Its obvious TunedNCivic invested a lot of money and time into this so I think its pretty dumb to say you're gonna order something and you dont.
When I worked at a dealership and a customer said they were gonna buy the car in the next couple days and then never come back..... its like d!cking some one over, I mean why say anythign at all than?

Just a suggestion though
Thats EXACTLY why manufacturers dont make anything for the 7thgens. 1000 people say they want Turbo and Supercharger setups and so on and so on..........and then 1 or 2 might actually buy it. Same thing with the Hondata...never gonna happen for our cars........not for a long time anyway. Manufacturers see it as a waste of there time and not a very good investment, now I see why.

in my opinion cf trim and minor parts is an effort to look more like highend performance cars... in that sense I think it's ricey... For the functional, lighter parts, I always though it looks ghey to see a silver or red car with cf hood or what not... so no carbon fiber here...

Well, thats your opinion. IMO, someone who comes to a forum where a product is being sold, just to talk bad about, means that they are trying to make themselves feel better for not being able to afford it. Evem if thats not the case here, I just think thats kind of rude.

Here is the rear deck........it still needs clear coat. This is straight from the mold, but still looks good. I almost couldnt believe how light this thing was, i didnt expect that much of a difference. But here ya go.

I just went and put the speaker deck in my car......speakers sound ok. If you put the fade all the way to the back speakers, you can tell a little bit of difference..but with all 4 interior speakers going, I couldnt tell a difference. Still sounds good.

shouldnt affect a system. You may get a little rattle if you have subs going as it sits, but im going to Home Depot tonight to get some foam to put around the under edges of it , like the oem deck has. That should keep it from rattling.

the lid could rest on pegs of some sort 1 inch above the hole

na, doesnt muffle the sound.........you have to remember, there are little slits for the rear seatbelts and such for the sound to escape. This thing isnt air tight, neither is the OEM.

I am proud.....nothing better than putting a CF part on your car..and everytime you look at , knowing that you made it. And people looking at you like your full of it when they ask you where you got it and you tell them. LOL.

yes, there are holes for the seatbelts, but no flip up covers for the child restraint thingys. They were filled in and will be solid. If you need the child restraints, it can be cut out.
