Thanks ultm8, the CF accents should hopefully compliment the maroon very nicely.

Progress..

Had few issues with this maroon burgundy color. It was a very hard color to work with and perfect.
But Central Pine showed that they are always up for a challenge and continued with the car and this puzzle of a color.



















More to come..

I am happy to be the owner of the 1st Black Pearl Complete body kit in the U.S for the Lexus LS430. I have been patiently planning and waiting for it, for sometime now, and I am very glad it all finally came true.


The front bumper is a one-off design, with deleted license plate holder + added an extra strip of LED's and double lower lips are skinned in real Carbon Fiber. Side skirts are skinned with CF also.
All the way back to the rear bumper, I had the diffuser and the upper strip exposed in CF. With the 12 shot LED strip in the middle. I will also install the Black Pearl quad tips later on this month, just haven't had much time and been very busy lately.

On the trunk I also have the Black Pearl spoiler skinned in CF.



My appreciation and all of respect goes to the man who put in all the work to perfect this kit, and his help with ordering the kit from Japan. The car was produced by Mr. Sam from Central Pine of Orange, CA. They took care of ordering the kit, installing, and even painting it. They know what they're doing, and expect professional work with attention to meticulous detail. Even some detail that you haven't looked at before, Sam will point out.

Basically, they'll go out of their way to satisfy their customer.
Hit them up on Facebook, or IG to get in touch.

Also much thanks goes to Mr. Canaan, owner of Dinmann, USA made Carbon Fiber parts.
He is a SEMA vendor with very high quality parts, and very well known around the BMW owners and forums. They can skin any part you want/need, in real Carbon Fiber.
Also a delight to work with and one of the best carbon fiber layer out there, if not the best.
Find him on IG under "DINMANNCF".




Sorry for the not so great pictures. It is raining non-stop over here in Oregon. But thankfully I was able to snap some pics.

Still to install the Black Pearl Quad tip to the mufflers.
