Thanks for looking. My name is Greg Spilman--I've been 3D printing car parts since 2013 and have sold and shipped parts to over 20,000 customers worldwide.
The Gregparts CRX Arm Rest is an assembly of 8 unique 3d printed components. All components are interchangeable with OE. The arm rest is designed to drop in like a normal OE part, but it is thicker and stronger than the originals (having not been exposed to 30 years of sunlight and heat).
For now this product ships without upholstery. The upholstery process is easy--just glue on foam and fabric. I may offer an upholstered version in the future. The arm rests can also be sanded and painted to look a little more stock. Please email me for a video on this from me if interested.
These arm rests need metal brackets to get the best installation experience. The brackets secure the arm rest base to the passenger and driver's seats (under 1 screw center rear). Without these brackets, the arm rest is only mounted to the flimsy handbrake console, and it feels flexible. The brackets make it feel solid. At present I don't sell the brackets--please contact me for a source for them if interested.
Note that all arm rests have minor physical defects. Most noticeably there are small voids in the layers where the printer crossed from one end to the other and oozed a tiny bit of extra material. These are found as small ridges when you run your hand along the parts--though they aren't very noticeable in the darkened car interior. Please contact me for details.
All parts come with installation instructions and specifications.
All domestic orders ship via USPS with tracking for $10. International shipping is $45 also via USPS. I ship worldwide!
Returns will be accepted within 30 days for any reason. The warranty period for these parts is 2 years. You can contact me anytime for any feedback or questions.
The development of this product took me 14-months--most of the time was spent selecting high-temperature and performance/durable materials and perfecting printing techniques for these. Each arm rest takes more than 60-hours to 3d print and uses 1kg (2 pounds) of plastic in the fabrication. I've found that there's about a 10% chance the fabrication process will fry something on my printer (due to the strain of long printing cycles). It's a ridiculous product--it's an example of pushing the FDM 3d Printing process to its limit. I humbly hope that some will consider it a work of art in engineering.
ONE LAST THING!! When you buy from me you are not only improving your classic Honda's usability and value, but you are fighting back against people who overcharge for rare OEM parts by buying a replica at a cheaper price. Your support will enable me to reproduce more rare and desirable Honda parts at a fraction of what people think they can get for OEM NOS parts. Suddenly the OEM rare part isn't as valuable when the replica becomes available. Thank you for choosing to support my mission and my small business with design and manufacturing out of San Jose, California, United States!! -Greg Spilman
