At least if you do that all the CF will match inside and out. It should also be fairly easy to do - just remove the emblem, put down an oval of CF, and reapply the emblem on top. No gaps.

I've cf wrapped a lot of hoods, hatches, roofs etc. And I've wanted to do my interior for a while now. Did you cf wrap your air vents? I haven't wrapped anything with so many edges and detail. And if so is it hard?

Do u have a pic of your pillars? Did you do just the b pillar area?

How did you wrap the grille? Was that done with one piece of the wrap or did you have to cut out a couple pieces? Thanks.

Hopefully someone can point us in the right direction for these. I really want to get ones for my steering wheel for sure. the front grill emblem I can do without but I'd definitely get it if there was a legit seller

Just got mine installed. Fitment is 95% spot on. It sticks out a little in the left side on the lower part of the L and top left too. Also the carbon fiber pattern isn't going in the direction I'd like it to be. But not too bad. Worth the money IMHO.

Default Looking for pics of cf inserts

I'm looking for distance pics/full car picture of cf inserts on lexus emblem of trunk. I can't seem to find any pics or examples of the cf insets that show off how they flow with the overall car. Preferably starfire pearl but any examples would be great of trunk emblem.
