Hmm... an MD player? I didn't know you can get that on the F...

*edit*

Aaah, I now see that Dave-san hails from the homeland and thus has a JDM F... hence the equipment difference.

(I might be going to Tokyo in a month.... hope to see some JDM F's! )

Take some overall pics

It looks *amazing* close up, but I wonder how it fits with the overall theme of the car

How is fitament vs overall OEM? I noticed you replaced the part around the side a/c vents, during aggressive driving + cold weather it rattles for me around there
Perhaps CF would fix that?

They will if you ask them. I love the steering wheel too, just not decided on full carbon or part carbon.

Hard as it seems I actually like the IS-F rims. But if I see something that I like I will change them.

The center rear seat cover replaces the old one and yes I pried it out. It is a ***** to put back in though.

Once I get everything in, I will take some more pics, but at the moment it looks stock, meaning it fits in very well. The wife has not noticed yet! (but don't worry she does not notice these typs of things)

Fit is the same as OEM, no gaps and no rattles and there won't be in the future either. Some of the parts fit better than OEM.

Dave...

Love the custom door pieces.

Did the rear console cover require seat removal??

I really like how the rear CF piece pulls the rest of the front interior together!!

Joe Z
