Fit like a glove. Similar to the Rhd market ones but without all the red in it.

This thread is clear that everyone has a different perspective on the definition of high quality. I would not characterize this product as "fitting like a glove". At ~0:29 the aluminum trim can be easily seen above the +R button. The OEM carbon fiber center console fitment is much better.

Overall it looks nice, but I’m a huge stickler for detail and would not be happy with the little areas of silver showing…and getting dust and gunk stuck under there. That’s just me, though.

Personally, Im not a fan of anything thats stick on. Even OEM. It just reminds me of my early days of buying silver trim stick on pieces for my civic (OEM). I would rather have the actual piece be carbon fiber.

As long as the fit is more or less perfect, I think I actually prefer overlays. The top layer is still carbon fiber, lower cost, less material, less installation effort, no tabs to accidentally break off, etc. A zonk would be if you ever wanted to remove the overlay, might be a pain though.

One would be better off just buying an all new trim piece versus trying to remove the CF overlay I think. But yeah, it’s a consideration nonetheless.
