The carpet,

I think I won it at 6,000 Yen, plus some Buyee cost, it became $6,600 Yen or something like that...
and then local and international shipping cost from buyee total is 5,780Yen

so total became around $12,380 yen (more or less)...

After I won the auction, the same seller still have 3 or 4 more auction for the same thing, but now all sold out...

but you still can buy them at Amazon Japan:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%84%A1%E9%99%90-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9D%E3%83%BC%E3%83%84%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B2%E3%83%83%E3%82%B8%E3%83%9E%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%80%90%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%80%91-08P11-XLFD-K0S0-RD-%E3%83%9B%E3%83%B3%E3%83%80-2010/dp/B00AB9JLCS/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1362911251&sr=1-1
more expensive though at $8,505 + $1,500 local shipping (and then you had to add Tenso handling cost and EMS/UPS cost)...

so I guess, I am lucky to get it at cheaper price and with that carbon antenna bonus too

The antenna is 12cm long or 4.7inches,...
i just check and it have small scratch on the carbon part of it,
no wonder they give it for free... but with a black touch up paint,
the scratch would not be noticeable anymore

I am going to try to sell it though, hahaha...

will put it on for sale section for $25 shipped...

.................
Nice...

How does it look when it's in the cargo area?

I got these JDM Honda Access cargo mat I had to modify them a little when I installed the Clazzio's, but they do a great job of keeping the cargo area & seatbacks protected...

Hello,

as usual, I have NOT install my Mugen Trunk Carpet yet,
Because to install it, mean I had to remove the velcro that I currently use to help hold my rear subwoofer box in place, so I plan to do it when I took off the sub before taking my car to the body shop to install the rear JDM RS bumper...
but it will look ok I guess

Your Honda Access Cargo is really nice too cause it is fully connected to the rear seat, so make it easier to clean.

My sub is a powered sub model from Rockford.
It came with several feet of Velcro,
and easy to detach power and signal socket (molex).

I bought this model so I can remove it without taking out any screw and without have any bracket (sharp edges of the bracket could damage the things I put in cargo)...

but I am not just using Velcro, but also several Bungee cord that really hold it well.

but if I install my Mugen Trunk Carpet, I will NOT use the velcro anymore,
cause it will damage the Mugen Trunk Carpet, so just bungee cord next time, which should be already strong enough.

tenso can definitely get whatever you want if it's in Japan, all you need to do is to send them the link and infos on what you're trying to buy... yes, they offer that service too

I still haven't received the sent (to tenso) email, I hope I don't get an email telling me certain items aren't available anymore... especially not the JDM Honda stuff...
