Default Gathering Interest for Carbon Fiber 2GS Parts

A place was recently found that makes custom Carbon Fiber items, and I have talked with Tony at LuxuryMods, if enough interest there's a possibility to have Carbon Fiber parts made for the 2GS and other various Lexus'.
Expect about 3 weeks of a wait period once the orders have been put in (the initial order) (for an item to be created and shipped).
The items will be made in the USA..so its not a made in China item.

The Carbon Fiber will be real molded CF
Made with the exact stuff the John CooperWorks Mini's come equipped with; so the quality is indeed very high.

The pricing will be more than fair as well.
Tony and I need at least 5-10 members to sign up onto a list for each part they would require to be made.

So far the items that we have been speaking of have been:

Slim GS300/400/430 Spoiler-Exact Fitment CF Lip which looks akin to: Just in Carbon fiber...

-I hope Mike doesn't mind me borrowing his pic.

I think CF would do well, as long as it is good quality stuff. Good luck with this

The center would he harder to make, we're trying to keep pricing low for C/L members.
But I guess anything is possible to be made. Just require signups .

Thanks guys for the interest! Please rest assured that nothing will be produced unless it is the highest of quality. Your thoughts & opinions on these items help us out a lot in bringing something to the GS crowd!
