The main differences between the 88-91 civic and crx armrests was the base design, as you will see in pics.
The civic armrest also came with a rear ashtray.

If Im not mistaken, these were only available for US & Canada as well as Japanese markets.
It is very rare to find these in brand new condition at this point.
These 88-91 civic/crx armrest colors came in: off black, palmy grey, fair blue, urban brown, urban red.
On to pics...

i just got an armrest how do i install it? i dont have any hardware for it and i want to make sure its going to be secured...

 

here's shot of the install page



Yes, the crx has a shorter base, i found one sitting in a car just last week

 

thanks broo!you think i can mount it on there without the brackets?

 

yes. I did

 

I was looking at my new civic armrest and noticed that his has 1 pre drilled hole in it.
Most used ones I see have a hole drill in front as well.
Kinda odd it has 1 hole since the manual shows 2 holes.

Used: 2 holes



New: 1 hole

 

Cool little comparison...

Some CR-X armrests came with a rear ashtray too, I'm thinking for the little smokers sittin' back there, lol..

 

Japanese start smoking at 9. Pretty standard.

Where can i find one of these armrests in off black?

Along with every other Crx interior piece?

 

heres some snaps of the install manual.

 

where i can find a blue one ?
