no US manufacturers of CF parts for the 1st gen.

There are several carbon fiber manufacturers that do custom stuff, but with the price of carbon fiber cloth thru the roof due to the aerospace and airplane industry.. i wouldnt want to think of it. $$$

Here's a link for two CF hoods

http://www.andysautosport.com/lexus/...s/spyder_auto/

haven't found anything for trunks, sorry. But this shows that they do make CF hoods at least for the 1st gen GS

To make carbon fiber trunks there has to be demand which means there has to be a lot of people asking for it. As that said who will make it for our cars when there is not that many in the street and it is not worth it to make like it is for example for the Honda Civic and brother would like it for cheap it will not happen as the parts for a premium car like Lexus have premium prices also.
