Hey buddy, go to the exoticwooddashcom site. They offer the extra kit like I installed but it is now available in multiple finishes and one of the choices is the carbon fiber to match your OEM pieces. They are the exact same piece location covers that I did in the plood. Dolphin Realty opens on June 1 by the way.

I will update you with cards when they arrive.

Bruce

The trim around the dash is a bit too much but otherwise, looks very nice.

I purchased the Basic kit from exoticwooddash.com, WD541E, $152+shipping. Decided to only use what I felt were the pieces that Acura left out; above the glovebox, the power window switches on all 4 doors, the sideview mirror switch, around the beverage holder on the console, and the overhead light/homelink. I thought adding the plood around the audio, the Nav, and the A/C vents might be a little too much with the Camel interior. Wanted to keep it subtle, yet appear to be factory to those not familiar with the car. Each of these flexible pieces peel right off a flat board and were surprisingly easy to install.

Kool! I like it. There was another post where the fella (why is it always males) used every piece and it looked overdone and gaudy! THIS is tasteful. I'm assuming the added pieces match (can't really tell via photo) with the original and won't fad with sun and time. Are there trim pieces for the rear door window openers?

Do you have to press it on and does it have to be spot on the first try. Can it be wiggled around to get an exact fit? Can it ever be peeled off? Does it exactly match original pieces? Photo Flash color is hard to tell. It does add a nice highlight to the monolithic black of the dash. Hell I may spring for this myself. Thanks

Did someone say these pieces can be peeled off later if I decide to do so? I lease and some cars I turn in and some I keep. At this point in time I plan on keeping this puppy, BUT if they come out with a sh-fwd and other goodies too impressive to pass up in 36 months then who knows . . .? Peel off or not peel off that is the question?

Any updates? How is the kit holding up over time and through the heat?

All feedback is good. Thanks.

I too would like to get a kit that would just change the existing wood pieces to another color. I do like the wood, but I think carbon fiber or something else might look even better with camel interior...
