yeah I want the wing center section also. But dang, that's basically what I paid for the voltex wing on the S2K lol.

Also the interior pieces should just be an overlay where you just stick it on from top. Not an actual replacement piece.
Wow! overlay for that kind of $$$! Man I think interior carbon is a definite wait and see. I thought it was remove and replace.

I'd be nearly sure they are an overlay. I have the OEM carbon gear surround and vent covers in my FK2 and they are just carbon pieces with tape on the rear to stick over the standard bits. Price was silly on them too like the FK8 carbon bit's but dont be surprised if you get the parts from Honda and find 3M tape on the back

Soon to be FK8.
Thought the carbon fiber door sill was non-illuminated.
AFAIK that's right, the UK accessories included *either* illuminated or c/f sills, there was no option to have c/f with illumination. That's not to say someone else couldn't be making c/f ones with illumination, or even that Honda themselves might be doing it for another market, but if they are they didn't include it in any of the UK product info that I've seen.

BTW, the illuminated sills here were always black in every picture I saw (not polished steel or anything like that), and indeed they were actually black when they came through, which is fine with me as the black blends in much better with the surroundings and looks quite refined in IMHO (well, more refined than the wing and all those vents anyway, which wouldn't be hard!).
:D

I don’t know if I can justify paying $800+ for that and then there’s shipping cost from the UK. I’m going to wait this one out and hopefully places in the US will start having them.

Thanks
I know it's real CF but I don't think it looks particularly good. Save your cash!

A carbon fiber sheet that size probably costs Honda a few dollars. Surely it doesn't cost too much more to turn it into that. $800 is crazy over priced.

yes, but a lot of stuff have to be removed to install the passenger side, even the head unit, as the wire for the passenger side have to tap into one of the harnesses behind the head unit.
