Default Carbon Fiber License Garnish for 2IS?

We have received a good bit of interest from 2IS members to make our CF garnish that we currently have the the IS300 for the IS250/350. A little bit of history: TRD made a similar piece in limited quantities for the Altezza but it was plastic with CF paint. It was a very cool aesthetic piece. We adapted it a bit and converted it to real CF.






We later incorporated the "Trunk Bar" making it a one piece design.






As some of you may or may not know there is high cost in tooling and materials to produce these. Although there seems to be an interest we would need a serious commitment in order to go into production.

We are here to gauge interest so let us know what you think!

I am interested!

Please add me to this list

Maybe if we can try to photoshop some pics for others to get an idea what this will look like on the 2IS. I think this will be a great addition to the 2IS

It looks good, How about a whole cover to the lower half of the trunk so I can get rid of the emblems without having to fill-in and repainted the holes? For the right price, i would easily take that route if possible.

Interesting ..... I'd like to know more. Right now I have a CF license plate frame + CF "L" insert. Would like to see how a full CF insert piece looks.
