Hey Club Lexus Crew, we have some very cool news for you guys...

We are now offering custom carbon fiber parts for the Lexus platform.

We have always offered custom carbon work for other platforms such as the R35 GTR through our BrandRR/GT-RR line, however, we are now offering our carbon services to our Lexus community.

This isn't some cheap 3M Vinyl that you stick onto the parts of your car. These aren't carbon covers that use double sided tape that sticks on either.

We take factory OEM Lexus cores and we bond real carbon fiber onto the cores to create OEM style carbon pieces for your Lexus so the quality, fit, and finish is superb. This process would be considered as a wet carbon layup. Many aftermarket parts vendors use this same process to produce carbon lip kits, spoilers, and accessories.

We started things off using the Lexus RC-F as our beginning platform. So far we've successfully created a set of carbon fiber mirrors for one of our Club Lexus members on his RC-F. We are also in the process of creating a carbon fiber center console for the RC-F which is currently in development. We should have one finished shortly.

If you have any questions or would like info on pricing, give us a shout and we'll be happy to help you. PM us, email us, or give us a call!!



**All custom carbon parts require a core charge. Contact us for details.**

Can you guys post a pic installed on a car with carbon fiber roof and spoiler package? If it's an infrared RCF, even better. Thanks!

Why thank you sir! We really liked how they turned out and we're quite proud of the end product.

Our work is done in-house. We have an ex-Ferrari carbon composites engineer working for us. He was a part of the Ferrari F1 program where he contributed to the production and execution of a the carbon parts on their F1 cars. We also have a guy that used to work for BOEING. I can't remember his official title right now LOL... but it had something to do with carbon production on their huge air liners.

Lead times will vary. Usually it's around 3-6 weeks but sometimes it might take shorter or a little longer. We clear coat these before they go out so the clear coat needs time to cure and harden.

Unfortunately we don't have a customer with the carbon package that has ordered one yet. I have one of an RCF in the Ultra Sonic Blue Mica that I can post up. Let me dig one up and I'll post it up for you.

Please let me know when that is complete.

Might think about this but in CF as well to compliment the center console:

Have you done a rear seat tray for an ISF? I'm looking to have my rear tray match the front trim which is silver carbon fiber.

Hey guys, as an udpate, we've collectively decided to engineer a carbon fiber interior upgrade kit for the IS-F. We are also looking into developing the upgrade kit in the silver trim as well.

We are building out some back end costs and procedures and we'll update you all as soon as we have some new info.

If you have any questions or would like additional info, please shoot me a PM with your name, phone number, and email address. Once we have more info, we'll contact each person directly to see what you guys need.

Thanks!!
