mine has carbon fiber around the gauges. to the best of my knowledge, they all do. 1997-1999 have the faux carbon around the gauges, 2000-2001 have it over the console as well.

The 98 R only had the fake carbon fiber on the guage cluster. 2000-2001 added the fake carbon fibre to the center console and side vent. You should be fine.

I'm still confused on how you think you got ripped off.

All the ITRs, regardless of year had fake c/f around the speedo/tach instrument cluster.

I can't help but notice how quickly the numbers of 1997 and 1998 ITRs are declining.. 4 gone in my area over the past year, two over the past 2 weeks.

The USDM rear seat is plastic in the middle so it doesn't get used as a "seat".

I'm WAY confused...
I believe he was worried that whoever sold him that ITR had swapped in a gauge cluster from a 2000/2001 ITR.

None of the ITRs have carbon fiber around the gauges. It's just a pattern printed on the plastic. So rice

Yes the gauges came with faux CF trim

Other notable give aways....

5-lug

B18c5 stamp

blk seats with red stitching

number plaque

amber dash lighting

suspension tweeks: lower tie bar, rear trunk bracing, front strut bar

no sound deading

all of which could have been swapped over.
