Default center armrest

Does anyone know the parts I need to put a center armrest into my 91 crx. There is a picture of what I'm talking about in the new Honda Tuning. An article about a supercharged crx and I noticed it had an armrest. Any help would be great. Thanks

the OEM armrest is a one-piece deal - i have one in my crx. they show up on ebay once in a while but they are very hard to find (actual CRX ones, HB and sedan ones will fit but they are different). there is also an aftermarket one you can get here: http://www.husco.com/cgi-bin/ePages..../www.husco.com

Does the 90-91 sedan or hatch have the armrest. I remember hearing that it will fit right into the crx.

iw will be easier to get a 94-00 integra armrest...it will run you about $100 for the armrest and center console (complete with cup holders ) if you need more info on how to install or the parts you need just let me know...

Why do these arm rests cost so damn much? I actually found a stock oem for a 89 crx si which will fit in my car for 25 bucks in perfect condition. Is that a good price? But seriously why do they cost so much? Espeicially if it's jdm I can understand because of the name brand and all but it's rediculious.

it's all about demand...if a lot of people want them then prices are going to be high, if there was no need for them prices would be dirt cheap.

they are hard to find because it was an option. JDM or USDM, they are the same, but because no 88-91 civic (CRX, HB or sedan) came with it standard, they are rare, and even more rare in good condition. also, because they were an accessory, honda no longer makes them. i paid $125 for my CRX one (OEM). and yes, the HB's and sedans had the optional armrest as well, and as i already said, a HB or sedan armrest will fit, but they are different from the CRX one, if that matters to you. i personally wanted an OEM CRX one. my boyfriend has a 95+ integra armrest in his 91 civic hatchback and it looks good but it is kinda wide and i personally don't think it would look right in a CRX. just my $.02

Oh well I dont' plan on spending 125 for one. I have a friend that is going to sell me one for 25 bucks. It's a stock oem one for a 89 crx si. it looks really good imo.

its basically the whole center console from the integra- it includes the shift boot part and parking brake piece. its two pieces but looks stupid if you don't have both pieces. i still say it only looks good in hatchbacks but if you wanna try it go for it and prove me wrong
