The part number I ordered was correct and I had the car running when I tested the lights. I found the problem...
When you pull out the stock LED, there is a black piece attached to it that you have to remove and install on the new, red LED in order to guide the tail end of the LED strip...
So I installed the red LEDs for the ambient lighting strip last night and they are SUPER dim...much dimmer than the stock white one. They are nothing like the pictures earlier in the thread. Has anyone else experienced this? I double-checked the part numbers and followed proper install. The...
I prefer a clean, minimalist look, so I was thinking the INTEGRA badge in black. It's just enough that you can see it, but subdued enough to be very clean.
I would peel them off gently and then use an alcohol based cleaner to clean any grease from the trim. That is more than likely why they aren't sticking well. Then apply, hold it down with force for a minute or so and it should adhere better!
No, it doesn't fit. There is a small notch in the upper right portion of the integra's cover to accommodate the trim piece that goes over the glovebox that the Civic one does not account for.
Good point on the shine. I haven’t had any issues with glare, but it is something to think about. As far as it not covering the sides, honestly I don’t even notice it, but I can see how some would dislike that. If they make a full carbon fiber replacement piece, I’m going to buy that ASAP, but...
I know there's been some skepticism about Synthcarbon's carbon fiber overlays. First of all, it IS real carbon fiber, but it isn't coated in a rigid coating. The coating is bendable. I was skeptical, too, even after seeing them in person out of the package. But after installation...
Guys...
I made that comment before I spoke with you.

Update:
I spoke with the Acura dealership parts and service department, but no one could tell me if they would fit. They referred me to the corporate client service's number where I did get SOME information.
Client services said that although the seats look identical and it would PROBABLY fit...
Ok cool. Will do. I really think the leatherette ones will fit. I’m going to order one just to make sure and then I’ll get the rest after. I’m also going to see about getting custom embroidery on them before installation.
