i tried posting this on clubel.ca, but it wont let me activate my account.

its the center console part where the cigarette lighter is.

will this part from the acura el fit my 98 civic hatch??? It looks like it would fit, and arent the civic and el interiors basically the same??

yes it will fit however you will have to change the cup holder center console (the part that goes over the shifter and cup holders) for a proper flush fit.

it will, but you'll have to replace the cupholders and mounting behind it as well, they arent interchangeable

:edit:

nm, i see it was answered already!

never tried just to change one, always changed both. i know when you take the center console out and compare the two there are some differeces. the civic one is taller cuz the civic cig lighter doesnt hang as low. so if you take teh EL one and put it into the civic i imagine it will hang lower and partially cover that pocket of yours located above teh cupholders.

cool, so.. one more question... if i get the other parts (cover over cupholders ----> to cover over the shifter) will everything bolt up then ??

basically, is the armrest peice gonna bolt right up if i get the other peices from the El.

man, that didnt make any sense, but i think you might now what im talking about. :dunno:

cool.

i'll probably just leave them clear anyhow...

do you have any pics of your interior, i'd like to see what the el center console looks like in there, or any pics of how flush it fits would be nice too .

thanks :thumbsup:
