Sliding Armrest for Evo X
First thing I noticed when I test drove an Evo X was the lack of elbow support for the front seats, since the center console armrest does not slide forward. What options are available to replace stock armrest unit with one that has more functionality and slides forward?
I found this one which looks nice: http://evosoulselect.com/review/archives/tag/arm-rest

Anyways, I got a reply from Rick Chong who said his armrest unit costs about $170.00.

Whats funny is there are alot of similarities with the EVO and Outlander Sport. Obviously not in the performance department. But there are alot similarities cosmetically. My understanding is Mitsu used a number of Evo parts for the Outlander Sport and it was built in the same plant (?). I wish they would have used the same arm rest. I liked the center console in the Outlander Sport.

How many inches does the armrest slide forward? I can't believe Mitsu did not account for such a basic amenity found in most modern cars. I can see where you could get elbow fatigue on long trips.

It slides forward about 3" and is really nice for resting your elbow on even cruising to the grocery store. I bought mine from Rainbow Pen Canada but everything ships from Malaysia so factor in shipping times. They only do business through Facebook and Paypal so you'll need a FB account if you don't already have one. There's also a Rainbow Pen US that's located in Puerto Rico. I've used them both and had better communication from their Canadian Distributor. I paid $100 shipped for mine.

He will give you his Pay Pal address, you make payment and in a few days he will post pics of your package and the shipping label.
Fairly simple and he's got good communication.

Browse their photos and send them a PM/email of the item you want. I always gave them the photo number and category to avoid confusion.
