Leather Honda Insight Armrest pieces fit Civic?

bluehatch17 said:

The 2.0 civic sport coupe/sedan, comes with leather steering wheel, shift knob, arm rest/console, and door pieces. Considering the dealer wanted only $200 more for the sport than the LX I was looking to buy. These leather upgrades alone was worth it.

Good to know - I wonder if the Coupe pieces will fit the Si Coupe - I would love to have leather door / console pieces instead of the abrasive dirt collecting cloth

Are there any places that still have this? Honda parts online has it listed as backordered still and the paypal pending payment has dissapeared.

Ordered mine May 24, credit card was charged same day, on back order till June 12.
Also ordered from another place but was 25% more than first place so i cancelled, but they were only back ordered till June 2.
Yeah, it was only $50 difference but....im cheap, thrifty, (fill in your favorite word)... but im saving for a new grille, CAI, Rear motor mount, Hid lights,...
End links
Dashcam
Better tires
Rear sway bar
Mishimoto Intercooler (w/ pipes)

Edit Update: ALL my Insight Pleather Interior Pieces shipped after bring back ordred for 2 weeks, they arrive in two days on 6/20 by....USPS

Will let you know....

Almost bought the Insight. Very nice car.....

I assume the door armrest for the Insight will not fit on the the Hatchback.

Also I have a EX, so is there a replacement for the cloth that is above the door armrest for cheap? haha.

Correct, i bout some and they did not fit the hatch.....

I can confirm that the insight door arm rests do not fit on the hatch. In the images below the leather one I ordered is the blue one on the right, the cloth one I took off is the black one on the left. They are very close but the plastic support tabs on the back are just slightly different so it does not fit The center console pieces fit. However I already had ebay leather with red stitching on it which I liked, I did a decent job of installing it but there are still a couple spots where the fabric is loose. While the new center piece looks cleaner and more OEM I am not sure its worth $100 if all 5 pieces in the front are not the same.
I do have one question for everybody. For the drivers door armrest I ordered 83553-TMX-A51ZA, and when it arrived it came in a bag that had a sticker that said the same number. However on the actual armrest itself there is a sticker (4th pic) that says 83550TMX. So I am just a little confused about if it is the right part or not?
(I may be selling all 5 pieces depending on if I can return everything on not. Message me if you are interested )

I am assuming this doesn't fit the rear doors correct? Do the front door armrests fit?

@aymehr, I dont know for sure. The armrests in the pic are for the front doors. I did not buy them for the rear door armrests, however I would assume they would not fit since the front pieces do not fit.

I would like to give thanks to the posters who found and posted the correct part numbers and videos of how to remove
the door panels. I frequently use my LX to transport muddy dogs. I have seat covers & towels galore, but the arm rests
are impossible to protect. I never use my center console: it's just a step-stool for the dogs, covered with a couple of
towels. So it's really clean. I ordered the 4 armrests only from the online branch of a local dealer (Chicago western suburb):

www.hondasuperstoreparts.com

The fronts were approx $23 each, the rears approx $20 each.

I don't know how much they charge for shipping; I'm local, and they allow free pickup at the store, and that's what I
did. I ordered the parts on Monday, they arrived on Wednesday, and I had them installed the same day.
I'm very happy, I never would have figured this out on my own, thanks again to the people who did.

The 1 screw that holds the door panel in the center, and the 3 (rear) or 5 (front) screws that hold the armrest
to the door panel are actually JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) heads, not Phillips. I had never heard of these
things until I tried to take the screws that hold the brake rotors to the wheel hubs with a #2 Phillips bit in
and a hand impact driver (unsuccessfully). Googling around pointed me to JIS bits. It's not going to matter
at all if you use a standard Phillips head screw driver to remove these screws for the armrests that screw into
plastic, but if you ever try the brake rotor screws, it does matter. One source for JIS bits for impact drivers is:

https://www.mcmaster.com/jis-(japanese-industrial-standard)-screwdrivers

I first tried ordering some JIS bits off amazon, but they sent me #1 JIS instead of #2 JIS. Seemed to happen
to many people if you read the comments.

Here's a follow-up. I've had my new armrests in for about a week, they are great, clean up easily.
I finally took my bucket of tools and old armrests down to my basement to put stuff up, and I had
to decide what to do with my old very dirty from muddy dog feet fabric covered armrests.
I knew it was stupid to save them if I couldn't clean them up first. I'm lazy when it comes
to cleaning, and I saw the washing machine nearby. I said "what the heck", and loaded all
4 of the old fabric armrests in my washing machine and washed the armrests on cold water,
gentle cycle, using Woolite as the detergent. I let them air dry. They came out great,
looking brand new. I was concerned that the glue that holds the fabric to the armrest backs
might separate, but it appears to be unaffected. I didn't take a "before" photo, but I am
attaching an "after" photo.

So what are the part numbers now? I see earlier parts are discontinued now

I'm not sure there are any. I think they caught on to us.

https://parts.jimwhitehonda.com/ they have it all with fair shipping cost.
