I dont know if anybody has known this but there is actually another armrest under the factory one. Mine was all ripped up so i took it off and took it apart cause i was going to recover it. Well to my surprise there is another covered armrest inside the bigger softer factory one. I actually like this one better! Its level with the shifter and feels like where your arm should rest. I will take some pictures when i get home if anyone wants.

I never had the bigger arm rest on my car, but I'm happy with the smaller one.

The center armrest has a big "cap" on it. Its vinyl and if you take it off, theres another cover thats below it. Its like 3 inches or so thick, so its a big difference if u take it off.

Its for doing the pimp lean when you drive... I actually like it. MY 3000Gt's arm rest is flush with the console and it feels better for shifting.

the bigger, taller padded one is the accesory armrest toyota offered. the smaller one is how they came from the factory- the dealer put the tall padded ones on...
