I got my set in the mail today. Haven't unboxed it yet. I'll try to get a picture up later tonight and edit it into this post.
At some point, I'll put the luggage in the LFA to see how it fits. Been super busy lately though, so might not get around to that for a while.

Whoops, forgot about this for a while - pics edited into the OP. I'll take a close-up of the weave sometime later... and try to get around to showing how they fit in the LFA "trunk".

- "Made from a carbon fiber-like material, the case also features aluminum parts to accent the black color, resulting in a high-end appearance."

Here is the old press release
Lexus and Tumi Partner to Create Premiere Custom Luggage for 2012 LFA Supercar
Leading International Travel, Business and Lifestyle Brand Designs Specialty Pieces for World-Class Lexus Model
NEW YORK – Aug. 12, 2010 – Tumi today announced its partnership with Lexus to create a premium line of travel cases customized to complement the look and feel of the 2012 LFA supercar. The dynamic style of the LFA requires a special design of Tumi luggage which will accompany the car in select markets, including the US and Europe. The vehicle identification number (VIN) corresponding with the owner's LFA will also be inscribed on each bag to complete the exclusive experience.
Lexus approached Tumi knowing the brand's expertise in travel, business and lifestyle would satisfy its consumers' discerning taste. "Like Lexus, Tumi has exceptional brand heritage in performance and function, and the highest level of excellence in design," said Jerome Griffith, president and chief executive officer for Tumi. "We are excited about the partnership with Lexus because it will further communicate Tumi's reputation for outstanding quality and craftsmanship."
The unique line of Tumi cases for the LFA supercar has a hybrid construction, and is styled using components that are directly related to the appearance of the car. Never before have a hard shell, aluminum and carbon fiber-like material, been used in this manner to execute special cases. The custom sizes enable the pieces to be easily packed and lifted from the cargo area. Each case is designed with a distinct purpose. The smaller "concourse" piece is proportioned to fit the essentials for track racing, including gloves and shoes, or items for a quick getaway. The larger "coastal" case is for longer trips when a change of clothes is required. Each piece has an asymmetrical retractable handle and shoulder strap as well as non-skid feet, which hold the luggage in place while the car is in motion.
"The LFA's unparalleled, hand-built quality dovetails with Tumi's dedication to creating excellence," said Dave Nordstrom, Lexus vice president of marketing. "The custom luggage enhances the LFA experience and demonstrates Lexus' dedication to making each encounter with the brand memorable."
Initial deliveries of the Lexus LFA will begin in January 2011. LFA production is limited to 500 units worldwide, each being hand-assembled, with approximately 20 scheduled for production each month. For more information visit www.Lexus-LFA.com.
