It seems we all have issue w/ the center armrest being too small and too low... Someone has found a solution that's worked for them - an armrest from a Honda Civic. Apparently it can flip up and allow access to the cup holders and the stock armrest/console. Although, it's not something I would put in my xB, it does give me some ideas Wink

Wow!  That's an armrest I made.  That's a zetaproducts.net brand 2002-2005 Civic SI armrest.  I am considering making one for the xB2 driver seat to replace the small factory unit.  Any interest?

I was a little surprised that it wouldn't have optional storage like their other armrests for the 1st gen xB and the xA did... I didn't notice, until Angelo explained, that there simply wouldn't be enough room. The only other alternative would be to remove/replace the existing bottom center console storage, which I would imagine would be much more costly.

I'm eagerly awaiting Zeta's decision Cheesy

I am awaiting this decision but only if My local custom shop is unable to fab a new one themselves. THey have swing down arm rest  and are workin on redoing it. First run looked shoddy and not well constructed. Tehy Sub-contracted it to another company and did not like the way it looke d when it came back to them, so..... we wait more. My first gen did not have one so I do not miss it too much. Just whenI slip Drive into Neutral while driving. I use my shifter for Armrest shocked shocked

I'd definitely be interested in this... something that makes the configuration a little less like a van... ideally it would be nice to have something that ran from the stock center console to the shifter

What is that from? I can't wait to see the finished product! Cheesy

That's what needs to happen... a center console replacement, not another armrest, especially one that would take away the existing console.

I see you had to remove the driver's armrest to squeeze that contraption in there.

What a hideous color Smiley Looks like something out of an old Chevy.

PLEASE give us a how-to...
