I ordered it off of www.carid.com. It is the Remin Full set. Cost me around $450. There are a few pieces I had to order separately from ebay because there were slight variations with the 2017 lexus is300. Those parts I ordered from ebay were the carbon fiber around the start button, steering wheel controls, and shift ****. I also ordered the carbon fiber paddle shifter extensions but Im waiting for it to come from china. The fit is ok. There are some pieces that weren't so accurately cut but for the most part it looks good. Some think its too much carbon fiber but this is my taste and the car is a reflection of my personality. I love carbon fiber! If you get this set, just make sure you prep the surface real good. Another piece of advice is the button for the glove box- the 1st piece I put on started coming off because of the bend despite me heating up the CF piece. What I did is ordered a replacement off of ebay and wrapped it around a screw with a rubber band for a couple weeks so the CF piece kinda retains that curved contour. Then remove the old one and prep the surface really good, then warm up the surface and the CF piece and apply. Try to keep the car out of the direct sunlight and heat so the piece doesn't lift off. Should be good after that. Allot of the pieces that go around curves should be heated up with a heat gun so they are soft and adhere to the curves really good. The additional pieces that dont come with the set will run about $60 extra. Dont go buying the cheap vinyl off of amazon, that is just thin vinyl they are selling. This carbon fiber set is actually real carbon fiber with about 2mm of resin and double sided 3M tape.

@17LexusFS your anodizes lugs are they conical or same bite as the stock lugs? the reason I ask is I know if its conical lugs and not the same bite as stock lugs they are very high risk of coming-off or even breakign the studs because it doesn't sit properly with the stock wheels...I would be very cautious of that IMO.

Your very right, it isn't safe to drive around with lug nuts that do not have the same seat as stock with OEM wheels. I put them on to see what it looks like, its not a daily driver. Sits in the garage most of the time. I ordered some rims Im going to need these lug nuts with. Just waiting for the delivery. Pics coming soon.
