Re the steering wheel trim piece - is that a snap on part? I'm not seeing any obvious clips or screws.

And same question for the lower front grill panel.

thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's an overlay. Similar to what LEMS offers. Won't sit flush. A few millimeters raised. Probably not noticeable unless you get right up to it.

In for one, hopefully the quality is as good as they stated.

After seeing this:

Was determine to cover up that lower portion with dark wrap or this carbon fiber.

If you end up getting one, let us know how it fit.

I recently went to my Lexus dealer and noticed that the GS F has that specific piece in CF from factory. Anyone know what that part number is?

Finally got a chance to installing the CF overlay for the grill.

Highly recommend doing business with RR Racing. Professional company and pleasure to work with. Excellent communication and Customer service.

Hats off to them for offering our community great products.

They shipped it out 2 day mail and shipping is included in price.

Overall the overlay is nice quality. The CF weave is consistent. It's not heavily reinforced, it's thin and somewhat pliable. I know that LEMS offers something similar but I've never seen the product first hand. And that product is dry carbon with over twice the price.

The fitment is pretty good. The piece looks like it's cut by hand and the tolerances are acceptable. Plus fitment may not be perfect because of installer...me. unless you're right up to it and take a close look, You won't really notice the slight misalignments, imperfections in fitment. Certainly grab a buddy to help out.

I definitely recommend this. For the overall value and quality of real CF piece vs the cost of wrapping vinyl or faux CF.

Congrats and looks good!
I'm assuming it's 3m taped and there aren't any clips?

Yep. Rather slim strips that run the whole length. Somewhat difficult to remove all the backing and laying down because the front curls around the lip
