Finally temp today in mid 40's for once and my R battery died since hibernating from Dec.02. Jump started her and drove around for an Hour last night.
Cleaned her up today and decided to take a run installing JDM carbon plates pwr for
the window switches. Thanks for all your help from H-T members, it was NOT hard at all modifying them to fit with the Dremel! Here are the results.

neato, my car is dead too

 

I'm guessing you had to modify them since they are meant for the opposite sides of the car on RHD models?

 

nice to see you were able to retro-fit them on...

 

CF Plates don't really float my boat but your installation looks great

 

Did you just swap the plates or the switch assemblies too? My JDM EG6 windows had auto up and down. If you swapped the switches too (which I doubt since the driver side looks like it is on the LH side), does it have auto up?

 

i want some.. wher ecan i buy some

 

I only bought the JDM Carbon Plates from EBAY for $61.00 and had to modifty RHD driver side Plates to fit onto USDM LHD driver side Pwr switches module. Passenger side were exactly same pwr window module so just plug and play!

did you happen to take pics of how you modified the CF plate to fit on the US switches (driverside) ? or can you tell me how you did it ?

 

you dyno it yet witht he new mods. j/k. it looks nice thos. i like the drivers side better than the passanger side, there is just too much Carbonfiber

 

Nice job!!!!!

 

looks.... NICE!!! that's not sticker right/????

 

Sorry, i didn't take any pics of the modifted process. U have to pictured that RHD angled to the left so the mounting post on JDM carbon plates had to shave down to angled to the right to fit onto USDM driver's pwr window swt. module. If u have Helms manual, u can see there are 2 mount post by the pwr mirror swt and 3rd lower one after the pwr window switch. The 3rd one does not align at all with USDM module so after u shaved down to the right angle, u have to drill a addition hole at the pwr window module in order to mount the 3rd post.
The next big task modifying the JDM carbon plate is which also use the dremel is to shaved the pwr window on/off switch hole bigger to the right side since now the USDM switch is reverse from RHD because it will hit and switch will be always off. The final one is to dremel the driver pwr window switch hole bigger since RHD one is bigger instead or u can push down far enought for the AUTO window down function because it has longer travel.
I picked up a used USDM module as my jig to modify so I did take apart my R till finally installing them.

Good Luck if anyone decides to do this!

 

I LOVE this mod, very nice... It always has bugged me how the CF just kind of stops at the climate control
