Rep Power: 0 I would watch out... that looks like it might be just another set of stick on trim. Like the kind oyu see on ebay... I would ask for installed ictures before buying. JMO.

Rep Power: 0 real as in real aluminum (and real carbon fiber) according to the sellers response to questions:
"All the carbon fiber and brushed aluminum kits are real, NOT synthetic. "

Rep Power: 0 Be extra careful about real aluminum. I have a set, ordered from Woodtrim.com, and the initial quality was not good. Aluminum is metal, hard to bend, but easy to wreck. My set came with three defective parts (badly cut) and one that was bent from shipping.
Woodtrim.com is nice to be replacing the defective and bent pieces, but it was an aggrevation I didn't want. Also, I had my upgrade shop do it, and the guy screwed up.
If you're conscious about how clean your car looks, do it yourself. Even the shop guys might not know what he's doing.
BTW, even real metal aluminum is stick on with 3M tape/glue. When I do get my replacement pieces, I'll be redoing the whole kit, removing and reapplying most of it. I'll post pics up if anyone's interested, but it'll be about 2-3 weeks before
Don't get me wrong, it does look nice, and compliments my two shade (black, silver) pedals nicely!! Although getting the trim pieces painted would be the most "OEM" look. The synthetic stuff, however, is no go for our cars... Maybe for US cars like Fucus or smthg, but no no for Hondas.
