I originally had plastidip on them, but didn't care for the matte look. In hindsight, I am not sure about how long these CF covers will last as I've heard CF fades. I probably should've just wrapped them in gloss black or CF vinyl as I could always redo them - but i jumped on a 15% eBay coupon.

I bought mine from eBay as well and the fitment is not perfect. I do predict that these will fade eventually, but so far so good.

Hi guys I just bought a 2016 IS350 F Sport Series 3 with F sport intake and exhaust. I replaced all the interior lights, side view mirror puddle lights and reverse tail lights with 8000k LEDs. Also installed the oem illuminated door sill. For the summer time I’m getting Work M8R wheels in bronze and 19s.

Looks awesome, congrats! Will be cool to see it with those wheels installed.

DAAAAM that fitment is tight. If you don't mind, what specs are the wheels and what kind of suspension you running?

pretty conservative setup. didn't want that whole stretch, poke, slammed look everyone does.
suspension is just BC coilovers.
F: 19x8.5 +29 225/35
R: 19x9.5 +34 255/30
thinking about going 255/35 for the rears next time. front could use a 5mm spacer.
But if I were to buy these wheels new, I'd go with 19x9.5 +35 front and 19x10.5 +35 rear with the same tire setup.

You would rub for sure with 10.5 +35. How are you not rubbing in the rear right now? I've read about a lot of people running 9.5 +35 and rubbing on here.
