Only person that has it, AFAIK, is Derek. You might want to try and get in touch with him to see what he thinks. I would imagine that it's the exact same as the current armrest, only wider.

I thinking of buying the larger armrest, because the Honda armrest has been withdrawn from the European market. They claim is presents a danger in gear shifting so they withdrew it.

looks a bit weird.

if u can, u might as well switch to the 03's center console/armrest.

I'm sure the 03 console/armrest is much more than the cost of the wide armrest. The fabrics are not the same as the 01/02. And, it's longer so it may get in the way. The wide unit is the exact length & height as the factory unit!

I like not having one. Armrests are for automatics.

I like my elbow rest. My elbow rest on the armrest and my hand on the shifter. The armrest (elbow rest) has never inhibited my ability to shift in any way. Seems like if it does, you must have very long arms.

Anyhow, I am considering the wider version. The look doesn't appeal to me. However, I am getting tired of sharing my rest with passengers that insist on claiming it as theirs.
