    the best $25 mod ever!

    ...so I just got back from the junk yard where I came across an 89 LX-i. This little biatch was loaded to the brick shithouse. I took a peak inside, and there it was... ...a full armrest and tape holder console. I quickly whipped out the trusty phillips head and within seconds it was mine! This one also came with factory fog lights. ...yeah that's what I thought too.

    The fogs were smashed to shit, but b/c they were factory there was a factory switch. That one made it's way into my pocket.

    Anyway, I go up to Dave (the owner of the j/y) and he's like 25 and it's urs. I was like done, then walked out and let out one hell of a WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    Nice find man...good job. I gotta go visit a j/y one of these days and see what it has to offer. I'm currently gonna call this place where they are selling K&N Air Filters for about 40% off...hell of a deal. Gotta get the # from a friend.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Mine came with an armrest. hehe, I like that I can store things in it, and put my arm on it (rubs it in your faces)--LOL, just kidding, glad you found one-those foglights are very open for curb damage though, be carful parking.
