does it make a huge difference having something to rest my arm on when I'm driving now.

 

**** yea it does! best par tis it really isn't in the way of the ebrake

 

Anyone know the part # for the bracket the armrest bolts to? I bought the armrest from a junk yard like 2 hrs away and rather just buy 1 from the GM dealer here..

 

couldn't tell ya. but gm dealer can look it up easy as 1-2-3

 

Just installed mine $110 from the dealer in Canada. Probably burned a few calories doing it in the sun on my lunch break with the windows down. Other than that it is a sweet mod/upgrade. Can't wait for todays commute.

 

Here's my current set up, complete with leather boots and armrest cover.

 

Sexy^^

 

I know this is a very very old thread, but when I went to install this into my 2009 SS, there was no way to slip the base plate in. No amount of finaggling seemed to work. I have to pull the console up or something. We're the 2005s that much different?

 

It's alittle hard to put in but you should find a way to make it go in, you could remove the bolts on the side to give you more flex on the plastic

 

Pulling the console is easy
