Matte Carbon Fiber Double-DIN Center Trim for the First-Gen NSX: Swap Walkthrough

0:25It's your boy John. We're back again with another video. So today we got modification coming from the NSX come over here

0:33So we got this from Euro Bout

0:36Shipping was extremely fast. I order it one day the next day. I got it. So it's insanely fast

0:43Now this is for the center console the trim piece and this is made in

0:48in carbon fiber and

0:50Matt no it's great about this is it's super rigid. I'm talking like okay. I'm gonna put the pressure on it and there is

0:58No flex you can hold the hold it by this and it's like it's still

1:01Like still really good reason-wise leanings because of my strength, but

1:06Very durable now. Looking at the inside. You can see the carbon fiber weaves. It looks great

1:13Check out the quality. and it has all the mount points. So you know it's gonna fit nice

1:19Same right here. This is where it adjusts to the top

1:23Event and then you have your climate control sensors right here now I

1:29Just love the way the Mac carbon fiber looks now if you're planning to get a trim for your

1:35Your NSX you have to consider should you modify your original ones your original one can go for like $800 and stuff

1:42So some people rather to spend the extra money and get the a brand new piece that is finished really nice

1:50Matt carbon fiber reminds me of the newer super cars like the McLaren's and stuff like that

1:56They don't really have like glossy

1:59Carbon fiber for me. I feel like when you have a glossy carbon fiber

2:01For me, I feel like when you have a glossy carbon fiber,

2:03it's carbon fiber is more distracting.

2:05And then also, because of the reflections.

2:07And then also, if you,

2:09I made this piece gloss carbon fiber,

2:12I have to make the piece on top, gloss carbon fiber.

2:15You have to kind of make it look match,

2:16like get the match, but most of the materials

2:18and finishes in the NSX is just matte or satin,

2:23so it's a good look.

2:25All

2:30So I always wanted NSX with a target top because as an S2000 owner

2:37I don't love driving top down

2:43So it locks them like that if you guys never know, and then you can close the cover

2:49Make sure everything is snug and then this piece goes down

2:54you buckled this up

2:55So come on into the interior of the Acura nsx

3:06So obviously I already made modifications. I changed out this radio

3:11I actually I actually have the OEM radio inside one of those cabinets

3:14but yes so this whole trim right here over time it just gets nicked and you know it is

3:22from 1985 you can see some stress marks now this isn't me taking it out and these

3:28have been here from the previous owner so you can see some nicks right there some nicks

3:31So you can see some nicks right there

3:36Yeah, I'm just gonna remove... I'm going to put in the Neutron

3:38And I'll just kind of show you as the process of that real quick. I removed the display so it's more like an OEM set up

3:45You can also see the ribbon cable

3:48But to remove the interior first you got a for a 1995 and above or the ones that has the

3:56This box might be 1993s when they had this there are these screws in your remove

4:01After your there's four screws. I can't really show it because of the angle, but you can see the four screws right here

4:08Just remove that bad boy

4:10So you remove these four screws and then there is one screw right here that you need to remove for the center console

4:23I like to recommend this. I highly recommend the shift knob. I highly recommend this shift knob as a nice weight to it

4:33from SOS. I highly recommend the shift knob. That's a nice

4:39weight to it. It's actually very heavy and it just makes your shift feel like a

4:44bolt action rifle. Next off is this trim right here. Now this is just

4:52This is just held by clips, so you're just going to have to use a prying tool or use your nails.

5:02In my case, I'm just using my nails and just pull it straight out.

5:16to disconnect this bad board right here and the suggestions for the.

5:23The clock and screws now you have these two upper screws right here you need to.

5:29remove as well and then there's also screws in here too.

5:30And then there's also screws in here too

5:38Which I already did so we're just gonna pull everything out be careful

5:51Shift boot definitely

5:54stuck, but then I have like the alarm system stuff

6:01This immobilizer system has been really annoying for me

6:05me, but I got it with the car, so I'm sure you pull all these sensors such as this is

6:16for your climate control

6:18that has a temperature probe on it, and then cigarette lighter, good to get rid

6:26there you go so all the screws are in here but yeah we're gonna have to

6:35So um, I

6:37All the screws are in here, but yeah, we're gonna have to remove this

6:43This temperature thing, insert into the new one and the shift boot needs to get transferred over to so

6:52Just gonna unscrew these bad boys

6:55It's pretty self-explanatory

6:57So I'm just gonna screw them and transfer onto the new unit sure you don't lose these screws

7:07It's just one screw a there's two

7:22There's three screws in total for the shift boot

7:26Now I bought this car used and looks like the owner transferred the previous owner or owners

7:30and it's the owner transferred

7:32uh... the previous owner

7:33or owners

7:35uh...

7:36change it to a type r shift boot

7:39so this is a type r

7:41it's made with like this uh... this cloth instead of a

7:45leather

7:46and it has uh...

7:49usually has like a shift pattern

7:51but it doesn't

7:52And then Elsa has this vinyl carbon fiber overlay.

7:57They did this back in the old days.

8:02Interesting so there's let's just transfer it over to the new one the screws don't fall out

8:14Oh this thing is light

8:26Mounting spots are just like

8:29All right, you also have to remove this I was noticing when I was screwing this in right here

8:32was noticing when I was was screwing this in right here you actually needed this

8:35piece below it so they can elevate it more or otherwise it won't be able to

8:39screw all the way down so make sure you screw this before you screw in this.

8:42after you screw things in now you want to be careful don't want to screw it in

8:46too tight so you

8:49Then you should have fitment as, that is similar to this. It's like OEM. I'm glad that they have like the OEM mounting points very similar and just

9:00It's looking good. I removed the two screws and this bad boy popped out

9:04out and you definitely want to give that a cleaning because if

9:08It is dirty dusty

9:11So I'm trying to give a quick blow and maybe a wipe all right, so to get the

9:16coin holder and cigarette lighter area to come out you just have and screw

9:22everything you pretty much see every screw yeah basically use the original area

9:29so that I can mount the AC thing without it hitting anything so that's the

9:32So that's the reason why I took out the faceplate just to give it a little bit more clearance

9:37You can do. Do it without this coin holder, but um I

9:41Just wanted to keep that climate control in its original OEM spot, so, so yeah, I think this fits and works well

9:48And so I placed it down nothing screwed in but the fitment is looking good

9:55I'm eventually gonna have a screen that actually matches the size so stay tuned to that in my channel-

10:00stay tuned for that in my channel. I have a few seven in two double

10:05din seven inches right now of course you have you saw the floating style

10:08that's just the way I've been doing it because the way the

10:12OEM one words thing. I just love car play and Andrew Donna. So that's why I went with that route

10:18But stay tuned for my channel for actually one to actually have that direct fitment and now that floating style

10:23And we're also going to be doing floating style too because that's what
