I want to put in an armrest but I also don't want to spend an arm and a leg on it. My local junkyard has a brown one in a sedan, my interior is black. Should I get it and paint it black or not bother at all? But if I paint it black it will stand out since it will look newer than the rest of the car

i would just get it and paint it.. i mean it is just the center. should not look that bad. or check you local honda dealer and get a new one. i think the integra stuff mite be moded to fit not sure tho. but good luck

well the aperiance seems to be your concern. so 67$ is a small price to pay to match 100%. or get used part in diff color and paint/dye it and will be off no mater what you do for 10 bucks plus paint and time to clean and prep and wait dry re install. its bout the same any way you look at it.or get a jdm one spend a lil more and be upgrading more. but that my apinion hope it helps.

I say go with the junkyard one... Redying wouldnt make it stand out in your car...if its in good condition.. why not
