Talking CF Products
Well I was thinking yesterday what the next thing I want to do to my car is.. I decided I want to do a CF trunk, trunk spoiler, and hood. so I emailed Seibon inquiring about when they will have some stuff out for the IS-F. They emailed me back within 10 minutes and said in about 2 months they will be offering CF hoods, trunk, trunk spoiler, doors, fenders, and full lip kit for the IS-F all in CF!! I was excited so i just wanted to share with my fellow F'ers in case there are others looking for some CF items

Be careful with their stuff. Their C/F tends to turn green and warp overtime and fitment is very very poor. I would wait for another company to offer something.

I already know of another company working on similar parts but I can't really say yet.

I'm not knocking Seibon in any sense though in my experience they make quality stuff.

However there will be more variety as far as CF in the not too distant future.
