I placed this order with OEM for my sedan yesterday. Center console is on backorder, hope it won't be too long. Sooooo pumped. Thank you so much for posting!I've seen this asked numerous times in several different threads, but just wanted to share the results of my cloth armrest swap to leather. My car is a 2019 Sedan and the parts are different for the Coupe from what I understand. And yes, the parts are a direct fit from an Insight. Same as a Civic, just a lot cheaper!
I bought everything from OEMPARTSOURCE.com and didn't have to wait for more than a week. Something was backordered but it still arrived on time.
Anyways, super easy upgrade and totally worth not having sandpaper on my forearms all day. Hope this helps the community.
Note* Just FYI, the stitching is gray and not red. Personally, I don't mind at all since it still matches the gray accents in the seats. I would assume no one would ever notice.
UPDATE: I did the install and love the result. The doors were the the most challenging for me, but the video earlier in the thread shows exactly what you need to do. Last step is dying the thread, which I'm going to do with the Marvy's fabric markers (see later in the thread). I never would have taken this on without the support of the posters here and the how-to video. Thanks!!!
