RPS13 Center Garnish?

[jontron5000]

Hi,

I've searched the forum and nothing came up that answered my question.

I know they sell an overlay that goes on top of the center garnish that reads "RPS13". However, I believe those overlays come in a brownish kelvar.

Reference: http://i2.frsimg.com/images/detailed_images/Nissan_RPS13CarbonGarnish_05.jpg

Is this carbon fiber black? or is it really brown? Or maybe it's black but bc of the lighting it appears brown?

Any helpful input would be appreciated thanks!:hsdance:

Carbon kevlar

2nd^^^, its carbon kevlar..

[jontron5000]

yikes! I'm totally not a fan of it... I like the look of regular carbon fiber

Is there some sort of sticker or something I can put on the regular 180sx center garnish that says "RPS13" bc I know i'm not gonna blow liek $160 on that overlay if i think its ugly, imo

[mkezzo16]

not that i've seen, you may be able to find a knockoff reg carbon fiber center garnish, but i havent seen one that says rps13

if he gets those, he will also need the led valve stem caps to complete the look

Now lets verify its origins, is it a oem nissan option or originally aftermarket?

if i recall its oem?
kouki tails have different flavors, i personally painted the center when i had an s13.. though they also look good left in black.

I always thought it looked nice. Just something a little different.

[Brian]

FACT : It's plastic. It's got a checkerboard weave painted on it. There is nothing composite about it. It's an original Nissan part. It goes on with double sided tape.

[CamryOnBronze]

^ Kevlar look.

[s13dan]

lol, sweet. I did'nt know that.

Got to love it when the factory makes cheap shit.

Ill take it, charge me twice.

[slow40sx]

i mean i like it, i only paid 25 dollars for it so i can't complain

[RPS13-604]

^ Lucky haha i paid $200 for mine lol

[jontron5000]

I would definitely pay $25 for that! Not like $150 they have advertised on FRSport.com

[chiboy002]

the cube is DOPE. not in a sporty or sexy kinda way, just convenient.

plus, it wins my award for having the BEST fucking floor mats on EARTH. shit feels like a bearskin shag rug, combined.

FFFFUUUUUUUUUU i want LED tails mike, you're killing me.
I've never experienced the cube other than driving past it, its really ugly lol. Looks spacious though

[irritatedmax]

Cubes are awesome and have the best color palette going. Maybe they offer different colors in America? They are mega popular here. I love them.

The center piece is plastic...and awesome.

Here's one that looks more like Carbon Fiber. Pretty sure it attaches like OEM.

I rented a Cube. It was cool, and comfy, but the dash looked really cheap and the doors seemed to flop around a bit when you shut them. Got lots of stares driving around metro Detroit in it.
