I think it depends on the quality of the cf. I just searched for "lexus is cf roof spoiler" on ebay. So maybe I got lucky?

I think putting a coat of wax on it helps

I thought about getting these instead of vinyl wrapping mine this time since they are thicker and have the real shiny carbon fiber look http://www.ebay.com/itm/140920294783...84.m1423.l2649

Couple updates

Just finished the 350 brake upgrade









Added a little bit of carbon fiber





A couple small issues with the overaly being a bit too big but cant complain for getting everything for $40










Finally installed my side skirts!

Looks great!! Really like the new brakes setup and sides! I may have to "accidently" hit something with my OEM sides for an excuse for "replacement"

Nope, the only thing I had to do was relocate the fender tab on the driver side. For some reason, the tab was eating up my tire but only on the driver side. No rolling or anything else.

I may decide on using spacers in the future so I would need to roll them eventually

Looks amazing Bob! Absolutely love the 350 front bbk upgrade, the rotors make it look mean as hell :P Are the Vertex sides authentic?

Those Velgen wheels also set the car off very nicely. They look like the perfect mix between an aftermarket and OEM wheel. Classy and understated but not unnoticeable. Would you mind if I asked for the specs of the wheels and tires? Did you need a camber kit at all for the front or rear?

I waited a month for those damn rotors so they better look mean lol. And no, those are reps from nextmod.

Yeah no prob, theyre 20x9 + 35 up front and 20x10.5 + 45 in the rear. I only have about -1.5 camber up front and -2.5 in the rear so I didnt bother using any camber kits
