It's easy and cheap to do.

@dmitri I just picked up my sedan yesterday. From what you said its ~600 for the components. Now debating if/when I'm gonna do it still getting used to the car (at the detailer getting tint and clear bra thru tomorrow).

What did you have to actually yank when the 3 screws are removed. I'm gonna order these and don't wanna break anything.

I used the part numbers that were listed earlier for the coupe. I got the 2 door armrests and the leather console with 2 leather side pieces. I hope it's accurate.

Came to $291 shipped. Door armrests were $24 a piece. Was any of this stuff back ordered for any of y'all?

Thanks, it was super easy.

When I ordered the parts they were not backordered. Once the screws are removed use a panel removal tool or Flathead screwdriver (very carefully) to start prying the bottom of the panel off. Once you get a few of the clips released you can start working your way around the panel using your hands to pull it off. If you take your time and do it carefully you shouldn't have any issues

What "panel" do you remove. The cloth panel piece or the entire door panel or what. Sorry for my dumb question. you said it was easy. Hope it is. Looks to make a huge improvement too.

Sorry, I should have been more clear, the entire door panel needs to be removed because there are five screws holding on the armrest that are only accessable from the inner side of the panel.

No worries. One more question. I saw some people mention switch panel needs removed or something too. Is that true? Was there other stuff that had to be unplugged removed

And is there a DIY for replacing the center console?

The switch panel does not need to be removed on the Si at least. There are three connectors that need to be unplugged on the driver's side and one on the passenger side. The center console is super easy, the two side pieces just pop off and the center part has two screws at the front of the armrest, once removed, you can just pop that off as well. Although I ordered the center console replacement, the only part I used was the padded leather piece that I just transferred over to my center console.

I guess I shouldn't have suggested to yank on the door panel...I've literally removed hundreds of door panels and kind of have a nack of where and how hard to pull.
I pull them off in 1 swoop...most of the time. Honda's...all of the time

Yeah it seems like you're going to break something but you really won't. Also thanks again for the advice.
