OEM Interior "carbon fiber" trim pieces

In case any of you didn't view this in my "Tribute to GR8 Pumpkin" thread, here are pictures I just took of the interior trim pieces. Adds alot of class and "luxurious look" to the interior of the car, I think.

Meter panel:



Side outlets:


Door switches:

I like them on the doors. Thanks for posting pictures I have been wondering what they look like installed.

I figured others would be curious since I had to take a gamble when I ordered the trim, having NOT seen any "real life" pictures.

That brings up a good point. If anyone has pictures of the "carbon fiber" B pillar trim on an '09, I'd love to see them! That one is around $250 CAD (installed at dealership) so I definitely need to view it before taking the plunge....

Can you take another shot of the meter trim more from the side? The shots you have show just a sliver of it and don't show its size.

Sorry! No more digital camera (borrowed from work) so can't take more shots. The 2 pictures I posted showing the meter panel trim are very accurate as to sizing. It IS just a sliver and doesn't entirely cover the "hood" over the gauges. College Hills Honda has good pics of the trim here:

Yeah, my favorite is the door switch trim too. Seems very "custom" somehow. I don't even see the meter panel trim since it's blocked by my steering wheel, but I still like having the pieces on the dash to tie in with the doors. To each's own but I'm glad I got them...

Any close ups on the exterior carbon trim. I would like to know how well it fits and the texture of the pattern.

The B-pillar trim? It is glossy-smooth, and fits perfectly

Just cleaned my car yesterday and the constant finger-prints and smudges on the black B-pillars is driving me nuts! Easy solution is getting the trim but it's something like $255 (plus taxes) installed up here in Canada...

Who's putting the finger prints on there? I don't think I touch mine. Is there a Venture Shield for it? Maybe you can just buy something equivalent and cut it to fit yourself?

Well mostly me! I'll see if I can manage to keep my hands off of the B-pillars since smudges/prints are really obvious. Well, I am going to get my Venture Shield touched up and some put on my door sills. Problem is I LOVE the carbon fiber look so the B-pillars would tie in nicely with all my interior trim. Oh and no more smudges! Just have to save up and get them later on. Winter will be here soon anyways so wearing mitts will avoid the smudges!

Where did you find them at $255? Maybe they'll be cheaper elsewhere? Ebay?

Maybe JDM DOHC SiR can help you?

That's the listed price at Honda Canada, which concurs with what my local dealeship charges (installed). You have to remember that I'm in Canada so getting anything from the US incurs duties/extra headaches. Ends up being far easier and ultimately cheaper (our CAD $ value is dropping!) for me to get stuff through the dealership.... Oh, it would be $255 CAD plus 13% tax = $288. Ouch....

Seriously, DO you ever sleep?

Lol. Currently I'm having sleep issues. One night I slept at midnight then woke up at 4 am, then walked outside for an hour then poked around here and then played a computer game then tried to go back to sleep at 6:30 am but couldn't. Stayed awake.

But man you get so much done while you're awake!
