I just got mine and was sad that it doesn’t come with an arm rest and sun/moon roof. Now I’m happy that there is arm rest available! This is great. Thanks for the video!
I so miss having a sunroof in this car. I do wish that the Core model had that option. Congrats on the new GRC and adding the armrest though! I've done videos on every mood and maintenance item that I've done to my GRC to help other owners out.
This is awesome! You have all the videos for the GR Corolla🤯Your channel should have A LOT more subs! SERIOUSLY, you have one of the best, with the most comprehensive GR Corolla content on here!! So goad I found your channel. sir! I was looking at getting this as well because that was one of the biggest complaints I have is the lack of an armrest when there is a perfect place or it. I read the description and saw that we are the same height. That is another reason I really like the GR Corolla because it has plenty of room for me. Think I mentioned it already but I had put $1k on a GR86 and my knee was hitting the e-brake and steering wheel. BTW, one of the dealerships just got that 2025 Heavy Metal Premium Plus/manual in stock and I am about to go look at it here in about an hour. If they feel like giving me a deal, I will be taking it home, if not then I will buy another one. Either way, the main thing I have been trying to do, is look at the Heavy Metal color in person. I haven’t seen that color in person yet. Again, glad I found your channel because it has a plethora of amazing GR videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, sir! They are greatly appreciated….🙏
Thanks so much! Spread the news about my channel! I've never really understood why it hasn't grown at a faster rate but I keep plugging along because I love to do them and help other owners of all the cars I own. Good luck with the Heavy Metal GRC. I think that or black will look the best with the new grill design too.
I'm not in any rush to change the exhaust. I actually like the look and sound of the exhaust. The first thing I might do is the mid pipe to get a little more sound, but I don't want it a lot louder.
Nope, I still have my iM and 2009 Corolla S Turbo 5MT. I love both of my other Corollas so why sell them? Now I have an excellent 10th Gen, 11th Gen, and 12th Gen with my GR Corolla. 😍😎
Hey Jim, I'm hopefully getting off the waitlist for one of these some time soon, I was wondering how you;re liking this a couple months out? I'm rather annoyed at the idea of not having an arm rest since even if I'm tracking it, I still want to cruise around in it normally.
@@jimsgaragetoys understood! thanks man, it was one of my few minor qualms with the car, so knowing that if its an actual issue for me, theres a solution, is good :D

Measurement of height in inches?
With the low mount that I now have it's 6" tall.
Great Video Jim. This is something I need to do ASAP
Yes, it made a huge difference for when I'm just driving normally or cruising along the highway.
Nice upgrade.. i ll get one for my grc. U have another subscriber.. thanks
Thanks! I think most owners will love it.
If you buy directly from sxth it is about $30 cheaper
I did buy mine directly from them. 😉
@@jimsgaragetoysI just ordered mine a few days ago, can't wait until I get it installed.
when will you do a update for the cat-back exhaust system. (AWE).
I'm not in any rush to change the exhaust. I actually like the look and sound of the exhaust. The first thing I might do is the mid pipe to get a little more sound, but I don't want it a lot louder.
Forget the armrest install…how about a tour of that poster wall!!!😃😜😂
I've always been a huge fan of Kathy Ireland.....always! 🤣😍🔥❤
is it sturdy? seems like it might break after a few years
It's plenty solid. All it does is support your arm so it should be fine for a very long time.
do you still have the IM? or is this GR the replacement?

Such a great upgrade, more so for the storage than the resting of the arm, but both are good
I'm just the opposite, I appreciate the armrest much more, the extra storage is a nice side benefit though. 😎

Luckily the armrest issue can be solved. I love having it. If it did get in the way when you are tracking it you can easily remove it in seconds.

Do you find it getting in the way of your elbow while changing gears? Considering getting one for my gr also
Not at all. It’s never gotten in the way of me shifting.
