Yes painted. I called about 8 different dealerships that all quoted me in that price range. Bernardi was a little better, in the 450 range i think. ...382 was the best price I could find online without shipping included( Hondapartscheap.com), and I just so happened to find a dealership that was willing to price match it.

Re: Diy cai
Thats a negative unfortunately, the stock box pulls air from the coolest place in the bay that's fed from the fender. That's why intakes like the PRM are so short and routed the same place as the stock box to use that duct. I wouldn't bother with the wrap it's not going to make much difference, especially if you've got other uses for the money. If you're bored go for it lol.
There is an unsealed rubber channel attached to the hood that "directs" air from the front grill to the back of the engine bay. I assume some of the air flow makes the jump down from the rubber channel along the hood to the intake tube on the stock air box. But it has to be sucking hot engine air as well.
I'm not saying it's the best solution.
But my gut tells me a straight tube from the front grill has a better chance of cooler air then my original setup. And cooler air can make a significant difference... although probably NOT enough to be noticeable on a small 1.5L.

While I do not track my mileage on EVERY tank, I have found out that my AVG MPG meter onscreen is 0.9 MPG higher then what I find at the pump.
I just look at that before I fill up. Every time I top off, I clear it.
Nice, looks good!

They look great! I need to get a set of these soon.. I'm currently running OEM all-weather mats like you were, and I'm not that happy with them.

I just got the rears too, will upload pics soon. I'm with you. Before hastily pulling the trigger, I had seen reviews that people were having problems with their weathertechs sliding (it's what I hated most on the OEM passenger one). Since having them in, zeeeeeeero sliding. But because of the back velcro design, it does take just a wee bit longer to take them in and out to clean.

Those look great jdmj0. I've got the same issue with the oem ones sliding around all the time. I've tried to attach Velcro pads to them but that doesn't seem to work. I was thinking of trying this before resorting to new floor mats.
I guess aside from price, the only upside to getting new mats is that they physically cover more area. But, if money is an issue, I really like this DIY hook install.
Here are pics of the rears:

I wish I had these two weeks ago when a drink spilled into the back driver side. The OEM mats did not hold the liquids in because of the slope of the rear floor and the fact that the oem mats didn't have a high enough wall. Love that these new ones have a high wall. Would have saved me the trouble of steam cleaning my car. The perks of being a detailer I suppose haha.
Lastly... the 3/3 part of my early Xmas presents
Installed my Enkei J10's tonight.
17x7 +42 and I still need a 5mm spacer for the rear. Also working on my center caps as the stockers suck.
Tires are 195/45/17 Yokohama S Drives with Muteki SR35 lugs.
Needs moar low coilovers are next.
