Default Carbon Fiber Fenders for ISx50

I came across this Ebay auction for a pair of Carbon Fiber Side Skirts OEM style for ISx50. I am not sure if anyone has seen it or has it on their car. I hope this is not a repost. I guess this would be a good part for carbon lovers. The quality seems pretty good and would probably look good on a drift/race-prepped IS.

Cheers!

I never was a fan of CF fenders, they just are random to me. Also the vents kill it too IMO.

I like but dont think it would work with my paint layout. Would love to see some pics installed. If I do get them im gonna paint over the CF and do a little design with the vent.

Engine covers look interesting, not feeling the fenders though.

Wow, that's pretty expensive for just engine covers in CF.

Well consider the F-sport engine cover (singular) is basically around 800 the additional 3 covers for that price looks like a steal
