Default Gauging Interest: Carbon Fiber SC300/400 parts

A place was recently found that makes custom Carbon Fiber items, and I have talked with Tony at LuxuryMods, if enough interest there's a possibility to have Carbon Fiber parts made for the SC300/400 and other various Lexus'.
Expect about 3 weeks of a wait period once the orders have been put in (the initial order) (for an item to be created and shipped).
The items will be made in the USA..so its not a made in China item.

The Carbon Fiber will be real molded CF
Made with the exact stuff the John CooperWorks Mini's come equipped with; so the quality is indeed very high.

The pricing will be more than fair as well.
Tony and I need at least 5-10 members to sign up onto a list for each part they would require to be made.

So far the items that we have been speaking of for the SC300/400 have been:

Carbon Fiber door Pillar Appliques
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Factory Style Exact Fitment OEM LIP
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

PM Tony at LuxuryMods for possibilities of other CF parts. (at least 5 or so signups are needed for an item to be considered)

FYI, the plural of Lexus is Lexuses.

Put me down for both the carbon fiber pillar appliqués and OEM lip!

The prices will be fair...hence why one off items will not be done..(trying to do a group buy).. Fitment will be exact.

I dont mean to be a party pooper but as far as I am concerned "Luxury Mods" is still an official Club Lexus vendor. You cannot start up a group buy on an awesome item like this unless you are an official CL vendor. You can get a list going but no money will be collected. If you are good friends with Tony please contact him (or have him contact me) and have him start up a new thread in the Vendors forum so I can find the proper place for this thread. So for the mean time you can only gather interest. Carry on.

I've confirmed with Tony that he's involved and going to host the CF GB. He'll need to start a new post once folks figure out what parts they want.

lexus owners are the worst at committing to GB, especially if the price of the item is not stated or at "reasonable." not to sound like an *** but by whose standard is it reasonable by? my SC budget is completely different in size and orientation compared to say...ScottUrNot.

i would be interested in a CF lip for the 92-96 bumper. the only problem i see with that is competition from raceonusa since they have CF lips already for a decent price.

unless you are hinting to a price better then 300 bucks for a lip im in.

it will be (around the 300) range..[Tony can confirm] but you need a common consensus for what lip is needed..I'd figure the OEM one is getting harder to source and can be used by many so it would be the one that the mold was made for.

See here's the problem, CF hoods they make, and to make one woudl require a mold; it likely it'd be an under 5 copy item which means the cost would be higher. Same would go for other (novelty CF items) unless there are enough pledges to make the item
