Toyota came out with a dash kit for my 08 Tundra, same fake carbon plastic crap. I mean really why would you put that on a fifty thousand dollar truck? It's like using pleather on the seats! We're not modding a Honda Civic here people, it's a frickin Lexus!

Below was a TRD production piece that was offered for the IS300
Example: TRD Carbon Style Front Grille for the IS300 (Painted)

^^ Do you mean the OEM painted IS Silver/Gunmetal Trim??
Those parts actually do cost well over $300...
The reason for the high cost on the silver trim is because you actually get a whole new center console piece with shifter indicator and cupholder.. The 4 door switches and ash tray cover are not that expensive individually.
Now moving on to the parts in question. This certainly reminds me of painted or CF Style platic finishing... found on the TRD IS300 racing grill.
A bit too pricey if thats the case..
Is anyone interested in a Brand New OEM Bird's Eye Maple Wood Interior for the IS?? Its out of 2008 with 0 miles on it.. it's valued over $1,000

I'm surprised that a FAKE product is being sold from a reputable establishment... I would expect that from someone on eBay... but not a company that gets a LOT of our business as Lexus owners. It's one thing if they want to call it Carbon Fiber STYLE, but not trying to passing it off as genuine carbon fiber...

The original Carson kit at about $375 were NOT stickers. They were real CF weaves on a solid substrate. Stickers are something you peel off a backing, the Carson CF kit was no such thing.

I still would rather get the 09 gray wood trim over this anyway, but this is nice because it is actual replacement pieces. If I had a choice between real CF overlays for $300-$400 and this for a $1000 I would pick this.
If I was considering this I would wait a bit to see if Sewell comes out with any more pieces that match, like a shifter or vents etc.
