Do you still have that little defroster vent like on the stock style and is the color match pretty good?

Yeah, it just fits over your stock piece. They only had black as I recall, which didn't clash too badly with my graphite interior, but I'm swapping to ebony now, so it'll match perfectly

Well, I'm not reading anything. I'm speaking from personal experience, and I'm very happy with the piece.

Here's some pics of it in my car:

It's kind of a tight fit to get it in there, but no dash pad rub as far as I noticed. I didn't modify it any, I just put it in there and was done with it. I took the stock pillar trim off, then placed the gauge pillar over it and marked where I needed to drill holes for the push in tabs, drilled the holes, and then assembled it and that part was very easy.
