it's me, Alan Rickman.
It doesn't look bad, but there is a section on the rear that would also need it to be complete..
edit:
... 6 pcs... i cannot read; so I guess that's the big pillars (2 each) on both sides and the smaller part between the rear pass and rear quarter windows (1 each) = 6 OMG I KNOW MATH!

i had them on my NBP, and it looked great. They flew off in the wind a few weeks later. the one on the rear window was the first to go. if they had stickier stuff i would get them again. they also didn't send enough of the activator with it. make sure u tell them to give lots!!!

I have the ones from "mimousa", which are about 2X the price of those (look on ebay and you'll see them for 89.99 - they say mimousa at the bottom). I think they look great on my WDP. I think they're better quality than the cheaper ones. They appear to be real Carbon Fiber, backed by 3M tape, then vinyl coated to protect them from the sun.
Sorry for the crappy camera phone pics, but I figure you guys would rather "see them now"...
Only thing I didn't like about the design is that the vinyl coating isn't "domed" or smooth. When th elight hits it a certain way, you get glare (can't see the CF), and you see the rough bumpy weave. I treid to capture it here in this pic:
Last note, installation.
If you use that 3M adhesion promoter, no way these are coming off. I'm pretty sure these will "go with the car" at this point. TAKE YOUR TIME when installing, becasue once that tape grabs, it's not coming off. I almost screwed one of the pillars off trying to adjust it.

I dont like it. To me they look... cheap. But my opinion is biased because I see so many civics and accords in my area that do that and I know it is not real cf.
Then they drive up to me, rev their little engine, and think they're all that.
