Default Real Carbon Fiber Interior Options

So I'm interested in upgrading my 3M DI-NOC "fake" carbon fiber overlay interior to a "real" carbon fiber interior, with clearcoat. What options are out there? I'm aware of Think Design (but I couldn't find a link on L-Tuned Parts or elsewhere for the interior trim) and FX Auto (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...bon-fiber.html). Is there anything else out there?

Check this thread for a Think Design black CF interior: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...t-project.html Looks so sick. He dropped over $1,000 easily on that though.

Carson had a quality overlay as well, but they are now discontinued. Pictures of Carson's product here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...od-trim-2.html

Car-Gym's overlay, which appears similar to Carson's, is still available: http://www.cargym.com/lexus-is250is3...it-p-1327.html

That is my car with the Carson kit. It is very high quality and after being in for over 3 years it still looks perfect. No marring, scratching or yellowing. It is unfortunate that it is no longer made.
