Default New Carbon Fiber Find!

I don't know if this is a repost, but I found this. Not my taste but looks like a good fit for those that like CF

Looks like someone stuck a strip of duct tape there.

i think if you had it all the way around (front lip, skirts and rear lip) it'd look okay. but you'd need a dark color car to make it subtle. you know you see a shiny black IS and then you notice the carbon fiber trim that makes you go "ooO! nice touch."

lol... thats why its time to trade her in

these are all over ebay! the rears remind me of the Fab but they dont look as nice IMO. I dont like this kit but I dont like many of the kits for the IS. They dont flow with the body lines of the car.

What? You don't think the twin fart can tips get you an extra .5 second in the quarter?

Sometimes rice is better eaten than seen.
