Greetings All
Had my FL5 for about 1 year now and absolutely love it.
Seeing all your posts with all your mods really had inspired me.
First off the chespest and most effective mod in the looks department for me was to spruce up the interior of the FL5. The seats are amazing , the layout of the dash well thought out but wasn't keen on the plastic parts. Made the car look less luxury.
This is when I decided to look onto carbon fiber parts for the interior.
I researched many companies but found one that seemed to have a good reputation CarbonMyRide, whom I had heard of and seen at various car shows in the past.
First thing I decided to do was pick up their steering wheel trim. This allowed to be test the waters without too much spending and would let me check out their quality, fit and service.
Ordering was extremely simple and the product arrived 2 days later.
Quality was great and the finish very nice. Put it into the FL5 and who would have thought such a small simple peice would really boost the interior.
This little peice now made the rest of the plastic Interior look cheap and in need of transforming!!!!!
First purchase was the center console. I always wanted the Homda OEM one but wanted it in black and grey weave and couldn't justify the asking price!
So when CarbonMyRide put out that they were now selling these and for much less I pulled the trigger. While on their website also added the inner door switch panels to match.
Few days later a big box had arrived when I got back from work. Packaging was from CarbonMyRide as the box was full of their logo on the tape and multiple "Fragile, Take care" stickers.
With total excitement opened the box and pulled out multiple Carbon goodies This was a weekday and so had to wait for the weekend to get it all installed.
Weekend finally arrived and with it a mini UK heatwave . But nothing was to deter me from getting hot and sweaty while installing the Carbon
Installation was a doddle and everything is so simple to install. Remove double sided tape, align in place and stick down.
The precision of the fit is perfect and moulded exactly for the FL5. Fits like a glove! Extremely simple to install and best of all the wife even said it really brings out the interior to look more racey with a flair of luxury.
Overall extremely impressed and looking forward to adding more Carbon to the car. I have just noticed on their website they also do exterior Carbon for the FL5 and this will definitely be something I will get added soon.
Hope you enjoyed the read and I'll post pics and provide updates as more Carbon is added.
Little video review done on the day
TIA
