They will fit the Left and Right CENTER console armrests, the crappy stock non leather ones simply pop right up and new ones snap right in. the Alcantara type R center console is a different piece, and needs some work to detach and replace, however they they are all universal for 10th gen Civics.
The Type R Alcantara door armrests however wont fit. The coupe doors are longer than the sedan or hatch so us coupe peeps are SOL.

Perhaps but still the center console armrest in the SI is horrible I would rather have it mismatch than deal with the Sandpaper on my right elbow

I actually don't think it will look bad. The Type R seats are not the same color as these are either, and the plastic trim on the Type R is the same shade as the pieces on the SI.

Wait a bit until the prices come back down to normal...too many are buying them and driving the price up
I found one for $136, which doesn't seem too bad. How hard is it to swap the steering wheel?

They're on there very tight, it's not easy to get them off, but at least it's a straight-forward job

Do I need any special tools like a steering wheel puller etc?
No I did mine in 30 minutes taking my time, common hand tools are more than enough. Only thing I had to buy was the torx bit, and I bought a hex head (allen key) socket so I could use a ratchet. I could have just done it with my hex keys though it was just easier since I could use a breaker bar to make the steering wheel come off easy.

Good to know, thanks.

$136 is better than it has been.
If you have an impact wrench, that helps a lot. If not, hopefully you have a breaker bar

I don't have either, but I could always take it to the auto skills center on base and use theirs.

Any particular impact gun? I looked on Amazon, but I'm not sure how much power I need, or what drive size, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 inch et.c.

I just have Ridgid ones from Home Depot since I'm an all-around DIY guy (redid two bathrooms, great room flooring, backyard trellis, other misc items, etc...)

Is 1/4 drive big/strong enough to remove the steering wheel?

yeah, this isn't a rusted/stuck suspension bolt, you'll be fine

Ok thanks. I didn't want to spend money on an impact gun if it isn't strong enough. I know those steering wheel bolts are torqued pretty tightly and have loctite on them.
