Having no patience for the fact that Honda thinks us Canadians don't want an armrest - ordered one from a Honda UK dealer and installed it today.
Picture below (top is EDM/JDM version and bottom is from stock Canadian Fit). The cup holders are a bit different for the EDM/JDM version, see the final installation pics to see the differences. Sorry about the # of pics.
Taking the stock unit was actually quite easy, less than 15 minutes. Four screws/plugs and a few swaps and it was done. Notice the nice coffee stain on the passenger seat from day one of ownership - need to clean that up!
Below is the new cup holder (removable) at the front.
At the back, you get two slide out cup holders.
The glove box of the armrest is not huge.
The top of the armrest does slide out but don't really think I will use this function.
Below is the space available with the cup holders retracted.
Back view with cup holders extracted (below).
Overall First Impression: Being a JDM armrest, the quality is spectacular and matches the interior. I can't understand why Honda Canada or Honda USA would think that Fit owners would not want to buy this option. Those vendors who can bring this into Canada and US will sell a ton of these IMO!
