Default JDM armrest eliminator question

If I buy an armrest eliminator, will the eliminator come with a plastic black piece to cover up the mounting screws? I don't really want to buy the 98 spec badge.
thanks.

IMO JDM armrest eliminator = . I like having my armrest, I have somewhere to put my right arm while I pimp, and plus it's very useful in storing stuff.

Only 1 bracket in the rear. I removed it and put it with the armrest in the garage. They make a different bracket for the armrest eliminator, but it really isn't necessary.

"Pimp?" In an Integra?

And I did miss the armrest storage area when I got the JDM eliminator. But then again, I liked the Recaros more than the storage area.

I figure I bought it because otherwise I would have to open the car door in order to adjust the backrest on my Recaros.

It all fits, you just can't make seat adjustments without opening the doors. Gets annoying

DC2 Recaros will fit if you swap the seats (driver -&gt; passenger and vice versa). If you want it in recline adjustment **** in the proper location (inboard), then it's best to remove the armrest. Personally, I've never seen anyone shoehorn the seat in with the adjustment **** inboard and keep the armrest.

Also, the seat belt buckles were scratching up my armrest a bit.

Or you can twist your arm in a crazy way and roll the adjustment wheel an inch at a time with two fingers... hella annoying and uncomfortable to do... that's why I sit upright these days and never recline... no stunna pose for me or my passenger...

The worst is worn out suede where you rest your elbow and its not like the cover is easy to replace either... hands on the wheel or shifter from now on...
