Default Just got my carbon skinned door control covers back!

Hey Guys,

Thought I'd share some photos of my real carbon skinned door control covers.

I've already had the rear centre armrest done. Just the main centre console, ashtray lid and cubby lid to go!

Hope you like them:

The inner door handles have been painted in body colour as well. Just in case anyone was thinking they look different!

Looks great, was thinking of doing the same but haven't been bothered to look around at who can do them.

Mind me asking how much and where from?

Looks wicked, I like what you did with the inner door handles as well. Looking forward to seeing the centre console completed.

Cheers guys!

Costs so far are around $600 for the door switch covers and rear centre armrest.

Guy I use is UK based, and does a lot of carbon work for race teams etc.

It's quite a long process, but the results are worth the wait.

Good thing is the car remained useable whilst the parts were off being skinned.

The main front centre console will be a bigger job. Lots of other trim to work around.

Should set things off nicely once it's done though.

Another reason Im not a fan of Lexus USA. This is an option in Japan to have black cf interior parts. Part of the DST package that the states doesnt get.
Looks great !!

Looking great, I agree with above... why the F didn't come with black CF trim vs the ugly white CF.
