Well Rooz called me extremely early this morning from the junkyard (well ok, 9:45... but he still woke me up, damnit! :rant: :D It was worth it though), and he said there was another SE-i down there. So I hurry down, and sure enough there she is, all smashed up front and back, and dirty as all can get inside and out. However, although dirty, the armrest was near MINT! Even better was it was my color too

I grabbed it, cleaned it up with some Lysol cleaner and a toothbrush, and here's how it turned out!

Not one single rip, crack, or tear in this leather! Still nice and smooth too

Not a bad way to spend $8.50 :D

I also got this spoiler off another 3g sedan. Upon closer inspection, I see this isn't a Honda factory spoiler, but rather that off a Nissan vehicle (at least that's what it says on the light). It's almost identical though (it has the LED bar too), just a little smaller. Now it just needs paint!

So now I'm happy...finally got my armrest. BTW... before anyone asks, cupholders are gone (ahem... 'somebody' bought them)

I finally got an armrest but in cloth and i think its one of the best things i did to the car. Mine was in mint condition also but another member mark found it for me. I have looked myself and not had any luck finding an Sei at the junk yard.

Hahaha. I can't wait to test the long 1100 mile drive with my full sei console. The leather isn't mint but it has a groove in it that fits my elbow perfectly and is quite comfy.

This may sound stupid too some of yall:stupid: but does that fit right into any other 3gen accord or is it specifically for the SeI?

It will fit into any 3g, you just need the back piece of the 3, to put the cupholders or the tape holders in you'll have to get the front 2, best bet is to find an Se-i with the entire center console still there!

Thx 88 Accord LTD. I just called a wrecking yard and they said theyll let me have the entire console i believe for $20-$25. Good or bad?:confused:

Not to get off subject, but Jared you haven't gotten your seatbelt latch recall thing. The plastic that goes over the buckels to keep them from breaking.

You might want to stop by the dealer and have them put them on for you.

Yeah they are pretty flimsy and woithout it its supposed to break apart in an accident. Thats the reason for the recall. My 91 Accord has the same recall cause it uses the same buckles.

did the center console come on the lx-i too?I went to the junkyard saturday and found one,it was teh smae color as my interior too(blue),but I just went there for a relay and didnt have enough cash,this car was really weird....it had so many options,sunroof,cupholders and the armrest and some kinda controls on the steering wheel for volume or some crap,guess its for the radio,should I go get it?hmmm....

who ever had it before must've played with it. i seriously doubt they ever came with radio controls on the wheel. that would be a mod, if that's what they were. the lx-i has the console, but no armrest or cupholders. go back and check it out. it was blue interior? hmmm i got black and tan.

Hmmm.... thanks for letting me know! I figured for sure the original owner would have had that taken care of cuz he never let anything slip, lol. But I'll give the dealer a call and they can check it out
