One thing I feel that my 08 RX350 is lacking is some form of center arm rest for the passenger. The little sticks that fold down are pretty useless, being a bit too low to actually rest on. I am considering building a wooden structure that would slot down into the sliding console opening, resting on top of it. The wood will get covered with headliner foam, then a matching leather or vinyl. (I've build things like this before so just assume it will look nice). I am just wondering if the sliding center console can handle the duty of being an arm rest support? If it was solidly mounted, I wouldn't hesitate, but I don't want a 'life your body to grab what you are sitting on" movement to break it.

Thoughts? Has anyone else done something like this?

I did that when I bought mine in 2007, still works great, and adds storage and 2 large cup holders. A little shoe glue sticks it on the lower center console, can still open and close from withing the box.

How has this been working out for you?? Any more pics of it?

Passed car down to my daughter, but she kept the box, even though I offered to remove it, so that is high marks from a woman in my family, lol!
