    I have a Prius C I and it doesn't have a center console of any kind. Anyone know where I can find an aftermarket or OEM that would work? I miss that elbow rest I had from the JEEP.

    Are you talking about the center armrest? They are around, for sale, you can check eBay and whatnot.

    Yeah I am pretty sure they all come with the center armrest / storage box... You are missing something...

    The C1 does not... just has a fixed cupholder and yet another open storage space.

    Rob.au Yup That's what I got. Cup holder and change box.

    I have not been able to find a console/arm rest ANYWHERE. I'm in San Diego CA area.

    I'm guessing hunting around wreckers for a C will be your thing, but then having to figure out how to swap the bits out (assuming they are directly interchangable - looks like it might be but I'm not sure).

    The top of the armrest slides forward for added length.

    Unfortunately the C1 that the OP has doesn't have a box with lid there at all, so there's nothing there to be slid forward.

    Over $300?!?!?!?!

    For that, you could just wear an arm sling to hold your arm up.... The It would weigh a lot less also, which help with your MPGs.

    Yeah $300 for a center console? I know I'll save that in gas alone in the first two months since switching over from my JEEP Rubicon but that doesn't mean I'm going to just waste my savings. My neighbor is pretty skilled in wood working. I see a custom light weight box deal coming up.

    If I remember correctly, it is on a sliding rail with two position detents. Just grab it and slide it forwards or backwards.

    If you need to make it taller, there are generic aftermarket accessories to add height.

    I know it slides forward and backwards...I just want it to be longer or slide farther forwards.
