LOL the parts are:

SEIBON CF IS-F Hood
SEIBON CF IS-F/2IS Trunk
SEIBON CF Fenders (Pair)

Same goes for the hood/trunk!!

Sorry to say, but Seibon's reputation as far as quality is nothing to brag about. Their IS F on display at SEMA last year didn't look convincing.

Well i wasnt trying to "brag"...

From what i know, the SEMA IS-F wasnt very modded & IIRC, it was stock...

These SEIBON parts are going straight to the body shop to get an extra layer of ClearCoat and then going on a particular IS-F that has other CF goodies on it inside/outside/all around.

And from my experience with SEIBON, everything fit well, the weave was 99% perfect (minor imperfections but im ****), and looked badass!

Thanks for the input though! Greatly appreciated!

Parts are already being ClearCoated & installed.. so i cant weigh them..

BUT, i can guarantee these parts are all really light!

Being a stock IS F at @ SEMA has no bearing on how the parts fit. That really doesn't change the fitment and quality of the parts. Clearcoat doesn't change the characteristics of the part itself as well. Just curious, but why are you having a body shop shoot another coat of clear?

Glad your experience is great. I can't say so much for the ones i've seen on my friend's cars. Their c/f parts don't fit well and the acrylic is yellowing making the c/f look green and that's after the parts have been sprayed with an additional clearcoat for protection. That's definitely not something I would put on my $62k Lexus.
