akm3 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 These options appear in the Legacy brochure, but has anyone actually seen any of these options in any of the new cars yet? -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtguy Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 The floating armrest is coming in August, according to my dealer. I'm getting one. I don't think anyone's gotten the STi sills yet. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I like the stock "Subaru" sills. They are the polished aluminum, and look sharp. I am happy I got the STi metal pedals. I think they look great and they feel good under my feet. I still might get that armrest "extension" or whatever later on. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm3 Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Any update with the floaty armrest? I heard some crap about it being delayed for "child safety issues" (ughhhhhh lawyers are killing this country) Anyway, is it possible we will LOSE the floaty-ness nad get stuck with just a flip open compartment? (ugghghhhh) Any news or info? -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I will have to say that the stock Subaru sills are AWESOME! No need whatsoever for STi sills. IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady_bunch Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm getting the armrest when my dealer can get one. I went with the WRX pedal upgrade instead of the STi. Looks like Opie went with the STi sills: [url]http://www.legacysti.com/viewtopic.php?t=1383&start=30[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I have the STi pedals, since they were included in the "performance package" which has the short shifter, sti pedals, and momo shift knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yep I've got the sills :), and I installed the WRX stock pedals and an Autospeed deadpedal: [img]http://www.subaruchallenge.com/Wills/Photos/pedalsnsills.JPG[/img] And the center armrest extension is now availible from the dealers, we've installed a few already.

SUBE555 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Opie, we all know your car is a parts showing car. :P I like the stock sills more than enough to swap them out for STi sills. The polished aluminum looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Opie, when you get the chance, could you snap a few pictures of the extended armrest if you have the chance? I know many people would be interested in seeing how it would look on the car. Also, how does it feel? Can you rest your elbow on it and still drive comfortably? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolbo Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Just ditto-ing the above request. Sharp pics of it in the original positione as well as extended...would satisfy many a person's curiosity. Also, although it's been briefly described previously, if you could explain 'exactly' how this thing operates. Where is the 'button' that you push to get it up and out. Is it a 'two stage' system? Does the one for Charcoal interiors have one solid color? The pic for the beige interior model...was two tone...had dark piece in middle. If you could, as accurately as possible, satisfy those type questions, I know folks will find it useful. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewSubieLegacy Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Here is the best pic I have found of the armrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebopper Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I spoke to my local dealer parts department last Friday about getting the adjustable center armrest. They called Subaru Parts to learn that availability has been delayed until October due to an apparent redesign. Their computer still shows a price of $144.

When you press the button on it, it lifts up about 2" and forward about 1" and then locks into place. I thought it was kind of gimmicky and didn't offer enough utility for the price...but that's just me. They do come in two colors; beige with a black base (as shown above) and dark gray with a black base to match the cars with the gray interior.

axis008 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hm, thanks for replying. That black on beige doesn't seem to match. I wonder why couldn't they just make it match? Also, it looks like since it extends it an inch forward, in the picture it looks like it's blocking part of the cupholder. Is this the case or are my eyes playing tricks on me? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubie02 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Damn, I thought it would be like the one on the wrx (which I had) that actually gave you an extra compartment on top of the regular one...I miss that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Maybe the apparent redesign will incorporate an extra compartment? We can all hope for it. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubie02 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 geez I hope so--I'd have no interest in it otherwise, probably. I mean, a little more height would be nice, but one thing I miss about the legacy is there isn't as much storage space--ANY they could add would be a good thing...(I was used to being able to stash some cd's pr whatever in the bottom bin, and all my change etc in the upper one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
