The fit sport only comes with a drivers side armrest no armrest on the passenger side. So this weekend I installed a Honda center console. Not a bad install took about 1.5 hours. Center console provides additional storage plus an armrest big enough for both driver and passenger. Pad on console slides forward or up and out the way. Console pad is done up with what appears to be nice leather and sticthing. Very nice upgrade for the interior. Leif

 

pics!!!!!!!!

 

are you still able to use the driver side arm rest with the console??

and PICS!?!?!?

 

No you cannot use the drivers side armrest. The kit comes with a cap to insert, which covers the threaded bolt holes that remain when you remove the drivers side armrest.

 

I'm looking for pics of the armrest also. Up, down, opened, forn the back, ect. Have you got any to post? the ones I find all seem to be the same shot.

 

Ive been wanting to install this for a long time. I think im pretty sold though.

Is yours MT or AT? Honda says that this cant be used on the MT because it will get in the way of shifting.

 

i wish you could post on some pics..

 

I have the center console on my MT. It doesn't get in the way. It works so well I don't know how I drove without it.

 

College hills honda has an installation video. Episode #154 - 2nd Generation Honda Fit Armrest Installation

 

Thats what I thought. Figured it was a way of preventing lawsuits or something.

 

This is a great video to watch if you are thinking about installing an Armrest. Shows you what the Armrest looks like after the install in all the postions. The only thing I would add is it is not a 5 minute install . Took me 1.5 hours. Leif

 

I don't remember how long it took me to install mine, but it was definitely not 5 minutes. I would guess it was around 1-1.5 hours like Leif's. One thing that set me back a while was dropping one of the bolts that held down the e-brake cable bracket. It fell under the carpet in the back seat, and I had to do a lot of digging around to find it.

 

so does anybody have pics with the armrest installed with a manual transmission?

 

I got the dealer to throw one of these in when I bought my base model. It was a must-have for me. I use the interior storage space all the time. And the flip up is great for when I move my car into a nice shady spot at lunchtime to slide over to the passenger seat and take a nap.

 

Just did the install today after watching the video a couple times and printing out the instructions. It took me about 45 mins total. Def a great add-on. I don't know what I did without it before. Now I have a place to put my sunglasses, garage door opener and reg/ins. info.

Highly recommended.

 

+1 for pic's!

 

pics or it didn't happen.

this thread is worthless without pics.

 

Have one on order, should be here by Monday the latest. Once I have it installed I'll take some pics an post them
