Default Lextasy.com - Dash Kits?

Searched around a bit, trying to find some feedback on dash kits sold via www.lextasy.com

I am looking for carbon fiber dash overlays and it seems that they are the only ones that makes them. I own a shop of my own and have seen some very poor products.

Anyone have experience with them? Or does anyone know of any other compaines out there that makes some good quality ones?

Thanks in advance for any help!

but also man.. you sure you want to stick all that crap to your dash? to each his own but imo it makes the interior look cheap. when i bought this 430 it had woodgain dash kit pieces everywhere.. you could even tell it was one of the more expensive real wood kits.. still, didnt help. one of my first "mods" to that thing was stripping all those stupid pieces off and rubbing the dash down with vinyl cleaners and goo gone for two hours.. lexus made the gs's interiors pretty nice straight from the factory... its already got wood trim in the right places..fake carbon fiber stick on? eh.

I agree when I bought my gs in december I put a dashkit on my car that was made by Sherwood and it had printed pieces as opposed to cutouts .Color was way off and once summer hit crap started curling up like bacon on a hot skillet $250 bucks wasted and a lot of work removing and cleaning, oem is better, dashkits fall in the same group as those stick on fender vents GHETTOLICIOUS but its your whip man to each his own.

What I am looking for to replace my stock wood trim is carbon fiber. Does anyone out there make a kit that replaces the complete wood trim with CF?

Search for Carbon Fiber, there is a registry or "official" CF post with losts of CF parts. One company does make replacements as well as real CF additional pieces.
