I hope you have a dremel? I have them in my car and it took about 20 minutes to get them to fit using a dremel.

Turbo ITR was only kidding. I didn't hurt my hand installing them. It was durring the acquisition I hurt my hand. That japanese guy kept rolling up his windows on my arm, while I was trying to rip them switch plates off.

TurboITR ya gotta get your story straight. ;p

if they cost more than the plastic counterpart then don't bother.

From pictures it looks like the Type Rx might have the Passenger side Vent in CF (It on the opposite side but should fit on the LHD Dash fine.
Although I have not been able to confirm this and I tried to order it to check and have had No Luck

yah ... i have the carbon fiber air vent for the RHD driver side. It does fit on our LHD tegs .. yet you have to do a slight modification to the right side of the vent. It has some extra cf on the side that you have to dremel down to make it fit right. other than that ... it's pretty dope. Along w/ that i have matching switch panels, jdm climate control, dc2r cf gauge cluster and shift console ... its beeeeautiful! haha

Ryan - trying to jdm ***** it!

When you installed the JDM type R carbon fiber window switches, what did you have to dremel off? ?
