Default Carbon Fiber interior trim replacements

I'm going to order the same product shown in this tread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=331404 through Darkside Motoring but for hundreds of dollars less. PM me if you want to jump on this too.

Real CF and it's a complete replacements to the OEM's . It's the same set up as Doug's in the thread and by the pictures it looks glossy so they have a coat.

No, we cannot discuss GB without them being a CL vendor. I think he was just telling people about a new product or an alternative? correct me if im wrong.

BTW: Shoganai you got a PM. Thanks

This is not a GB. I'm just letting you guys know that I'm ordering this kit and who I'm ordering it through. The PM is for the person to ask for to get the same deal I am.

You got a PM Shoganai.

I also asked this in the PM but you stated that their direct replacement, meaning it takes the whole Birds Eye Maple trim and raplce it with these, but from the pics you provided, they look like overlays. Could you confirm which is which?

These are NOT overlays. They are direct replacements meaning you take out the old and replace w/ the new...

They are using the same pics from this link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=331404
on where he is ordering it from.

Basically think of them as brand new replacement pieces meaning Full CF not overlays. I never seen the CF overlays but in those pics by the original poster "ddquach" they look really good. But Shoganai is pretty having a different shop special make them and is simply passing the word around that not only VIPsalon can make the interior peices.



Im going to ask if they can make the weaves like the IS-F so going the other way

Sorry guys it's not loaded on his site since they are not advertising these for sale. He is doing a special order for me. You need to contact DS.
