I'm sure they're using vacuum infusion on they're stuff. I'm very familiar with Vorsteiner.

Apparently no one reads the article. It states that it's dry carbon fiber.

A big thumbs down to this kit on a white IS-F. Maybe an all black IS-F would look better?

Personally, I like it...the only thing I would do is paint the rear trunk lid the same color...I'm a huge fan of Vorsteiner...I love what they've done for the E46 M3's...

Anyone notice how the rear design of the IS makes the rear wheel look TINY?

I will pass. I hate black faced wheels and especially on white cars. It looks like you are driving around with out your crappy hub caps. NEXT!!
