Hey guys. I own a 2010 Lexus IS250 and I'm looking a carbon fiber dash kit. I'm looking for legit carbon fiber not wrapped. Can you guys put up some links? Thanks!

Personally I wouldn't recommend a dash lot, had one and truthfully it bugged the hell out of me because it didn't completely cover all the trim, you could still blatantly see the old trim at certain views.
I took mine to a local trim shop and got all my trim pieces wrapped in carbon fiber, then he put epoxy and clear coat over it to make it like stock. Best decesion I could have made and it only cost $250
Hope this helps because if your as **** about your car as I am, don't buy a dash kit!

Welcome to CL. Check this thread. It's ALL carbon fiber. I had the carbon dash kit. It doesn't wrap around corners too well but it's glossy which is what I liked vs. wrapping it. There's also a "show your interior thread" if you use the search function. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...er-thread.html

I think you are confusing fake carbon fiber look vinyl with the real thing. You can wrap interior pieces with real carbon fiber just like you can wrap them with vinyl that looks like carbon fiber. TheVille had his interior pieces wrapped in real carbon fiber; epoxy is an absolute necesity, and the clear coat is a good idea to better protect the carbon.
