I just ordered the front as well. No need for the rear piece. I think I have a pic somewhere of the front piece trim and if you search there is a pic of the back piece on the site.

Hmm, I was thinking of getting them, but now that I see them I don't want them.

Thanks for the pics! Can anyone take a pic as an overall, so we can see how the entire mid console looks. Thank you.

what car is that, i thought only the type s came with carbon trim...did you do the whole car or is it indeed a type s...if its a type s then how did you get all black leather...i would have liked that option better than the taupe, i went with taupe because i didnt like the black and silver leather...

I'm a little scared on getting the CF piece for the back AC/heater.. people are constantly in and out of my car and most of them are girls, so they don't care how they get in or get out, which leaves scuff marks on it.. i don't want scuff marks on CF x.x

They're like plastic covers that you put on with double sided tape I believe. I'm stil contemplating whether I should get the wood front or not

exactly man!! You should see my sill plates, lol. They wear all those heels and platforms or whatever and stab my whole interior! The rear one is overpriced. At least get the front console one, it's worth it.

Still the CF look better in person than in pictures. Really gives that finished off look.

Anyone else have the rear console carbon fiber trim? I have installed the front trim, but can't decide if I like how the rear trim looks.

i have it all, but the back didnt stick that well because it didnt match up perfect with all the bends and folds in it. i just used some silicon glue and it all worked out fine. i really like the way it looks, i highly recommend it

This is how my car came. I personally love it. Beats the wood trim.

yep, thats how the black interior came before 07....you can get the 2 acura oem optional carbon fibre pieces to compliment the rest of the trim....one piece goes over the seat heater switches, and the other goes over the cup holder area...they make a rear kit, but i didnt do that....

Guys, I got the OEM kit and didn't like it because it is so dark, you can't see the difference between the dark and the silver threads in the carbon fiber. If you go to www.nycdashes.com, they've got excellent carbon fiber interior trim kits that go inside the whole interior. I've posted pictures before, but I'd be happy to post again if you want to see it.

The kit is very good, looks excellent and is very worth while.

Hey vinnier, did u get yours at ebay? The cheapest i've seen these are about $80 - and that's not incl. shipping. Mind you, this was about 2 months ago...i've always wanted to get these!
