lol It's hard to notice but here is a focused pictures. It does not sit flush on the 2013-2015. On the 2016+, as @signdetres mentioned above, they fit perfectly since it is a post-refresh design change. It did not bother me so I left it. If it had bothered me enough, I just would have cut the extra piece off and call it a day.

Ahh... Now I SEE IT!!.. Thanks for the clarification.. ! That picture fit doesn't look too bad though. don't think it would bother me much. How much are you selling the whole kit without the steering wheel?

If you take the carbon fiber part out and install it on your existing silver trim(swap out the wood trim) you won't have any fitment issue. You could always wrap the silver trim to match the GSF trim.

Yes, just like the rest of the trim in your car, it's screwed on the back side.

@eddie420 Your car looks awesome!!! the crafted line should have come with CF from the factory, it really looks good with the black and read, MUCH MUCH better than stock. I might have to do this , i have the circuit red interior.

I fixed it for ya..sadly his GS is dead. I think he's selling this CF trim in the Marketplace. Someone should jump on it. I'm happy with my CF vinyl wrapped else I'd pickup Eddie's CF trim.

It's all good man. I plan on getting another. Been working with my preferred dealership and he's scouring around for me. He messaged me this morning and said he's working on it still, so we'll see.

Hahaha, mattress not included. However, I did not put it in the listing but I'm also including the clock trim as part of the CF kit. That's thing is a mattress worth!

Honestly, the pieces only looked weird when looking at them from the side. But when you sat in the car, they did not look out of place at all or really bother me. You can always get a 2016+ dash and replace the whole thing.

I am actually looking for a 2016+ dash with HUD so I don't have to deal with cutting. I guess that's the better way of going about it haha.

With the right tools, dremel, and extension, cutting the dash is 100 times easier than removing the whole dash to swap the top panel. Not to mention a lot cheaper and less time consuming. I mod my car, but what @eddie420 did with his dash took it to a whole other level. There are 3 of us on this forum that have cut our dash for the HUD retrofit.

I did the same to my dash with the cutting for HUD.

I just want the 16+ dash so I can utilize my dash pieces that I bought thinking it would fit on the 13-15 dash.
