i appologize if this post should be in appearance/cosmetic, as i've seen alot of armrest-related post get locked in here, but i was thinking a few might be interested in this.

i found an armrest at the junkyard out of an 88-89 integra sedan. i think this one looks alot more generationally correct than the newer 94-up ones. the actual armest shape looks almost identical to the OEM civic/crx ones, except this one is longer (and i've read complaints from those who have the OEM civic/crx one that it sits too far back).

basically all i had to do is trim about 1.5" off the bottom and elongate the ebrake opening up top. other than that, it's almost a perfect fit. the armrest itself was a dirty tan/brown, so i recovered it in black tweed.




it sits kinda high (compared to 94-up integras), but it can always be trimmed down even more. i like it where it's at though.

 

looks pretty good, is the whole console out of the 88-89 teg?? but like you said, it does look a bit high.
I'd love to have an armrest in my car, but my interior's blue and its hard to find an integra with blue interior around here.

 

Its a CRX... looks good man!

 

That is out of a 4 door integra?

 

Is it a crx? or just a crx dash/console
cause the guy's name is Hammed Hatch, so I'm figuring he drives a hatch, unless this is for another car and I'm just being a dumbass

 

Sorry, I believe your right bro... I haven't slept in 2 days so Im not all here...

 

Dude, that is a kickass idea! Like the way it looks. I think i'll be heading down to the junkyard to do a little diggin

 

that looks nice as hell...i been lookin for an armrest for my hatch for ages...might ahve to check the local yards

what'd you use to trim it? just like a dremel?

 

Looks real good I wish I would have seen this before I spent $100 bucks on one for the CRX Oh well.
Oh and if that is the stock steering wheel in it that hatch and not a CRX no CRX ever came with a wheel like that plus I believe that those are Civic door panels as well cause the CRX's that have the material on the doors like that say CRX in them.....

what steering wheel is that!!

 

i have a hatchback but i put the CRX dash in it.

yeah i used a dremel and a razorblade.

the steering wheel's from an 88-89 Prelude.

and again for those who asked, i got the armrest from an 88/89 Integra 4 door.

looks dope dude! Damn, i saw one in the junk yard too and didnt pick it up since i thought it wouldnt fit...i also have a CRX dash but all of my interior is blue...armrest was blue too...i should have picked it up! Thanks for the informative post...time to go back to the junkyard and see if i can get it!

 

does it make it hard to release the ebrake ? its looks like it kinda of in the way

 

i'm skinny, so i keep my arm to my side when i shift and use the ebrake anyways, versus having my arm on the armrest or on the other side of it. so it's still comfortable to me.
