Different arm rests?
Are the differences in these arm rests S4 vs S5? Which would be correct for a 1986 base model?

Thanks, new to the FC. I've seen some that hinge at the rear and others on the side, is it a difference in year/model for this change and difference?

See j9fd3s elaboration above...I tend to only think in terms of the US models, and the coupes for that matter.
