Im one hour away from Ontario/Niagra falls, but I do not want to waste my passport on a ton of trips to Canada.

for anyone that has done this, how does it match up. in some of the pics the plastic looks shinier grey. is this the case? not a perfect match to the si interior?

[0720Steve]

bump, still curious about the difference in color. anyone have this done and they can post some pics?

i just ordered this and am curious, but i guess i will see in a week.

[Zeuceone]

the color is off a bit.

the color is a bit off not by much, I also installed the csx drink console so that kinda helped with teh color matching. There is one pic of my car somewhere in this thread with it installed. I will try to find my camera and take closer pics.

There is very minor difference in color but the only other difference is the chrome piece for the handle. I only got it so it matched the center console chrome handle.

I found a pic of them together, it is not a great pic but I will take nicer ones on the weekend once I clean out all the stupid dog hair out of my car.

[brazilianguy]

that looks really nice
i have to find a way to get my hands in one of those

[FLIGL2003]

ok...sooo where are you getting your hands on these. I went to garage o8 on ebay and did nt see any

[Sleepy]

I got mine from a member on here that lives in Canada, I don't think he is flogging them anymore.

[0720Steve]

find a canadian dealership that will ship to you

[0720Steve]

but the handle doesn't match so you need the other center console piece too or you just have to deal with one chrome and one non-chrome handle. the color doesn't match up perfectly either.

[Sleepy]

with both peices together the color match isn't so bad. I have gotten use to it.

The CSX door in painted. Under the paint in the same color as the (raw) Si parts. If you can safely take the paint off, w/o damaging the show surface, you will have a match. Anyone want to try?

Or, the German market Hybrid Civic and the UK market Hybrid Civic have the non painted door also that should match up. If anyone has a contact in either of those markets that could verify this, feel free to speak up.

mine just came today and it's not that bad. it is different, but not so much you would even care. i might just get the other piece too so they both have chrome handles, but it isn't that bad at all.

shouldn't stop anyone from getting one.

[jennerz22]

Anyone have any other ideas on where to get one of these??? Can't find them on eBay anymore.
