Yea I've been looking for a while. Let me know how it compares if you order it.That door trim is next to impossible to find. I waited 5 months last year when I cancelled the order through a japanese vendor. I'm assuming the carbon center console is the same. I picked it up last year so I don't know if they're continuing to produce them.
If anything check Amazon. They have replica pieces with the red thread just like the OEM version. About 2/3 or half the price of the OEM ones. I may order the door trim piece to see how it stacks up the OEM piece.
The Honda OEM pieces were readily available in late 2022 through mid-2023. They have been in an "out of stock" or "backorder" status since. It's not clear if they have been discontinued.I've never seen the Honda OEM carbon pieces ever available any where, but I've seen these pieces on Amazon.
They look pretty good, but can't say how the quality is.

Readily available would be somewhat of an overstatement there lol. But at this point it does seem that they are discontinued. Wonder why some retailers are still taking orders for them.The Honda OEM pieces were readily available in late 2022 through mid-2023. They have been in an "out of stock" or "backorder" status since.

If you have a high attention to detail, many of the options currently on offer will not hit the mark. @getGroyped had issues with at least two manufacturers (JSWAN included) in pursuit of an OEM facsimile. I have found high quality carbon fiber pieces to be few in the sea of many. YMMV.
Not an overstatement. If you wanted them and knew where to look, they were readily available. When I bought my interior trim pieces, I had little to no difficulty locating a vendor who could fulfill the order. I found no fewer than 10 sources. The hardest part was finding the part number and that only took a few days.Readily available would be somewhat of an overstatement there lol.

By the time I got my car it was too late. And if anyone got a 2024 they were basically SOL lol. It has been extremely hard to find now for almost a year so readily available for a few months really does no justice to a model that has a 3 year production run.Not an overstatement.

Maybe, maybe not. It seems your point of contention is fairness or equity. I was responding to @Chilly613 who mentioned they've never seen those items available anywhere. The reality is the parts were available for ~10 months and there are folks on the forums (and elsewhere) who were able to secure them. That's a fact. Anyhow, I don't get the sense those parts will continue production. I recall seeing a note some time ago on the Honda Japan website that the production on those parts have been discontinued. If you're Team OEM or bust, I suggest reaching out to folks who have them and asking for first right of refusal if they decide to part ways with the car.By the time I got my car it was too late.

Not about fairness or equity. You see 10 months as enough time and that's your opinion and it's okay. It seems more like the batch they made took 10 months to sell out. The car is still being produced and still has at least another year so it does seems a little silly to discontinue parts as soon as the first batch or so was sold out. But it's okay, some things are limited edition and that just makes the chase more fun.Maybe, maybe not. It seems your point of contention is fairness or equity.
