catback, header, suspension (shocks/springs/sways/strut bars), or boost it if you got the money and time. With enough tiem and money you can make that thing pretty fast no doubt.

I have an 05 SI and it came with the fake CF dash kit on the HFP, i hate it.
But its still under warranty, when its up it comes off.

There is no way in hell, with CF prices the way they are, that you're going to get all of that for 162 bucks. Not genuine carbon fiber, and will look tacky and dumb
Why not? First off, even though everyone in the Civic world believes CF is expensive, it's not. There is no shortage, and prices outside the car market are just as cheap as ever. Second, making that kit, out of CF isn't going to cost the manufacturer anything, maybe 40 bucks. There's no reason it wouldn't be genuine, especially since there is a less expensive fake kit available.

Im not going to comment on if its fake or not im just going to say that it is possible to put cf on a 3M sticker...and cf isnt that expensive...if you get thin sheets and do the resin yourself you can make an entire dash for you car for not too much...much more effort than buying online...but it wouldnt be a sticker

Thanks for the replys guys.
I rather spend the money under the hood, but the problem is I got an 02 Lx. I heard it's not good to spend to much on making it go fast, cause you can only do so much.
I got an intake, rims and tires.
This summer i'm planning on getting a catback, and header.
Is there anyting else you can do with an LX?
you could always do an engine swap so you have a better motor in there and have a little more to play around with.

Don't talk down to me like I'm blowing smoke out of my ***. I know about "the shortage" rumor and that is not what I was implying. At any rate, Carbon Fiber is far from "cheap." I would LOVE to see someone install this on their car, and post pictures 6 months later. I'm sure it'll look just as good as a real custom CF dash..[:@]


How is it NOT a sticker?! Its a flimsy piece of carbon fiber with 3m double sided tape? tacky


But, go ahead and do it, it's your car.

well, it is kinda expensive. you get 16 pieces, but there small and probably wont make a big difference, the only thing that will probably make it look different is the center piece. You dont even get the speedo piece. The package that comes with speedo is like over $260.

I'll be honest... that actually does look pretty good. Still, I think it's probably a better idea to just save your money for performance parts
