CF License Plate Trim

zulukingcrowned · 12-01-2008, 11:19 PM

Does anyone make a CF license plate trim piece for the 8th gen? My girl has an 08 non-SI 2dr coupe and I wanted to get it to match with the CF grille up front I'm also picking up. Also, whose makes the CF grilles aka can someone give me a link?

If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, this is one on my car...(big turbo '98 volvo s70 t5m btw)...

Kind of hard to tell it's CF in that picture, thought I had a close up somewhere...

no one sells anything like that.....you could buy a flat piece of CF from diff online stores then cut it to size. You could also make your own.....

Isn't there a fair amount of curvature at that part of the car? A flat piece probably wouldn't adhere that well...would rather have a molded piece. I'm surprised no vendor has gotten on this.

depends hos much is wanted cover. prob could do a flat piece but i think it would look a bit funny. molding a piece would be the best way to do it, possibly an overlay.

Ehh, guess I gotta hope someone gets on that and makes them. Got a link for me though for that CF grille?

There we go, it says SI only? But I don't see any reason it wouldn't fit the non-SI coupe..

i'm not sure exactly what you are looking for...but i could probably make a CF vinyl overlay for whatever it is....

Though I don't think I'd ever go with vinyl.

seeing how that is 1 piece they wont make a CF piece for that one thing, it would have to be for the whole piece, and you better hope you dont have the lx because it wont come with the trunk lock. but i do believe seibon is making them to go with their CF trunks now you might can order one by itself.

zulukingcrowned · 12-03-2008, 07:57 PM

Just saw the non-SI post, too bad...take it they don't make a non-si cf grille then.

Dropped Seibon an email, we'll see.

***Nomar06*** · 12-03-2008, 08:01 PM

swap grills on your girls car...lots of people do that

**GETxERxDONE** · 12-03-2008, 08:12 PM

you can buy the si grille that just bolts up where the stock grille was (see my sig)

Honda Automotive Parts)

the si grille is 2 pieces so you just replace the colored piece with the CF piece

If you really want that, I can go directly to ABS Dynamics, probably get it cheaper for you.
