i don't work at the dealer. i guess i could take pics of it. joe the manager said he was thinking around $250 installed. i will run out today and see i can get more info on who it is made by. i can tell you that the base is made out of aluminum that is very sturdy. it uses the plug in the console to mount it. the plug just under the E- brake handle then 2 on the tunnel that go in the the carpet. instructions say install time about 5 min. and i can see it. the lid is spring loaded with magnet to keep it closed. flips up and out of the way fills the entire space between the seats. nice and wide. the base is black, the leather is black that is the same ass the factory. the sides are what is different in the 2 choices. silver that is a perfect match to the interior, or black. i think the sides are made of a very sturdy ABS of some sort. but lots of metal in it and nice fit.

will go and take pics and get info if i can today.

It looks really nice, sort of a hybrid between the Genius one and the one from Canada (?). One question: Is the height adjustable?

fts1966 · 02-14-2009, 09:19 AM

no hight adjustment. just a bit taller than the door arm rest. it fit me just fine and in the position that my other car and truck is in. so felt the same to me.

again it is really nice.
