Swapping out Passenger Pad along dash/center console

[ZeroGSR]

I have my red interior ITS on the way shortly (fingers crossed) and I wanted to subdue the red a bit. Looking at swapping out the large ITS specific pad that runs on the passenger side with black. (yes, feel free to message me if you want the red one, LOL). Has anyone removed theirs or having any tips on how to remove it? Hoping I can get to it with out pulling the center console. Will be swapping out the console cover as well. Sadly doors appear to be single pieces from Honda.

If anyone with black rear seats wants some red ones, I will gladly swap as well

Lol. Make that two of us.
I found this in the parts manual.. looks like two clips hold it on

Oh or you can buy one

Wasn't sure what the self tapping screw was doing, worried I would have to access it. But looks to just be holding the clip bracket in place? Already ordered this and the console cover mostly to appease my better half I got it for $115 though, think the console armrest was $75.

Wish I could keep the door inserts but swap the arm rests but doesn't look possible.

Question : so I have a 2023 Integra aspec tech , I want that red passenger pad along the center console/dash. Would you be willing to just do a straight up trade my black for your red?

As an update, tried 4 different online stores, all eventually canceled my order saying Acura has the parts on backorder with no timeline for production. Probably best, would prefer the black Type S arm rest with contrast stitching.

So to my surprise what arrived at my door today, but my black passenger pad! My orders were all cancelled, not sure how they got ahold of one. I just wanted to point out, while it appears it's only held on by 2 clips, that is very, very wrong... It's got a lot of clips.... Will have fun swapping them...

Photos? Thinking a pry tool should work?

 

[ZeroGSR]

Yeah, I think it should be ok, hoping most of the clips are removable with a little force once you get one edge off. Will see once I get the car.... Also if anyone is interested, I got a quote to reupholster the interior and it's way too expensive. Basically they were quoting around $300 per piece and they didn't think they could do the door panels, only the arm rests on them. So will see if I can get some Black Type-S door panels and center armrest at some point, as well as front headrests.

Did you ever go through with this? Oddly enough, the ITS I'm looking at has red interior but had the black dash pad installed. So I'm thinking about swapping it out for a red one after I buy it.

 

[ZeroGSR]

Yes, it's a very easy swap. My old red one is at Overland hopefully getting wrapped soon. I also did the armrest, headrests, and door panels all from the black ITS. I personally like it a lot better, still plenty of red, but not quite as much.

Yeah you do have to pop up the gloss console piece some. I just pulled on it to remove. The far left does slide in so pry on the far right side.
