I too was looking at this listing. I think this kit also sells in ebay for the same price. CF interior kit is on my to do list. So I'm sitting on the fence as to buy this or not. Geeh... who wants to pull the trigger and TOFT???

i am sure its all the same kit. One MFG out there is making them and many are selling the same part. I would put $$ that its the same as the Silver CF in my car. Pay with a Credit Card and if you dont like it return and put the fight!

Just order them the silver looks better IMO.

Hey, why didn´t you read my posts?

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=30
I have it for quite some time now and still love it!
Btw, I share the same opinion as passnu2 that there is only one manufacturer and different distributors. Also car-gym and autohobbyasia seem to be the same company as I got an automated e-mail from car-gym asking me to give them a rating on e-bay. Car-gym itself isn´t there but looking at location, price & pics there´s a strange coincidence.

You can get a carbon fiber kit a lot less then $200 and they are made in the USA.

The only problem i have with these kits is when you open the cup holder, you will see the red wood underneath the overlays.

I know there is a small gap on the sides, but that can be covered by some electrical tape before applying the CF overlays
