I hate the fact that the carbon fiber trim is fake!! I have been considering replacing it with real carbon fiber trim. The problem is that I think it will look like crap because these kits go on top of the factory pieces. Therefor they will stick out a bit. Also I wonder it the slots in front of the shifter will even open as they pivot and the trim is close already. Here is link to the one I am looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...spagenameZWD1V

Has anyone here installed real carbon fiber, and if so pics please!!!

I am not an expert but I don't think the kit is real carbon fiber either

search for "blue carbon fiber" in the pic gallery

It can be done but will cost you. This is what I did on my:

whoa even the pattern matches on both pieces...


well, i guess you can't really control the pattern on all pieces....

KB1Spec

Actually the pattern on the blue and the grey or opposite. Hardest part is doing the door trims because the silver and the faux carbon fiber are not removable

Sorry..but I can't see it. The patterns give me a headache...and it's hard to tell what is real carbon fiber..and the fake. The TL looks pretty good the way it came from the Factory IMHO. Zebra anyone??

both blue and grey are real carbon fiber.

HOLY SHIT BATMAN!! Looks awesome! DO you think the kit would look this good if I took my time with it How did you get it to contour around the sides of the center console??

the type s isnt the only car that you can get with the fake carbon fibre...black interior cars came with it....

so i'm guessing you are not looking for something like this?

^ is that real cf or just the stick on stuff?

I think that and the one posted in the first pic are stick on. Not that it matters to me but TLAdvanced wanted real cf so I think ua6spec is the only one here.

iTrader: (1)

ya it is real... handmade myself

TLAdvanced

iTrader: (4)

you made the kit yourself?? Or do you mean you installed yourself??

iTrader: (1)

UA6, where can i get that real CF trim??

sol_da_man

the interior CF trim looks real enough to me. i imagine that it shaves off a lot of weight when i'm burning through the 1/4 mile.

i'm pretty sure the ebay stick on stuff is fake.

btw, ua6spec's interior looks teh sex. props.

I really don't want to be negative, but isn't the whole point of carbon fiber that it is light? So if you add more real CF over the fake CF doesn't that kind of defeat its purpose?

On the other hand... the pics by ua6spec are really cool. I like that for sure.

You don't even need the Ebony interior, my quartz interior has CF accents as well.
