That'd be dope and a whole lot better then spraying it or wrapping it. As far as I know, no there's not. Mines wrapped; same with the window trim

None that I could find. I bought some plastidip and will dip mine soon. A local wrap place quoted me $200 to wrap the grill

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but they are located in Taiwan and specialized in Carbon Fiber and Lexus. I am working with them to get my diffuser from them.

I just plasti dip mine myself. I like the matter black effect, and I think it looks great with the glossy spindle shape grille.

They are making me a grill rite now. I already have my grill wrapped satin black but I wanted to add some carbon to the front to match the rear of the car. Found these guys on ebay.

Only issue with the grill is they need an oem grill to start so you either need to buy one or send them yours.

Looks cool (not digging the F logo in place of the Lexus logo), but having to buy another grill or send mine makes it a dealbreaker for me. You'd think they would have a template grill they could use instead of having to ship your own to Taiwan

Great, just like wrapping the car. Probably will last a few years before doing it again

Theres a lot of custom Chinese carbon fiber makers on TaoBao (Chinese Ebay). The shipping should be expensive, but I bet the product cost is minimal.
