The OEM Honda kit looks nice yes, but like real CF not even close, I had and there's no chance I'll agree with you that it looked real. Also the JDM Honda Access Visors had clips that held them on not double sided tape.
that's why I didn't buy any of the OEM "CF" pieces. They look fake, not downing anyone who likes them but for me I can't do it. I wrapped my armrest and rear tray in real Carbon Fiber and it looks amazing. Now I really can't go back to fake cf patterns.
I know the O.P. is probably going to hate me for posting this but it helps out the prelude community.
The link has the sills new for $294.
Also the site has some rarer JDM items for sale.

Well that sucks! Do they order them for you or do they no longer carry them.
Its 2008. The Prelude door sill placard has been discontinued for a very long time.

I do not need to explain anything to you.
My broken wings still strong enough to cross the ocean with.
My broken wings how far should I go drifting in the wind.
yes, I do believe so. If you have a link to post I can tell you for sure. easiest way to tell is they usually say OEM carbon fiber trim kit or something like that. I thought king motor sports sold them too.
the oem dash piece is a great addition to the interior. Just because it doesnt actually look like carbon fiber doesnt mean it doesnt look good. Its subtle but pleasantly refreshing for the interior. IMO, that kit plus leather seats, make the interior of the 5th gen a billion times nicer.

it definitely beats that dull old black plastic trim any day

I'm not saying its not good I'm just saying I don't care for it. after you see the light reflect off real CF and see the 3D weave in person its hard to do the OEM cf pieces.
I agree the plain black bezel is kind of dull. I ended up smoothing out the texture and painted the bezel and other pieces to match my car. I realize that isn't for everybody but it gives it a nice custom style to it.

Dude, as was said on page 1, if you call boomplustoys, they haven't carried these for a long time and they won't stock them again. Do your research.
And if some guy was selling them for $350 shipped, jump all over that. It's a good deal even if they've got scuff marks. Mine were mint, so I'm happy I got brand new ones.
The reason I deleted these posts was because the old lady had some not-so-nice things to say when she saw things I was buying for the car online, so I deleted the posts because she doesn't need to know any more on what I've spent. She also was not pleased to learn I bought the TSX retrofits housed inside DEPO headlights, but those have a little bit more of a purpose we can all agree on
going back to the cf stuff...im gonna wrap my door sills in cf...never seen that so far
make sure to double check the clearances between the sill and door with the added thickness of the CF and resin. I would hate to have alot of time in making them sweet just to have the door plastic scratch them up.

They Look good I was thinking on making aluminum ones or getting this guy I know to make them in CF! The guy I know that hooks me up with parts in Japan said he can get the sills for 25000 yen ($230) but I dont want them
