Just a heads up these are going for under 50 bucks on ebay now.
Clicking some old bookmarks and found these $46.99 shipped.
I still think these are the best option to "fill the gap" that I've seen yet.
Hows everyones holding up so far? Thanks again to the OP.

Mine is holding up great. Couldn't imagine driving without it anymore. I knew prices would go down. I paid $70 I think. This should have been Oem in the 80
looks great.....ever thought of using the space under it for something...power outlet maybe?
would love if ebay would deliver here

Have a link by chance? I can't find it, thanks.
Looks like they're only $38 shipped now! Great bargain IMHO, much more comfortable driving now and the added storage is a bonus.
How did you remove the cup holder?
Mine arrived in the mail today. Went to install and the factory cup holder obstructs my preferred placement. Thought about just screwing the armrest into the cup holder.
Did not see screws backside, i.e. going into the holder from inside the console. I'll take another look.

I think that is what he meant by backside. You have to pull console out and get behind cup holder.
That was the ticket. Took off center console and gained access to the holy grail factory cup holder. Now, where to move it. Time to get creative. . .
Just got mine in today. Pulled off the tiny cup holder and drilled a couple holes on the metal bracket to mout the arm rest. Still a little flimsy since the supporting mount is plastic. might just cut up a 2x4 and stick it underneath and call it a day
Looks good to me. ^ I installed mine so the rest lies a few inches above the console, too. I did not attach to the seat since I move the seat back and forth. I installed a couple weeks ago and it has held up fine, and I have treated it like a factory arm rest as far as putting my weight on it. I used the wing nuts as in the photo above but might replace them using lower profile screws with nuts on the backside just to make it smoother for reaching under the rest and/or better storage area.
I still haven't decided where to screw in the factory cup holder, if anywhere. My factory console lid is the simple plastic tray so I'm considering a cup holder or two lowered into the tray.
