Anybody have any links for carbon fiber they have used for interior decoration and that recommend?

Well sort of. Hondata Flashpro is a good product, no question. But, after having owned Flashpro and Ktuner, I'd say Ktuner wins overall as the #1 best mod. Us 10th gen peeps are really lucky to have two excellent tuning choices.
I hear you but the HPD guys work directly with Doug and company over at Hondata. For my level of tuning knowledge and overall plan, I’m sticking as close to home as possible!

Jimmyson27...

I know you asked this earlier but it's all available on Ebay. Just type in "2016 Civic carbon interior" into an Ebay search. There's also a company called SynthCarbon but some people are currently having issues getting the products from them.

Nothing wrong with that. Hondata is solid.

I have 4 red badges for 2 cars and finally installed one. The pins broke off and got stuck, had to semi-remove the trunk cover and do some trial and error but finally got both out. Would have been awful to have that shit rattle around.

Had a Civic Sport Hatchback challenge me on the highway. I couldn't resist. The turbo sedan is slightly faster than the hatch to start with (stock) and he clearly had no idea I was tuned. KTuner rocks.

Last night I fixed my uniden hardwire setup and got the center console button black mute/led alert button working. The wiring is temporary as I have just a couple more things to do before my planned electronics mods for the year are completed and I can clean up the wiring under my dash.

I also installed a cheap direct external tpms sensor from Amazon. Seems to overestimate tire pressure by 4-6 psi. Meh, it was only $40. Will do for now until I replace my tires and rims next year.

Oh, I also got a small bluetooth keyboard/touchpad for my tablet...I can finally setup the ktuner software layout and get a shell to my raspberry pi.

Today, I plan to swap my taillights with the sealed ones and do a side by side comparison of the corsomotion and the ijdmtoy led rear reflectors, choosing one set in then end for my car.

All that is left after today in this year's planned electronics mods is:

- the passenger footwell switchbox
- extra powered usb ports in the lower center console (near the lighter socket)
- rejigger the hidden odb2 splitter
- an odb2 power/data key/lock switch (near the above usb ports)
- a couple hardwired usb ports for the ktuner usb cable and the raspberry pi (near the above USB ports)
- and then a final pass to clean up and bundle and wrap all the wires under my dash.

The list seems bigger when I write it out... but I have completed so much this summer already.....

I asked my son if he wanted to put the Hondata plate surround on the car. He was like no stay sleeper

I like the stealth exterior (in my case, all black, tinted, with no decals etc.), and the full Christmas cockpit interior :)

Wow, could we get a full video tour of your vehicle when everything is done on your list?

That's the way I've always modded my cars. Simple, understated exterior mods, plenty of interior customizations and hidden performance mods. I've always gotten a kick out of being much faster and better than people expect. Sleeper all the way.

Now as far as the Hondata plate surround, that's a huge no no, sleeper or not. Can you imagine taking your car in for warranty work and the techs seeing that you're tuned?

Yes, oh yes indeed. Probably another few weeks until I have finished my my mods for the year. I will make a video tour at that time when the wiring is less embarrassing.

Next year is wheels and performance stuff. The year after? Showing her off :)

I have always wanted a space ship, so the closest I will ever get is my sailboat and my car. I have named the car "black kitt.e.cat", my sailboat is named "swag lady". :)

I appreciate the appreciation. She has been 1 long year of learning, failed and successful mod attempts, and way too much time spent on my back under the dash. I also drove around without a lower dash for like 3 weeks while I worked on the switches, relays, fuses, and odb2 devices.

Here is a couple fun pics of the full technicolor that is my cockpit:
