Hi

I am looking for Carbon parts to replace this black plastic.
Does anyone know who makes it?
Thanks

Thanks, will do.
But Lexus told me that they do not know neither.
It puzzels me with all the carbon in the car, why Lexus didn't make that parts carbon.
It bugs me when I am driving...

Congratulations on your LFA.

It seems like the market for a CF mirror part in the aftermarket world would be limited (I.e. I can't imagine someone offering one).

As a lower cost solution, how about having the parts painted in body color (removes the "part sticks out visually because of being a different color from those that surround it" thing?

Plastic is lighter than carbonfiber. I mean, right? It's just CFRP without the CFR part.

When the strength of carbonfiber is not actually needed, there's no point to use it.

Lexus offering it as a purely cosmetic option is a different issue.
