I know HW Motorsports in Garden Grove can do it. I'm not sure how much but contact Will over there I know they just repaired a set for an IS.

I do like the sporty side with the blackout chrome (what method did you use)?

To be honest not big on stick on CF or this vinyl CF look craze.

first you asked for our opinions. dont get mad if everyone doesnt like it. it doesnt matter if its 3m or some other no name company, imo all cf vinyl looks very fake.



vs



cf vinyl does not give you that glossy finish that you get when you add the resin to real cf.

i am NOT MAD at anyone or anything...
i was just sharing my views on the CF.
every1 got different views when it comes to CF, but resin turns yellow in like a year, if you have that glossy CF before then you understand, if you notice on my ride, i am not into that chrome or glossy look.
but that just me...
GOT luv for all LEXUS........

let me get this straight. you created THREE threads for your first 3 posts, i merged them for you and posted a message to ask you to learn how to put everything in one thread instead of making multiple threads. it was a nice request as a moderator, please let me know if you can abide to that or not. i am awaiting your answer.

as a member, my question to the overlay, are they real cf or just the pattern? if it's the pattern, then yes, they are completely fake

hmmm sucks to assume. ive had several real cf parts. most parts that you get are UV treated so they dont fade/fog/yellow etc..

i understand you might not be going for the glossy look, im just stating my opinion on it. if you like it, thats all that matters. mod your car for you and not anyone else.

I'm a fan of the DI-NOC CB as it gives off the CB look and feel, I'm contemplating using it on my 2GS. I would recommend shooting a couple coats of clear over it to make it stand out a bit more.
