Take the mirror cap for example it's more expensive than M performance's. I guess dealers no longer need to mark-up the car they just load their cars with all of these and call it a MSRP deal.

That interior panel cover is just the 3 dash portions and does not appear to include the escutcheon or the door pieces

I would love the wing but not at $1k.

Is the spoiler 3 piece?

Do you just get the center piece for $1K or a whole new spoiler? Any one know?

The UK version is center-section only... so I'm not sure but I'm guessing it's just the center section here too.

I don't know exactly what will be included from the source you're looking at there, but I just collected my UK car after they fitted the carbon interior panels package, and it included the three sections across the dash, a section in each door, and the gear change surround.

Or at least it would have included all that if the package hadn't been shipped with a LHD centre piece for the dash that won't fit my RHD car! Apparently Honda said a few of the packs seem to have been sent out with the wrong centre piece for some reason, and there's likely to be a long delay to get the right one (though they have raised it to critical to speed things along). Not a big problem as it's only a very small piece anyway and the standard part will stay on till the new one gets here, it's just a bit irritating that the dash now has a small section in the middle that doesn't match the rest. Guess I'll just have to look where I'm going instead of admiring the interior.

Also there was a dent in one of the sill plates that went on as part of the red illumination pack, but they spotted that before I even got there and already had a replacement on order. It's actually a pretty minor dent, but of course you do expect it not to be dented when it's a brand new part. At least that one will be out of sight once the door is closed! On the plus side, the illuminated R does look good.

The UK version is center-section only...
True, only the centre section of the wing is replaced with real c/f here.

Good insurance is all you can really do and video coverage of where you park
Just checked, and yes my security cameras are all working nicely.
:thumbsup:

Won't stop a determined thief of course, but at least I'll have a souvenir video of what they did.

@petem any chance you can pop some close up pics of the interior carbon kit when you get a chance. I'm wondering if the 2 pieces either side of the steering wheel curve to fit/cover the standard false carbon or can it still be seen if that makes sense

Hey Petem, I'll take that shift area trim piece if you still have it.
