contrary to what many people think, the rs/gs console, when stripped is the exact same thing.

Parts needed:
GS/GST/GSX Armrest (1)
GS/GST/GSX Armrest plastic hinge (2, L/R)
GS/GST/GSX Armrest metal hinge (1)
12X1/2 sheet metal screw (2)
10X1/2 sheet metal screw (4)
10X screw clip (2)
GS/GST/GSX Armrest storage console (1)

1-carefully pull out rs center storage bin (be patient), once done, you will now see where the armrest latches in, 2 slots for the plastic hinges, as well as 2 notches towards the rear of the compartment.
2-with 12X1/2 sheet metal screw, attatch metal hinge to armrest (it can only go one way)
3-with 10X1/2 sheet metal screws (2) attatch both plastic guide hinges to the left and right side of the armrest
4-with 10X screw clip (2) slide onto 2 notches mentioned previously on the rear of the console.
5-insert plastic hinge into the 2 slots previously mentioned
6-allign metal hinge with 10X screw clips (2) and screw hinge on tight with 10X1/2 sheet metal screws (2)
7-inspect all screws for tightness
8-insert/snap in GS/GST/GSX Armrest storage console (1) into center console

VOILA!!!!
you now have an rs with a GS/GST/GSX Armrest!!!

Cool. This'll go right to the main site.

Well holy crap on a stick, I thought that was all one piece!

you learn a new thing every day

Yeah I discovered that after I bought the whole console part, it's fine because I may cut one up for soem reason or another... always good to have places or things you can cut up and maul without the worry about going back.

very true

what the heck there is a diffrence???i got a arm rest on my RS..?

Yeah Im kinda confused too... PIC'S would help.

gs has a padded covered armrest, rs dont

i would say its more than a pad...its a lid also

gs has a padded >>>covered<<< armrest, rs dont

i bought a gst console today in black with the arm rest and after i took my old one out i noticed that i could pry off the back of the cup holder where the arm rest would be......know what i found.....same shit as the arm rest people have........i thought i had something good to put on this site untill i read this thread......doesn't that suck.......if u plan on doing this please be carefull.....u can break it........i didn't but i could see how u could........also found out that the auto console is the same as the manuel console.....just have to screw in the shift boot......i thought they where different.......

After struggling with removing the RS center piece I figured out the easy way...

Push the tab on the bottom, get your fingers under the top, front of the center piece and pull up on it.


Use a screw driver to push in on the center piece in each one of the 4 slits. The corner will pop-out. Do each one at a time.

good job.. great cheap mod
