love the steering wheel and interior trim. I hope you can make the vents and trim piece around the navi as well. I'm also interested in a CF grill for my IS250. PM me prices if all of that is available. Welcome to CL

Would you happen to make a CF version center console area for a MT ISX50?

I see you have it for the auto

So what we do here at CFElement is take your oem parts, whether it be plastic or fiberglass and we do a permanent REAL CF wrap job directly onto the surface of the piece.
So we have to send in our parts to you, and you wrap it with CF? Or do you also make everything from scratch and ship it to us, and we replace it with stock parts.

Definitely looking forward to the red stitching steering wheel (flat bottom if you can do that), some interior parts, and maybe shift **** (red stitching to match)

That looks like some damn good quality. I'd like to see a general price list though.

Thanx guys. trying to answer all the questions. Yes what we do is take in your oem parts, prep them and apply a permanent real cf wrap directly onto the piece. We dont sell stick on overlays or vinyls or anything like that. Putting a price list together right now is tough because i really havent done all the parts inside the car, for some other cars ive done the parts so many times i have set prices, but in some time i can get more familiar with the interior of the IS and put together a list. Right now the only parts ive done inside the car are the switch panels ($200) and the 3 console parts that i pictured($250). Ive been doing it for some time now and i may in some time get some parts in here to use a core swaps but for now all parts must be mailed into us here in the shop. Or come by and we can pull it all out for you. And reinstall. The shop is located in central, NJ. South River is the town. Suede wheels can be done. Ive done more than a few of them in suede. Actually we use alcantara. If i dont do the stitching i have an upholsstery shop i use sometimes who actually better than me. But that is determined when the parts are getting done. Right now for steering wheels i do have one wheel in stock thats all finished and up for sale with core exchange. Its the red stitched one with perforated leather. PM me if interested.

$450 for Interior Pieces? that is well below other prices that I have seen which are closer to $600-$800. I'd be more interested if core swapping was available as I would be forced to drive a vehicle with no interior panels while I waited.

I know my prices are much better than what some guys charge. I can keep them low since im not a huge company and i can also beat them in customer service. Since its just me and an occasional helper in the shop. Im just getting into the Lexus crowd, or at least trying to. Give me some time and ill work on some core swap parts. Ive been big in with the nissand/infiniti guys for years now and have core swaps for ALOT of their stuff. It does make it easier but for the interior i dont need any switches or buttons and it is very driveable without it all in there. Just a few days not looking so pretty.

Any plans on doing the side skirts that bolt on underneath the existing side skirts? 'I forget what they are called.
