it doesn't look good

sigmachi96

I get a lot of compliments on the look as the link to the post is my car. I personally wouldn't pay over $200 but for the $60 I got off of eBay, it was definitely worth it.

i have it and i feel it completes the look of the interior... you already have this metal trim on the dash and this just completes it...

cmschwartz59

I have it also and I like it very much. The OEM kit has just enough pieces to complement without going overboard. If you have the blue LED conversion it looks even better!

I saw it in person and I didn't care for it. The fact that they are metal 'stickers' on top of the panels is what really kills it. If they were replacement panels, I'd be all over it, but its clear they don't lie flush and a bad job fitting it can make it look even worse.

Do you guys know, where I can find some of that 06 carber fiber lookish center panel?

Looks exactly like the one I posted just less expensive which is better. Please post pics of the trim and let us know if the fitment is good.

hawaiiantsx

actually, i ordered just the panel that has the "tsx" on it from that link i showed you, and i ordered the rest of the panels from these guys....it was cheaper because they dont charge me shipping...the first link wanted to charge me 50 bucks for shipping...

This is the driver side door. All 4 doors have the metal -look plates on the handles.

drigo

wow..those look nice..i'd like to get the dark burlwood..i think it would look good with ebony interior...my old CL had that color combo..i wonder how the fitments are...anybody order from this place?

TSX420J

WOW where did you get yours from it seem to look like a very good fit.

hawaiiantsx

the only one i found with the "tsx" logo on the compartment was from the first link that i posted....i could be wrong though

TSX420J

Yeah, The one I posted also has the TSX logo so I want to be sure because I remember a member here has the trim with the TSX logo but it looked like
a very bad fit...

TSX420J

Here is one pic I found it seems to have alwright fitment..

S14 n Tsx

I'm talking about the real 06 ones. Its not a trim...Its a whole thing.

CSpaR

I like the fit of this one. I've been thinking of a darker color. Something in black-ish like Titanium Burl.

TSX420J

Oh, I have never seen it..

S14 n Tsx

I like it alot. You should head over to Acura dealer and check it out. I'm just scare of the price.

TSX420J

I'll check it out this friday when i do my service..

I sat in an ebony TSX on the showroom floor that had the metallic kit installed. It was obvious that the pieces sit on top of the existing panels. You really notice it around the cup holder door, the center console and by the fact the the window switches become more deeply recessed. The cup holder door pieces even also scraped against each other as the door moved, even though they looked properly positioned. Worse yet, some of the edges had flash and/or were rough. I had contemplated the metallic kit up until then because I though it'd be nice on the door pulls. But seeing them up close and personal sealed their fate for me.

Wish they offered the metal trim piece that goes on the inner door handles like on the JDM Accord:



Or similar to the JDM Inspire (which has wood), a metal piece in the rear doors that match the front doors....not sure why they put it in the front but not in the back for the TSX:

S14 n Tsx

I don't think you understood what I was talking about. Its wasn't the metallic kit. It was the whole oem panel.

TallestTSX

As nice as that looks in the pictures and as much as I would like the silver look throughout, I'd have to see those in person before I'd go that route.

WOW Is that like a Titanium Burlwood? I like it. I was thinking of getting the aftermarket set in a black-ish color. I think the center console and around the shift knob would look reall good. Can anyone PhotoShop this? I suck at it.

Waiting for an update...

TSX420J

Whoops, I forgot to look at the trim on the '06. The people at the dealer tried to put regular oil in my car when the oil cap says 5-w30 which is synthetic. That just sidetracked me. Luckily I asked and caught them right on time.. Next week I'll be going back so I will try to remember. Sorry

hawaiiantsx

what do you mean thats synthetic????

TSX420J

Sorry dont mean to be off topic but, Synthetic oil is 51 percent synthetic and 49 percent conventional. It just helps lube better and is cleaner than conventional.
I called acura customer service and asked just to be sure and they said that it doesnt matter if I use conventional or synthetic oil, it just has to be 5w30. I thought 5w30 was synthetic but they have two types.

hawaiiantsx

yeah...thats what i thought you meant about 5w-30 only being synthetic.....its not....but there is synthetic blends and then pure synthetics also

S14 n Tsx

doh!! I will go to Acura tomorrow and found out myself. gosh!

For those who have gotten a kit online, not the OEM kit, how well does the color match up to the OEM metal-look pieces already in the TSX (the dash/door trim)?

I was thinking of getting this one, but not sure which of the four metallic choices would best match the pieces already in there, and was hoping someone here already had some info.

Color Choices:
http://www.dashkitspecialties.com/colorsint.html

Under the Modern Colors, either the Real Brushed Aluminum, Chrome, Aluminum, or Brushed Aluminum... can't quite figure out which one looks most like the stock pieces.

For $144 though, it seems like a good price compared to other kits...
