carbon fiber on IS350?
Has anyone found and installed carbon fiber parts for their IS and have pics?
Sorry if this has already been posted: from SEMA.
I wonder how a CF front lip would look on a SGM?

I'm thinking the place for carbon fibre on the IS is in the engine bay. Replace all those plastic coverings with carbon pieces... I'm sure some aftermarket place will do it at some point.
Carbon fibre exterior bits... I'll pass. They also tend to weather pretty poorly.

It looks even worse if you take the engine covers off.
Ah well, I guess its not how the motor looks, its how it performs.
About CF parts on the outside, hmmm I guess a CF lip wouldnt be bad. Though I would stay away from CF hoods. They rattle and are prone to warping and creases. AS a plus though, you can hear your motor better.

fine, you want decals...
i'm a minimalist myself. i'd NEVER put these on mine...even if the parts were free.

sorry i didn't edit these pics, but i didn't want to use the bandwidth.

I actually saw this in person and thought it wasn't to bad. Depends on the style your looking to go for your IS.
