Titanium dash kit installed
From sponsor, IPT (above right).
Install was moderately difficult because after several cleanings, the templates just didn't want to stick. Finally the heat inside was hot enough, things got to stickin' If you've used ANY interior dressing, clean that crap off good otherwise, you will NEVER get this stuff to stay on.
OK...here's my opinions....the titanium kit in places, looks sharp but in others, it doesn't look that different from the OEM finish (around the dash especially).. As a result, I should of held off for the silver carbon fiber or black carbon fiber but it does contrast nicely with the blue interior. It is definitely not overstated, in fact, it gives a very classy look to things. Overall...I'd give this mod a 7 on a 10 with silver cf probably coming in at 9. There were some pieces I left off (storage compartment areas) because I felt it would detract from the eyes going to the dash.

Momo Shot. About $115
Very large and quite heavy (especially since I unscrewed the top and
put lead tape in there). heh heh. Now all it takes to shift is my finger. Silver carbon top. Dropped about 1.5 inches from stock.

Wouldn't adding weight to the shifter have the same effect as resting your hand on it lightly all the time (ie, not good)? Just curious...

I like it!
The titanium takes away from all that blue from the interior (its just a bit too much blue, imo)
I have a question about the floor mats, the surface looks polished / shiny ... are they a problem when driving under the sun w/ the top down? i'm only asking because the shift button on my mom's accord is chrome and whenever i have the sunroof open the sun reflects right off of it and its very annoying...

I agree it doesn't declare itself much more than the stock. With those diamondplate mats (if they came in silver, imo, and not just chrome) it would really come together. As they are now, I think you'd need alot more than titanium to stop ppl from focusing on the mats. I agree with you that the CF dash would make a better match with those mats. Please let us know if the mats build up/retain heat. We may have found our seat warmers! I wonder if wet okole has that style.
