Hey guys

finally managed to get a arm rest for my car. after almost a year of owning my car ive finally tracked one down

the seller also gave me the metal bracket. ive not tried fitting it to the car yet but where and which way is this bracket fitted?? just looking at it, it does not look too obvious

other then that. its the actual lid itself. its mint no scratches but looks rather cheap with a black platic lid. anyone know if the alcantara lids on ebay fit???? dont the canadian type R's come std with arm rest and the lid is in alcantara!!!! i found a cover on ebay made by Lightning Auto Customs. are these any good and will these fit??

anyone can give some advice. ive done a search . cant find what im looking for

 

Just get one from an Acura dealer. Cost more but will match the seats perfectly and is oem

 

have you got a part number??
im based in the uk. i pretty sure i can get one, but if i had a part number it will save a lot of aggro

does it have the red stitching too??
ive seen pics where the type R plaque is on the arm rest lid. i dont want this!!!!

 

they're all like that


you'll just have to get a regular Integra arm rest and re-trim it, i'm sure capital seating will do it for you

actually, the Brand New ones from Acura don't come with a badge. If you're wanting the "authentic" ITR armrest (with alcantra and red stitching) this is the way to do it. And it won't come with a badge, so if that is what you want, then it's all good.

 

83406-ST7-003ZA

that's the Honda part number for the armrest piece you are looking for.

 

I bought the cover from Lightning Auto Customs. Here's my review...

You need to get the Alcantara upgrade. It doesn't have holes for the badge. Perfect for you.

I hope this helps for the bracket...

No, it won't look like the one in the picture. It will look better with Alcantara.

Yes, that is what the CDM/USDM armrest console looks like.

To use the LAC's cover, you'll need to peel off the leather/vinyl cover. Then you'll be able to slip over the LAC cover. Real simple. I am surprised you haven't gotten a response from them. They usually have excellent customer service.

 

so under the alcantara in the USDM and canadian arm rests there plastic like my one!!!!

there is nothing to peel back on my one. its just hard black cheap looking plastic!!!!!!

i still have no response im going to email them again

It's not a vinyl cover? Have you tried disassembling it? I am sure it is a cover over hard plastic.

 

nope def not

its just hard black plastic. its excatly the same material as the actual arm rest!!

 

dunno where you got it from then
