Any side shots of how they look? I have SGP too


Yeah they’re adhesive and easy to remove with a heat gun. Both were the most practical purchases for me since I’m in and out so often with this being my daily.

These look great thanks. I may end up getting these. How much did they run?
No problem. It was 225 for the visors and 64 for the door guards. Took about a week for me through King Motorsports.

Pretty sure they’re adhesive. @elusiveaura

I was thinking about those Mugen door cup protectors too, but decided to go with clear PPF because my car is white and I didn’t want to draw attention to the door handles ; Afraid my car would start looking like a Dalmatian of aftermarket stuff. 🤣
I think you made a good choice. I bought a set and when I put them up against the CW I did not like them at all. Just like you said, it draws too much attention to the door handles on the CW but I do think they look good on SGP, RR, or CBP. Now they are sitting alongside the pile of other parts in my office unopened collecting dust 😂

Bye bye pleather. Hello JDM alcantara shift boot. Pretty easy install, but not a direct swap. Took a bit of patience to remove staples and swap over the plastic ring, but well worth it.

I endorse this message. JDM Alcantara Shift Boot is a winner! Next up, get rid of that faux aluminum trim on the center console ;) .

Ayyyy it’s the famous Clark_Kent! I actually like the faux aluminum and don’t love the red carbon if it’s just overlay. Is that the solution you’re thinking of? I do plan to pick up the alcantara steering wheel (even though I initially wasn’t upset they did away with it on the FL5 because mine did get dirty over time on the FK8…)

What's up man?! That's right. It looks killer when you pair it with the OEM cf door bits IHMO. I love the red weaved into the carbon fiber. Not sure if you've seen it in person but it's subtle and the red is only noticeable upon close examination. But, I understand all looks aren't for all people.

Where are the pieces available? From what I’ve seen only the right hand drive cf transmission cover is available, haven’t found it for North America.

Part #08Z03-T60-600A, lot of places have these for LHD now overseas. Not as hard to source as it was months ago.​

I posted information with pics a couple months back in this thread. The posts can be found here and here.

Lead time was about 3 weeks from order submission to arrival at my front door. These items typically are not stocked and are shipped from overseas which is why it takes so long. FYI - Bucci Composites S.p.A manufacturers the carbon fiber pieces for the FL5. Based on recent events you may experience delays on certain carbon fiber parts. Not sure how or if it will impact the center console part. Be advised the price has gone up materially since I ordered months ago. Happy to answer any questions or send over additional photos.
