I want to share some pictures and thoughts on this product from CarbonSixthElement.
You can find the product on their website here:
https://carbonsixthelement.com/product/shifter-console-civic-fl5-type-r/
I ordered the product on October 29th and received it on December 4th. Overall I feel that they did a good job on weaving the carbon fibers, but the top left side of the epoxy resin arrived with significant scratches. I contacted their sales team and was advised that I should be able to buff out those light scratches with some rubbing compound.
It would have been nice of them to credit or refund me a little bit to cover the cost of the rubbing compound to resolve this issue.
This is my third aftermarket carbon fiber center console that I have tried and it is by far the best one I have received. I have not installed it yet, because I haven't decided if i'm 100% satisfied with the quality. You can see a few weave imperfections on the last picture.
I tried two other center console overalls and detailed my experience with both of them here:
https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/jswan-real-carbon-fiber-center-console.52581/#post-872871
TLDR:
- The JSWAN center console was OK, but I wanted the red weave
- The EPR center console was absolute garbage and I had to fight for several days to receive a refund
What are your thoughts on this product?
Should I return this one and just get the genuine OEM one for an extra few hundred dollars?
