Default New goodies from Think Design

The guys over a Think Design have been busy - I noticed a bunch of new items available on their website tonight:

Carbon fiber replacement panels for your steering wheel:


Carbon fiber bezel for your instrument cluster:


A "big throttle" for pretty much the entire Lexus lineup:


They're also selling the OS Giken 1.5 way LSD for the entire IS line:


...and a bunch of other stuff at their website, http://www.think-design.jp/index.html

Ooooo got me excited about the throttle body.

Interior pieces look awesome, i wonder how much the dark CF cluster surround is.

somehow i have doubts as to how much our engines would benefit from being able to dump more air in via the larger throttle body...arent we pretty much maxed out on that aspect?

every engine needs more air. that's why there are turbos and superchargers. but I'm not sure about our engines since we can't get much more hp with those...
