I have a 2010 Honda fit sport and bought a second hand center console from someone on eBay overseas. This is before hearing about college hills.
There was some mis-communication and the seller thought I already had an original center console and this would be a direct replacement.
Truth is, I don’t. I never opted for it when configuring the car. Basically I got the console with a couple of screws and thats about it. I saw the video on college hills for installing this in a fit that didn’t come with it, and there are some small but aesthetically necessary parts that I would really need.
The console didn’t come with any of the caps and plugs that are shown in the video. For example, when the stock armrest is removed there will be a large gaping hole left over. There is supposed to be a cap that goes over that. The manufactures does not have these parts. Anyone have those parts for sale?

I contacted college hills about these parts and they basically told me I have to buy the entire kit from them... I am willing to pay for the extra parts but I am not willing to shell out practically $200 for another unit.

Measure the holes and pop on down to your local hardware store or home depot type place. They have generic plugs of lots of types. If what you find isn't quite correct a dab of black silicone sealer will hold a loose one in place.

ive been buying console parts at jcw. they have a cheap price for the parts and a very friendly staff. but try to compare it to other brands since you have an option on where to buy.
