One cf guy had them for over 2 years, lost small doors, lost little silver tabs, messed shit up. Had to buy more console parts for the missing stuff.
Sent them to another guy, he fixed the mistakes, they look amazing.
All the holes were cut precisely, straight weave, he did what others couldn't do.
Sale is pending, upon installing them, I just didn't like the way they looked on a light interior...I wish I had an all black interior, then I would keep them.

Dude. You are either certifiably insane or the most patient and humble person ever!
You should just laminate $100 bills to all those pieces in the car... Would probably be cheaper.
So, are you pursuing anything else now or sticking to stock?

I have a wagon, hard to get a black LHD roof liner and surrounding parts otherwise I would do it. Plus I sold Rob some of those parts as I was collecting them to do it to my sedan back in the day lol..
Just doing the custom rear diffuser, folding mirrors, new bbk, and possibly new wheels.
That cf project was literally the biggest problem ever dealing with a vendor who is supposedly top notch. Imagine texting, calling, threatening someone for 2 years for parts already paid for. Just glad they're going to someone who will appreciate them.

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
Oops thought they were wagon headliner that was somehow ebony since robpp owned a wagon (guess that doesn't make sense since only SE has the ebony liner).
How come you're selling the folding mirrors? They're not working out for you?

can you please elaborate on the cf trim. Amazing pieces. I love the dark wood parts on the SE, but I must admit. Those cf pieces look great. Am I understanding these are custom one off parts? If so..... bummer

The wood trim on the SE is plastic cover that's hydrodipped, it's not real at all. It's just a film.
My pieces are the oem pieces covered in real carbon fiber and resin, then clearcoated and polished. They are all custom but on oem parts so the fit is oem.

iselfdevi beat you to the folding mirrors. His look sweet, and work perfectly. I think you should do switch back LED's in the mirrors though, I couldn't convince him to do it! So you should!!

If you click on it, it does. I also I have "Hover Zoom" extension on my Google Chrome, and it plays when I put my mouse over top of the picture!

HEY... btw, I thought you said those ebay paddle shifters didn't fit? I guess you made it work?

Sweet! Do you have them wired up to fold when you lock the car?

I sent the paddles back and they sent me different ones that work. The original paddles were for the new spirior (tlx)
I bought the module so they could fold with lock/unlock, but I couldn't figure it out so I sold it. The buyer couldn't figure it out so it could be for sale in the marketplace on here? not sure.
