Default 2017 is350 f sport. Carbon fiber trunk, hood and diffuser

Hey guys i just wanted to update that i did purchase and install 2014 seibon carbon fiber hood and it fit great. I also purchased the c style carbon trunk. So the trunk fits on the 2017 but the tail light housing is longer than the housing on the trunk and it does not fit. I have contacted seibon to let them know that the trunk housing is too shallow to support the tail lights. I was hoping some of you guys with 2017s would also contact seibon on your intrest in the trunk that supports our tail lights. Here are pics.

That's interesting that Lexus actually changed the shape a bit. Sucks for your situation. However, maybe you could retro fit some 14-16 tail lights? Not sure if the harness is any different.

Default Trunk

I thought about that but I do like the new design of the tail lights. Im hoping seibon works on this issue so i can repurchase. Has anyone put the seibon rear diffuser on their 2017 is yet.

When you installed that trunk, were you able to install the back up camera as well? I know it’s been a min but I am thinking about getting the c trunk For my 2017 IS and retro fit the 2016 lights.

Talking about the tail-light carbon covers, due to a rear end crash I have an extra right side carbon addicts cover. I will part with it for shipping costs to a fellow LC owner in need. Just ask for honesty. Won't be but a couple $$ mail cost.
