Looking sharp........Nice kit matches with black wood.

deye

that is nice!!!!!!! Where did u buy it from?

I purchased it off of ebay back in December for $110. Here is a link to the exact same auction from 6 months ago. I must say they are very good with service. At the time they did not advertise with or without Navigation and the guy took care of the Navigation piece and charged me no extra cost. Very good service. Here is the link.

Looks pretty good. Not bad for a $110 kit. Do you have any daytime pics?

Bitium

Looking good, but not as good





We got a similar kit, I just have my center console pieces and door wrapped in carbon fiber.

Hey bitium, haven't seen you post in awhile. Looking great (as always), expect why are you using such a cheap radar detector? :P

Bitium

lol....I knew somebody was going to say something about the radar. I trew it away.

I have been posting mainly on the 3rd Gen, yeah I know I want one.

Waiting for SH-AWD anyhow.

The CB looks good from this angle. Got any close-up shots of it??

I am looking to get my door wood and my center wood wrapped in carbon fiber also. Where did you get it done?

goldendragon576

looks good. I was thinking of doing that too. I saw the same auction and was thinking of getting it. That was around the time I got the irotors and pads instead. How long did it take you to install all the pieces? Did you clean all the surfaces with alcohol too or just stuck them on?

Bitium

It was professionally done!!! They were also dip in high gloss. I made a deal with Tim co-owner of this site.

I uninstall and installed his panels so he could get them carbon fiber. He send mines to the place that does the CF for free, he wanted to offer this service to you guys, but decided not to, because it is pretty hard to uninstall the panels from the door.

I think he told me it was like $150 a pair, so it was like $500 total. Don't know who did it.

RIGHT ON!

did you do yourself? any problems? how long?

i think it looks awesome! i've been wanting to do this to my car for a while now but i could never find the right looking one. all the aluminum trim that i've seen were brushed aluminum, which looks more rough and has horizontal lines if you know what i mean. the link that you put to e-bay says the trim is for BRUSHED ALUMINUM. is this the same kit that you have on your car? but the kit you have is very glossy almost like its been painted.

itloser

[QUOTE=Type-Sothea]That is the exact same item that I purchased and installed. It says that it is brushed aluminum, however it is synthetic. It looks like brushed aluminum with a clear coat on it. I personally think it changes the entire aspect of the car in a good way! Every piece fit perfectly and covered more then I had expected. Matter of fact their were a couple of pieces that I did not install becuase I thought that it would be too much. They gave me a piece for the sunglass holder, the homelink buttons, and the sunroof handle, as well as the back storage compartment and the rear cup holders. I didn't put any of those pieces on. For $110 IMO it was a great deal.

As far as installation it was a piece of cake. Use alcohol pads to clean the area the apply and hold for a couple of seconds. The tape that is on the back of the kit is like glue. They only give you 1 alcohol pad so partially through I had to make a Staples run and pick up a pack of cleaning wipes. (I used the same ones that are for laptop screens since it would go easy on the black plastic that was not being covered. Installation took MAYBE 2 hours, but that was with my girlfriend and I taking our time. She cleaned the area while I tested the fitment, heated up the the pieces, and applied them.

Oh 1 more thing, you either have to have a blow dryer or your defrosters turned to use heat (which is what I did). To warm up the pieces. That does 2 things. It makes it easier to remove the film over the tape as well as heats the tape up to stick even better. I would recomend this kit to anyone, it covers a lot more then the OEM kit for a fraction of the price. I hope that this has answered some of your questions. This weekend I am going to try and take a couple of daytime (not at night in my garage) pictures. I know that the kit appears yellow in some of the pictures, which I assure you it actually does not.

Hope this helps!

This looks great!! I wonder if it would look funny with my natural wood grain. I got an 03 Type S, I see you all have the black wood. Hmmm Thoughts?

itloser

IMO the aluminum look, looks best with either the black wood or another custom side panel. I don't know if I would go with aluminum with wood. Stick to the wood dash kit or get a couple pieces to cover the wood. I don't know where you would go about getting them, but I know that some members have it done already.

Shiffy

do they make aluminum side panels? cuz that looks sweet!

uncleb

hey, how did you get the chromed out acura symbol on the steering wheel??

johnny--2k
