Does anyone worn out their armrest??
Mine begun to worn out because I rest my arm on it (doh ) all the time..

what to do to protect it? I mean, I don't mind it worn out if I can replace it..
does anyone sell it? how about the Tag with my R number on it... can I special order it?

don't tell me not to rest my arm there.. I always keep my right hand at the shift ****.. and since I am short, my arm always ended up hitting the armrest.. hehehe

 

Mine is worn out as well. When it gets worn to the point where I need to replace it, it will be replaced by a JDM center console (no armrest).

 

Someone on here made an "armrest condom." Basically a plastic cover for it. I bought a used one off somebody last year. So if you see a badgeless Type R at NOPI, it's mine

 

Mine is okay for now...I just hope it doesn't end up looking like ThePunks!!

 

Armrest Condom??
I thought... Condom was only for my thingy..(J/K) LOL...
where can I get one? I need it!!!!!!!!!!! come on.... I can't stand it anymore..

 

For JDM armrest (no armrest) can I move the Tag for my R number??
It seemed that it is located below the handbrake, right?

 

Ummm, don't you guys use your warranty to your advantage?????

You don't need a new badge, either. It's transferred over when warranty replaces it. I should know.

 

Yeah, whoever made it basically took the top pad off the armrest, wrapped it in plastic, and put it back on. Good idea, no? There were pics posted...

 

Warranty?? this thing is covered by warranty?? so I can just wear them off and Acura will replace it for free???
I thought except Air that we breathe, there's no such thing is free...

 

Man, if I can replace my worn-out arm rest for free under warranty then I am there tomorrow....

 

My ar reast was replaced with a JDM center console at 14,000 miles. The armrest has been placed into storage for many years to come.

Maybe suede cleaner?

I hope that the condom pic is posted soon.... looks real good.... kinda like shrink wrap.

Let's wait for you to get up to 32,000 miles and see how it looks bob...

 

How did u guys' arm rest get worn?(explain)
Did it lose its suede like finish?

Mine, after 40,000mi of use lost its suede like character so I took a damp towel(with mild home carpet cleaner & water) and wiped it off.

Mad dirt started coming lose and I figured that it was years' worth pile of elbow grease that caused it to look worn. There was so much crap on there, I had to wash and wipe numerous times. After I was done, it was restored back to its original shape.

If this is the case with you guys, don't use any harsh detergent.

 

Let's hear if anybody else out there gets theirs replaced under warranty, I'd be interested to know what they do about it.

 

After 80K, mine feels like leather

 

I just took it out!!! NO worries now!

 

Fog light switch goes on the left of the steering wheel (in the round hole) using a JDM/UKDM switch

Number plate (JDM/AUDM version) goes under the hand brake replacing the original rectangular plate.

Tell me that you are talking about the armrest on the doors.........and not that you American guys have an armrest centrally between the two front seats. Us Europeans have no central rest. Doesn't it get in the way when giving it 10 10ths ?????

 

Located between the seats.
It does get in the way (when at 9/10)... especially if you have long arms...
Fastening the seat belts is a lot easier with the centre console removed.


It is a arm-rest (with the number placard at the rear of it) with storage space under the armrest.
On each side of the hand brake there is provisions for 4 switches. One of which is for the USDM fog lights.

What is the price on a JDM Armrest? It isn't a Armrest, but you know what I mean.

 

And does anybody have a pic of one installed?

 

If you use your armrest all the time, the best thing to do is pick up a GS-R armrest in black. It's made out of tough fabric material and it'll last you a long time. As for the R armrest, just hang it on your wall.

Mine was purchased in Australia at a Honda dealer.

-who loves his "arm-rest removal kit"...

 

just lay a towel cloth over it for the majority of the time

 

If anyone is selling their armrest lid shoot me an email.
