#234208 I've noticed several online stores that sell OEM JDM armrest consoles. I for one don't care for an armrest. I always find then at my local junkyards for a few $$$. I was wondering what is the difference between the USDM v's JDM? Other than the high price listing.

#234307 There are 2, the "Longs" which went to the back seat and were meant for the gathers CD changer and were cloth top which matched the seats, then there is the optional short ones which were the size of the EX armrests in the U.S. Those were also clothed (or is it suede?) on the tops and had a cup holder instert, which is what most people here use them for cause the stock cup holders SUUUUCCCCKKKKK!.

Im not sure if they are still available from honda anymore though.

The short JDM armrest and the USDM arm rests are the SAME. The LONG ones are the only special ones JDM land got.
