Default New Armrest cover?

Is it possible to get a new armrest and/or just the cover? Mine is worn bad and looks terrible. Also I seen one here in red Recaro material. Was that an option or self done?

Here is the part number to the armrest, does not include the badge: 83406-ST7-003ZA

They are all a suede-like material like the Recaros you referenced and like the USDM ITR seats. After it ages a while it begins to feel almost like leather.

Be prepared Brockey. They are not cheap brand new on the Acura sites. Might be better off looking for a nice used one.

You can get a new one and just transfer your badge. Good as new.

Give it a shot Brockey a some of the ones on that thread 94rs-turbo posted were pretty bad too.

OXY carpet cleaner works, most any carpet cleaner but used the stuff with oxyclean in it though
a plastic round brush(smaller type) and microfiber towel

Searching that part number I got a price of $151, which is all right I guess.

As for the dirty center console. Either borrow a steam cleaner (but test it out on some old floor mats or make sure you know what chemicals are in it)
You could also spray it with some type of cleaner a bit watered down, and rub it with a cloth or tooth brush. Also if you're cleaning it inside the car, just be careful what you spray and if it runs down the plastic, if it's left on plastic it could stain the plastic depending on the cleaner. (Most carpet cleaners are okay).

I don't think any Integras do when they're in good condition.

Well I went to clean my interior this weekend, and cannot find the Oxyclean carpet cleaner. Tried WalMart, Target, Publix, no luck. Gonna search on line next.

I called the Acura dealership near my home, and they told me that they don't sell the armrest by itself, but that you had to purchase the whole center console to get the armrest. Are they wrong? haha

P.S. Awesome job on cleaning that armrest! Looks brand new!
