    Thanks for updating us on the decals. I called my local dealer and found out they're still waiting on the door jamb decal as well. Just like your situation, I was originally told it was backordered with no ETA, then I was told today that it would arrive by July.

    I looked back through the thread to find the warning triangle part number with no luck. Do you have that number handy? Also, does it take 3 of them to fill up the slot on the right side of the foam?

    You can make an argument for 2, 3, or even 4. If you look at your foam, 2 triangles will come up to exactly the level of the jack cutout. 3 triangles come up to exactly the level of the cutout that makes removing the 12V battery cover easier. I think 4 would come very close to the absolute top of the foam. I went with three because I think that's what the European owners on here said came with their cars. I don't know for certain if the version we get in the US is exactly the same as they ship to Europe, but it's what we've got.

    Length-wise, the triangles don't fill the slot, but I wonder if that's deliberate so you have room to get your fingers in there to pry them out.

    Never thought of having more than one myself - and mine only came with one.

    In Japan they also have a flare, but that's stored in the passenger footwell.

    (No, Hammersmith, you don't need one. Close the parts database.)

    Good to know about the number. A quick google search says the EU requires one, but Spain requires two.

    Maybe I subconsciously chose three because that's the US requirement for semi trucks. And it's what I've seen when I've seen them in use.


    As for the flare, I'm tempted, but probably not. lol

    I can't tell if the JDM trim board has a built-in bracket for the flare, or if it's just attached with double sided tape. Plus I don't know if the LH trim from a RHD car will fit on a LHD car. The trim piece is only about $22+SH, so it wouldn't be a huge waste of money, but I doubt I make an order just for it. But if I ever need to order from Japan again, I'll probably include it just to be dumb.

    The part number for the JDM LH trim panel is 62112-47240-C0. Not sure what the part number is for the flare itself. I couldn't see it in any of the part diagrams.

    I seem to recall that with your deck board "-C0" indicated "foam blocks stuck on", so maybe here it indicates "flare clip stuck on"...

    No, I think in most cases with interior components, a suffix like -C0 means color. In this case, black. The US version of the same part is 62112-47250-C0.

    When I was doing the research for my seat conversion, the pattern was:
    1st five digits = what part of the seat/car (e.g. front headrest, RH front seat bottom, LH rear seat back, etc.)
    2nd five digits = which version of the part (JDM, USDM, vinyl, cloth, manual, power, etc.)
    suffix = color (grey, black w/silver stitching, black w/red stitching)
