Hey guys, I posted some more pics on the first page along with some notes on the fitment. Now let me try to run down this list see if I can answer some of them

Would love to see how Silver really shows in the car.
Absolutely, please feel free to come down anytime you want. We can take the kit out to your car and lay them on top to give you an idea of how they look. With your permission I can even take some more pics with the kit inside to post up for the rest of the members.

They are backed by a thin 3M doubleside tape, so basically peel and stick.

Feel free to come on down anytime you have free.

someone will buy it and write a review for all CL members.

it's possible that one member may be gutsy enough to remove the stock trim and install the overlay as a replacement.

6 months to just over a year of being on the market this comes out. it will satisfy most of the 2000+ per month people buying an IS if they are even interested.

count me as STILL waiting for a true fitment, i'll try to be happy with the dusty wood.

The kit in those pics was not taped down, just laid on top so the gaps are visible.


I am also working with the vendor now trying to get as much info on materials used, 1 or two ply, baked or resin coated, also pricing of course. If there are anymore details you guys need, please post up so I can get the info.

i have vented seats, but i'm sure those of us that don't have them are wondering whether they are available w/o the vented slots.

Hmmmm, Seen them posted on the forums before...

Glad to see it finally being released. I would like to come down to see it Luis, but you know me. Traffic going there sucks, and I make it when you guys close.

These are the only options for the kits. Nothing in wood.

I just got a chance to post it up so I could add pictures and add the watermark to them. That price is the list price online for regular online customers. Once I get your correct pricing I will update in this post, and if it is good then I can do the GB for you guys.
