Any Options for Non-Fake Vent Door Garnishes?

[Mimosa]

Any styles out there besides TRD? The Seibon doors is the only other way... but the fitment is so bad on it, they don't even bother installing it on their demo car.

I'm surprised someone hasn't made an OEM style garnish that smooths out the fake vent.

I'm pretty sure @stormgreysupra had said he was working on something, so I'm curious about an update. The quality on the other supramod fake vent replacements is top notch.

Those are literally the trd style ones he doesn't want.

lmao didn’t realize that’s what the TRD style was. I have the rexpeed ones and didn’t know they were the same my bad

It's all good. If you don't know, now you know. And knowing is half the battle...

Found this that I could paint in body color.... but I don't know how it would work out:

It wouldn't look as clean as it being a completely molded, but my body shop said that they could easily work this to mold it into the OEM garnish.

Other than TRD (and its copycats) the only other option is the Seibon full carbon door which deletes it entirely.

Yeah... I've only seen one Youtube video showing the installation and the panel gaps just kill my soul. I don't know how much room there is for adjustment. I'd just hate to buy it and be disappointed with panel gaps.

Like I said on the original post, Seibon not even installing them on their demo car has me cautious.

Has anyone gotten the TRD and then gotten them paint matched to the body? I have trouble picturing what it would look like but it could be a clean look

Look up the rexpeed copycat ones. They sell them paint matched installed

Also I'm big dumb. Mimosa literally had paint matched ones on the old car

No issues on fitment on mine but I was kind of disappointed that there is a few splotches of whatever chemical cured underneath. I shot them an online request to no avail.
I have no noticeable gaps on the door garnish but the side and front lips were very noticable. To their credit, I went the easy way of installing and didn't pull the tabs properly. When I get to doing body work, I'll pull in the tabs and use that Honda edge rubber grommet thingy to hide any large gaps left.

I was referring to the full carbon fiber doors to replace the OEM doors. The fitment on them look pretty rough.

Gotcha. I was looking for one that smooth it out as well but all I saw were ones with fins. Passed on that and just went OE spec. Full door is a little too much for me. I'm still trying to justify a hood purchase.
I do want to try the carbon fiber strip that deletes the plastic cross hatch and see if that blends the garnish better.
