I replaced my OEM floormats with the $70 replicas. I think the OEM mats are @ $110 which is stupid, but buying these replicas was the stupidest. 7/10 for fit, 5/10 for stitching, 0/10 for durability. It's been two weeks and they are shedding like my cat.

Anyone know where I can get this carbon trim? All I really want is the u-shaped piece surrounding the shift lever. OP isn't accepting PMs. :-\

Interesting thread. Fortunately love all my mods so far. If anything, I just wished I could figure out the stupid relays for the SRS light. Came with the Works Bell short hub which was the main selling point for me.

Burtman Industries is what you're looking for I believe. Nice quality dash kits.

i bought a HFC before i made the switch to a test pipe...i didnt research enough and it was the first thing i bought for the car when i was much younger and not as informed...oh well, i was only out 50 bucks but after i got my TP, i looked at my HFC and the piping diameter on it was quite laughable

Ooops apologize...I will clear out my box. But Keri is right, Burtman is where I got it from.
