Has anyone fitted a center armrest to their Fiat 500. I have a 500 S and am thinking of fitting one. Any comments or recommendations would be helpful. Thanks

Take a look at this thread.
I haven't actually got around to fitting it yet but it looks like it will be OK. Not great quality to be honest but the bits you can see are fine.

Yep I put in an 'Armster' one - available online, works well, handy for storage, easy to fit, folds away if required. Just be aware it makes putting on your belt a little awkward but you soon get used to it so not an issue, recommended.
I have the Armster, installed 2011, go for it...

Yep, I also have the Armster armrest in my 1.4 Sport. The colour and grain of the armrest leatherette almost exactly matches the leatherette on the Sport seats, which is a major bonus. Cinch to fit, just measure and mark carefully and make sure you drill the right sized pilot holes to get a good tight fit with the 4 self tappers. Makes longer journeys a lot more comfortable whe you can rest your left arm while cruising.

Has anyone fitted the Armster 2 - know its more expensive but looks slighty more substantial?

I fitted one of these about two years ago - wouldn't be without it but there are a couple of issues;
It's attached to the original centre 'console' and covers the rear cupholders (no great loss, I don't carry passengers) but the console isn't too firmly fixed to the floor and makes the armrest a bit wobbly.
The plastic catch on the lid broke early on. It still sits in place, and is at least easier to open, but a magnetic catch would have been better.
I haven't found a use for the removable pocket yet but it is a good place to put your satnav.
it is quity foxy !!
so Armster 2 is out, that looks good.
I haven't used my fiat TA for over 2 months due to shoulder surgery.
