Soooo… Its been a long time coming. I teased these a little bit before but, I’ve finally got the carbon fiber trim pieces that were sent off to Japan to get done. It was all coordinated by Luis at Carson (vendor here) primarily through the folks at LEMS. I posted earlier about the fitment issues with the LEMS JDM mirror housings. All of these parts are USDM factory pieces that were acquired here and then sent over to Japan to be done in CF. I’ve started to install all of these parts and no fitment issues yet. Once complete and I have the last piece that I’m waiting for, the “pi`ece de r`esistance”, I will get some good shots of everything put together. For now, here are some shots of the parts after they arrived prior to install. I’m also planning to have these parts clear bra’d. My PPF installer wants to do the mirrors once they are on the car. The other parts will be done prior to install.

Front center console panel
Rear seat divider
Side view mirror housings
Hood vent surround

Not trying to be stand offish but, I usually don't like to quote prices on this kind of stuff because it usually sends a thread in the wrong direction and ends up getting the OP flamed because he or she spent too much for what they wanted. Also, things have changed because at the time I ordered it the exchange rate was a very favorable 1:120 and now it's hovering around 1:100-104. The mirrors ran about the same as on Bulletproof's site or LEMS site once you factor in the cost of me having to buy the USDM oem housings. The same with the front console center panel. I probably could have had this stuff done stateside but, I had already verified that the LEMS stuff matched the factory stuff and I really wanted it to match.

I know you do and I'm sure you will soon enough. Wait till you see last piece. Also waiting on DCTMS to finish my wheel. They are now kinda waiting on me as the custom "Y" trim piece we are trying to do didn't work right the first time and I'm trying to source a reasonably priced factory piece for them to make a 3D printer copy of. If you look at their thread you'll note that I discovered that their piece won't fit the RC.

I want your coilovers and 2-piece rotors. Probably waiting until the end of the year to do that.

You knew what you wanted and you made it happen. Big props.
Those pieces look great.

Bulletproof will be making my center console soon. Just like the one Demik has on his build. Hope it matches the oem door pieces.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've been happy with the way things have turned out so far. Sorry for the delay in getting pics up. I've been waiting to have proper shots done as there are still some parts that are outstanding. It has been a LOOOONGG wait. Because the carbon pattern/contrast doesn't really show up well with iphone pics or my poor photo skills I've been holding off on a shoot so I won't have to incur the cost (and time) twice.
