Install note: take your time and follow the instructions that come with it. I just pulled off all the decal backing and slapped mine on and it didn't line up correctly. Your supposed to only pull half of it off, line it up and then remove the rest.

No, it's a trim piece with a cf pattern on top(not real cf). It comes with the upper and lower center dash piece and 2 side vent covers. Here's what it looks like on my old ride:

The decal overlays look terrible imo, these trim pieces are about 2mm thick plastic. My only gripe is the center trim piece does not cover the area between the HVAC control buttons because it's too thin. You can see it in the 2nd pic where the factory silver trim piece shows thru.

it's worth getting and in my opinion it definately does NOT look like anything from autozone.

it's HFP which is OEM honda shit.

hfp FTW!

Here is a pic of mine. I painted it NHBP in a gloss with clearcoat. This was done after I molded in the screen.

If youre going to paint it, use flat black finish it looks nice. If you dont feel like taking out the whole center piece, get carbon fiber dash from honda, I think the price went down to like 70 bucks.

dont you still have to take out the center console to put that one in? i thought it was the actually center console with the carbon fiber look?

No lol, its just a big sticker, you just line it up and stick it to your dash. I got mine while back, when they were around a 100 bucks.
