After searching for carbon fiber parts I realized there is really nothing available. So, I decided to try something I was recently introduced to "Hydro dipping" I really liked how the first couple parts turned out, and decided to do a few more.
The process starts with preparing your piece for refinishing. Next, a polyvinyl film containing the pattern is floated on top of a vat of water. The water acts as the medium to transfer your print into the form of your part or product. Upon placement of the film in the water, an activator is then applied to release the print overlay from the polyvinyl backing. Then they “dip” your part into the print, transferring the pattern to your piece. Then an automotive clear coat is then applied to complete the process.

Hi big a quick installation question with the PS unit on connecting the small white connector.
In the picture, there are two small white "connector" components. Do I only plug in the enhancement system male connector to the Head Unit? The instructions made no mention but do I also take the factory white small connector and connect it to the enhancement system small female connector? Thanks in advance!

I have the same year (2016) as yours. So in summary, when you installed yours you taped off the red small female connector (X'd out in red) and connected the rest?
Thanks for your prompt response!
[QUOTE=biggame;9497419]If your Lexus is a 2013/14 just tape off the wires they are not used. If you have a 15 or newer they should connect into the back of the radio.
Thanks for your prompt response!
