Where did u get that and how much did it cost?
Do they make any other Carbon Fiber stuff like that for the rest of the blk. trim around the door because that blk. marks up so easily?
Email me direct. I have another set. Steve@LexusGrill.com

i'd like to quote Manaray here if I may "you own a Lexus not a Honda, fix it up ACCORDINGLY"

Have you asked Manaray's opinion on your 20" Enkei Terza's?

Just in case some of you were wondering what GStrance was talking about when he said "dynamic" and not just "one dimensional)

here are a couple of pics of my CF garnishes at almost the same angle as the initial pics of the CR sticker

VERY thick....I have had a set on my car for months and not a scratch. (That means 1 to 2 car washes a week, sun blistering heat and haters throwing coke on my ryde.) This stuff is tuff.
