Default air vent

I just want to know if the air vent on the passenger side is carbon fiber? My driver side is carbon fiber but my passenger side is not. Thanks

That means your car was a theft recovery. Since that side is super rare... its like $400 alone. Thieves steal the ITRs mostly for that peice alone

I believe that the reason that they did not put the CF on the other side is because the bezel on the passenger side has a grain pattern in it. The part would never look right with a grain pattern and CF at the same time. The only way to make it look right would be to put a smooth texture on the bezel. But the execs would never ok the tooling to convert the bezel to have a smooth finish. The person to blame is the project lead that decided to put the grain pattern on the passenger side.
