Besides the JDM Type S cf gauge bezel, is there any other cf gauge bezels available for the 5th gen that match up with the factory carbon fiber trim design? Where can you get them?

Or Joon525 or others that were interested before in the JDM Type S cf gauge bezel, are you guys interested in maybe talking to James Chan about a possible group buy for them? I'm not really sure if he can get a good group buy price on them or not. I think last time he checked they were around $85???

I'm interested, I just emailed James the other day about price and availability on them. I'm a 100% if we can get a buy together but I want the Type S and not a knock off.

I already talked with him about this.......he can't get the part number for it. If he can get that part number than he can get it. I believe the lack of this part number was the only thing stopping him from getting it for me.

I don't believe that the part numbers are actually stamped on the parts. You need to get your hands on a parts manual.

Are you 100% sure??? I'm almost positive that I saw PN's stamped on my cf dash kit when I was putting it in(?). Maybe they only stamp some parts?
You're ruining my day Billy!!!

I bet the UK guys could go to a Honda Dealer and ask for the part nubmers, I do it w/ my dealer's parts dept all the time.

That's a nice prelude!

I think he's all out of options.

Can any of you English members get that part number by any chance?

Well I just talked with JAmes about this not too long ago and he said that he is trying to find another supplier for that part. which in return could equal lower prices for us

(always a good thing, but dont quote me on that). But yea I am interested in that part too.

SteveV, you trying to get it for carlisle?

I don't think that's possible, carlisle is only like a month away. I'm still waiting for my JDM blue mirrors, James thinks they will be in this week.

what gauge bezel? like the big piece of plastic surrounding the gauges? does the CF one looks like the spoon gauges then?

on a side note, i painted my gauge trim rings silver on saturday, they looks just like those on the Evo 7 now

I don't recall Andy's Type-S having a carbon Fibre gauge bezel!
Or is it because I am usually holding on for dear life and looking where I am going rather than at the bezels!

The typeS CF bezel is not real CF. Kinda like the OEM interior dash kit. I'm still having problems getting the part number, sorry guys.
