Well I'm in Canada so won't answer since my price payed won't match the US one by a long shot....

Not to hijack the post, but are you from Maple Shade, NJ?

Is it correct to assume these are carbon fiber "style" pieces (looks like it)? Is the pattern on the surface or under a clear plastic-type layer? The reason I ask/comment is that I've seen the clear acrylic (or whatever) turn yellow and crack over time on carbon fiber pieces that see a lot of sun. I think FitCanada_Girl is covered in either case since she has her windows tinted, but for those living in sunny places, it might be prudent to tint the windows to keep out the UV if these have a clear plastic-type layer on them.

As far as price goes, the full set came to $192 (plus s/h) from College Hills Honda.

I've assumed these were real carbon fiber, but I'm not 100% sure. I assumed this because the B-pillar trim pieces are real CF. Then again, Honda points out that the B-pillar trim is real, but don't make any reference to CF with these trim pieces.

Fact is, they look like the real thing - just like the bare CF on my road bike frame. So it works for me, and $192 is a fair price.

I'm really liking the outside one....at least from that one pic that cruzitude put up.

Hey cruz, could you possibly take another pic that's zoomed out a bit so that we can see how the trim looks on the car as a whole?

btw where'd you get the outside pieces?

I really don't think they are. If they were they would cost $$$$$$.

FitCanada Girl should be able to confirm tomorrow.
