IS504

Hi,

Does anyone have photos of red carbon wrapped trim pieces in their black interior IS?

Thank you!

[SOAPBOX]There is no such thing as red carbon. Carbon fiber is black, end of story.[/SOAPBOX]

However there are hybrid fabrics with either Kevlar or fiberglass that can by dyed various colors. The only thing I have seen for the ISX50 with colored hybrid fabric came from a Japanese company called something like Runriot (can't find the website now, maybe someone else can come up with it?) They did have a few pictures on their website.

Note that while the fabric starts out as a bright red like this:



Addition of the resin makes is a-lot more dull, which will probably compliment the matador red cars quite nicely.



Now that summer is winding down and I'll have a bit more time for indoor projects I plan on doing some experimenting with wrapping some stuff in red Kevlar/carbon hybrid fabric. Kevlar sucks to work with, we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the reply.

I found RunRiot's website (www.runriot.net) they seem to do electronics stuff but found LEMs (www.lems.jp) through them, and found this photo.



Couldnt find any images with the items installed on the car though.

^ Yup, that's it! I do plan on replicating a pair of those "sail panels" in red, will post pics depending on how it works out, but don't hold your breath.

ok good luck! Red trims in moderation can look great, something like this but with a darker red like in the LEMs photo.
