i just ordered this from a fellow h-t member. still in shrink wrap and everything from password jdm. my question is.... could this be a bad mold possibly? or are mostly all of these like this and you have to make them fit the best way possible? beautiful piece.....just wish it fit better

 

Its to be expected with any carbon fiber piece. Ditch it and get the OEM one

 

thanks. but i have it now. so just trying to get some peoples opinions and pics that actually have this or had this in their car

 

It looks okay, typical aftermarket fitment. Cant really expect it to fit like OEM.

Couldn't have said it better

 

yeah....i just thought since it was password, that the fitment would be somewhat close.

 

too much red in your interior, and you have a naked man on your console.

 

lol my streaker is cool. but stay on topic here. i get too much red all the time.

 

Same as mine..got rid of it...looks like crap

Ah, it's not too bad. Carbon fiber accessories like this is a give and take. You give up the oem fitment but you get the carbon fiber stuff. If it were me, I'd see if I can get it to fit better using some double stick tape for something. But I wouldnt sweat it - still looks good and overall fitment looks good.

 

I wonder if you put a towel over it then place a brick in the tray over night and see if that weight pushes it down enough to make it fit better.
If it looks to go down a bit...keep trying it every night until it's finally fit.

 

Install an OEM airbag so a passenger doesn't die in a serious frontal collision

i just dont like airbags. my old girlfriend's malfunctioned once and popped her in the face. another time i had a head on collision in my ej and the things never came out. so to each their own ya know? i always wear seatbelts.

 

It's never a good idea to just remove part of the SRS system, if you're still relying on stock seatbelts. Now if you had racing buckets, harness bar, and 5-point harnesses, it would be a different story.

Looks alright for now, but for me..it'd bug me through time l0l.

I'd try getting that thing to fit as good as possible. Add some weight to it or something :\
