Have you installed this armrest? If so, I'd love to know how you did 'cause I have the same one but it does not fit in my 91 Civic Hatch. There's another armrest picture above from a CRX and that one, I have seen it installed in a 91 Civic Hatch and it fits perfectly. If you look close, the shape of the bottom part is different - the one you have is bigger than the armrest from the CRX.

Any part that is OE to the vehicle makes it much more appreciative. Grey EF arm rests are rare. I am looking for one for my 89 Si hatch. The arm rest w/ the optional connecting console looks so legit.

This armrest is worth 2-3 times what a DC2 armrest is worth; plus these are extremely rare stop hating.

Yeah it's installed; it fit perfectly all i had to do is drill holes where the armrest screws into the shifter console other than that it fits right into the hatch.

Mine is a 89 though not sure if there is a difference or not.

thats the cheap, ghetto way of doing. like everyone said, it is an extremely rare piece. i paid close to 200 bucks for the one i posted up top and apparently that was a deal. Also, with the DC/EK armrest, it doesnt really flow with the interior plastics and looks too big and bulky in an EF/Crx interior.

i got into efs cause they are cheap and fun. i am not looking to pay 400 bucks for a mint arm rest for the car i bought for 400 bucks. haha. i mean unless you have like i matching-numbers-mopar-type enfatuation with ef civics i dont see the point in dishing out even 200 for an armrest, specailly if it aint black! but to each his own. i should be racking a gsr console soon if it ever comes in the mail.

i hear ya lol. i know what you mean but i like oem/rare stuff. i dont know to each their own i guess. its like how people on this forum will spend 2-3 grand on wheels for a car that cost a fraction of it. the armrest did match the interior since its a dark dark dark blue.c

Hmm. I found one at a junkyard for $3 bucks for my EF sedan. The guy who owned the car reupholstered it some strange print. It seems to look a bit different. I'll try to post pics

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side, you should probably look into getting that fixed.
