  • Just installed the WRX JDM armrest in my 2022 WRX Premium! It is a great fit! I love having the extra storage. I highly suggest installing this JDM armrest in your 2022 Subaru WRX. There were no fitment issues and it feels great! Doesnt get in the way of the shifter either! Youll have more space to store your goodies and its comfortable on long drives!

    Been watching your videos for a bit. I didn't realize you were in the group too. LOL Love your videos!
    I have the Subaru one that pulls up. It's also made of softer material. I wonder if I could combine the two. Probably be way too high!

    I also have JDM parts, and they all are like your part color differant .... does not matter do U buy black or grey, there is always color problem... for now I installed additional cup holder below arm rest, because 2018 does not have it... :) nice video

    • @HeavyMetalWRX

      I saw someone had the rear cup holders in a WRX/STi which was pretty cool. The 22 premium has cables for USB in the back of the center console so the cupholders won't fit anymore

      I am in the same boat. I have the armrest extension but its annoying as it covers the cupholder and I need it extended all the time. I had this jdm extender on my 21 and it was great to have the extra shelf for sunglasses. I found this video and it looks like it will work with our set up. ua-cam.com/video/2G1w8ghINwc/v-deo.html
      Thank you for showing the install and veryfing that it works for 22. I also have the premium in white. Looking forward to your future videos.

    nice vid sir - I've got an '18 and was looking at those. I had a 2009 Mazda 3 that had the higher armrest stock, trying to decide whether I like the lower "US" spec or the higher JDM.

    • @HeavyMetalWRX
      @HeavyMetalWRX  Рік тому

      Thank you so much! Honestly for me it was the extra storage space. Once I saw that I was sold. I don't rest my arm on it much and it doesn't bother me during shifting so I went for it.

      It is pretty pricey but I got mine used from someone off marketplace. Maybe that's an option. I have to say tho I am resting my arm on it all the time. It does limit the backup holder but overall it's really good.

    • @HeavyMetalWRX
      @HeavyMetalWRX  Рік тому

      Front cup holder is fine, the back one (closest to the armrest) is an issue for tall cups. For me I have protein shaker bottles and they def do not fit in the back.

    Just confirming, the part is for 2021 and previous years but it works on the 2022? Trim level doesn't matter right? It's all the same dimensions?

    • @HeavyMetalWRX
      @HeavyMetalWRX  Рік тому +1

      This is correct. It works on the 15-21 VA. Someone just found out that it's compatible with the 22 because they didn't change the center dimensions.

    Is it the same height as the door armrest?

    • @HeavyMetalWRX
      @HeavyMetalWRX  Рік тому +1

      It's not. I'd say it's a few inches below but it feels a lot better if I put my arm on the door and other arm on this.

    • @HeavyMetalWRX
      @HeavyMetalWRX  Рік тому +1

      Actually I just tested it and remembered your comment. It's actually pretty close in height to the door. Fairly comfortable and I don't really feel a difference in higher. The door is maybe 1 inch higher but it's not perceptible...at least not to me.

      @StupidGoodProduction Рік тому

      @@HeavyMetalWRX Thanks a lot. I test drove a 2022 a couple days ago, and the height difference between the door and stock center arm rest would definitely bug me. I was thinking the arm rest extension would be a must, but this mod seems like a much better option with the extra storage space.
