There's a member on FB that is making these mud guards in CF. Just as good and pricing is very reasonable. Check out IS500 Performance Owners Club and do a search on mud guards.

If you use Facebook, join the is500 group "LEXUS IS500 F SPORT PERFORMANCE OWNERS CLUB".
Shout out to Frank on it about Mud guards and he will sort you out. I have them and they are great.

Peter's Car Parts is legit. I ordered my Work wheels through him and he's helped a bunch of IS500 people. Ping him again and I'm sure he'll get back to you

No no, sorry. I haven't gotten it yet because it just shipped. So far the experience has been fantastic!

I ordered about a week ago and he said it would probably ship around the 15th. He was spot on.
