I got this through the RSpeed group buy, which saved me a good bit of cash.
Upon receiving it, you can definitely feel that the material is pretty different from the stock piece. It feels much more stiff and there is little flex in the structure. The amount of storage compared to stock is much larger and it make for a nice place to keep your elbow when cruising.
I am not really a fan of the finish, I can't really describe it, but it looks "off." It also scratches much more easily than the stock piece, due to the different material it is made with. Also, the lid locks, but it does not have a soft latch in place to hold the lid down at all times. The lid doesn't move around at all, but a latch would be nice.
The cupholders are much appreciated.
All in all, I am not sure if I will keep this part or sell it.
Pluses:
Lots of storage
Added cupholders
Better place to rest your elbow
Minuses:
Scratches easily
Material pretty different from OEM
No latch for lid, other than the lock
