I just haven't gotten around to calling, but the cluster install you can do yourself in the parking lot of the Acura dealership. Ask them to sync the new one and be done.

They have an OBDII Acura Diagnostic tool and they basically use that to do a bunch of electrical/programming things. I don't think it would be too expensive.. but who knows.

How much did it cost you to get that done to the trim pieces? Looks damn good, wish I saw this earlier as I'm local and would have been willing to trade+cash.

I really wanted to get at least $100 + swap but oh well.
At least I get new pieces and have someone else do another set and hopefully they come out perfect

You can leave the cf on

I gave them an option to redo them or give me a refund. (I would lose $250.00 for the price of the core parts)
They said they would issue refund; I sent them the package, they refused it

It came back to me, I disputed the charge, it was denied.
Then they were contacting other vendors telling them to look out
for me because I was out to screw them. That really pissed me off

It's been a headache but I got my money back after a couple months from CITI

Well some of the edges aren't perfect. the back left has like an indent in the resin, and the button fitment is slightly off. little things like that. It looks REALLY good. but for $750 i would't be happy with it either.

iCrap love the bokeh with the CF. Looks really cool.

Personally, the coloured CF is not a look I'd rock. But it looks great in these pictures. Sorry it didn't work out for you kosta. Since you're doing this again at another shop, you going for the same colour/look? Or something else entirely now that you've gotten a glimpse of how it looks on the car?

it looks good on black because it has a touch of flash

it looked too busy in my car with grey (that looks like tan)


I had a set made in normal cf in feb 2014, I was tired of waiting for it, so I had this set made
and figured I would do something different and I would sell the other if I ever receive it. Still dont have it

I'm about to blast him on everyforum out there

Are these the same people that are trying to blame you for sabotaging their business? At least, that's what I recall happened.

The guy that did the copper ones was telling the guy the did the first ones that i'm out to rip him off

Yet they are both shady vendors who want top dollar to deliver so so work
not sure what to do, I have an email chain over a year long..If i were in Chicago, i'd take him to court
