are they actual pieces that you buy or do you just overlay your stock pieces with cf?

yeah, the large one is the ecu cover but these look to be the peices for the IS300 and GS300. ipt only makes it for the gs300 and is300. i know a few shops here in georgia that can mold onto your existing pieces but it is pretty expensive. i wish i knew more on the how to of carbon fiber overlaying. it isn't so hard just labor intensive

Those arent even real CF. Not a fan of the fake CF look. If it was real like the RMM engine cover it would be nice tho.

Try this place to cover your engine pieces.. I was going to use them before decide to just paint them.

Ed, sorry but I believe you are incorrect on this my friend.

Here's the back of the cover showing the unfinished CF
