Type R parts on an SI

Archangel said:

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.

Does this mean they fit the sedan?

Yes the sedan doors are the same as the hatch and will fit.. The coupe doors are longer and thus coupe owners are sol....It's a shame since mine are already showing signs of wear due to their crappy fabric...

I seem to recall seeing a thread that said they did not fit. IIRC the door pulls were the same size on the two vehicles, the bottom mounting points were in different locations between the two.

If I remember correctly the part numbers on Honda parts now.com
Show the same part numbers for sedan and hatch. The coupe parts are a different number
I have to verify...

finally got that type-r under brace to ship, should be here today

If they were the same part number, why would you swap? They would be the same exact part.

Based on the diagram on this site, it looks like it would just be #20, #21, and #26. Looks to be about $300 total.

EDIT: Looks like the poster above beat me to it.

This is nice...I work at Porsche parts department and we get people trying to change their belts with color ones as well. Although the cabriolet don’t work with the coupes. I don’t see why the type R be different for the Sedan and hatch. I like this alot and will be on my furture plans.

Take those arm rests into the shower with you ... and use them like a "loofa" ... damn great to exfoliate with!
(I think what most people are complaining about the material getting dirty is just where it has scrapped off a few layers of skin! I have solved this by wearing a long sleeve shirt, when I can.)

Get the Type R armrests! When I had my 10th gen SI, the arm rests were the worst thing about the car - they were like sandpaper. The suede is way, way more comfy!

Hey guys, my wife really wants some sort of carbon fiber interior panels for her SI after she saw the oem kit I put on my type R. Have any of you ordered anything after market that looks decent? I’m skeptical of the $40-$50 kits plastered all over eBay. And it seems the surround for the shifter is all intended for automatic models. Any help is greatly appreciated.

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.

A breaker bar in a Harbor Freight store will only cost you less than $20. Believe me, having one is just a great investment specially if you're in a garage more than your man-cave, oh wait, our garage IS our man-cave! lol!.

The grill fits if anybody was curious.

By chance do you remember if it was the Ferrari red color or the Elegant red when you bought from the safety store?
