Default Just Released NOVEL GS F Carbon Fiber Fender Ducts (Pics Inside)

Hey Guys,

Just released from NOVEL Racing Japan Lexus GS F Carbon Fiber Fender Ducts they will be coming to the US real soon, but first we wanted to ask the community for some feedback on the design.

The overall shape and design is to pay homage to the F by accenting the fender duct with a Carbon Fiber Duct F.

That the top of the cover does not follow natural transition line of fender messes me up.

I like it, was looking for a replacement for TOMs.

Does the carbon fiber have a cutout for the emblem or does the emblem need to be removed and reinstalled on top?

I really like it, but what is the overall thickness of this? It can go from nice touch to slightly bulky / gaudy if it sticks out alot near the door seam. That would be the only thing holding me back.

Love the idea of paying homage to the F. But i think a little tweak to it would make it look perfect. I made a photoshop but please excuse my amateur skills.

In case they’re still looking for our thoughts...the line should flow like this...

Nice render. Agree, much better line. I think it can do without any embossed/raised fins whatsoever...since it would resemble the weird oem body molding.
