Default Yay or Nay on these

Dont really know if it would be considered rice or not but what do you think about these CF inserts? Has anyone purchased them? I usually like to add subtle pieces to my cars but not sure about this?

my freind has these on his Tc, they look ok. I dont think C/F is rice as along as it is used tastefully. this is border line IMO.

Do you have any other C/F on the car?

that is what I think borderline. I will not have anything else CF and was mainly trying to seperate from a stock looking Lexus ( not that their is anything wrong with stock) but little things. I did the red overlays on the taillights ,getting Tein H tech installed in the morning and ordered some wheels and then will order probably the Greddy exhaust then I am done or the wife will pack the bags. but if I dont like these I can always take them off I guess

It is because at the same time she is packing I might as well drop the car off at Lexus

Not rice, but a waste of money

I have them, and I love the way it looks with my black pearl emblems (another "waste of money"...). I only put the front set on, though, because the trunk emblem would have been too much. It's really subtle - you have to look to notice it.

I don't think it is noticable... if you installed... anyway as long as you like it why not?
