Can't wait to see the finished product, Rob! Now I'm jealous - get on the phone with your pals at Seibon and tell them to make me some CF fenders!

Glad your experience is great. I can't say so much for the ones i've seen on my friend's cars. Their c/f parts don't fit well and the acrylic is yellowing making the c/f look green and that's after the parts have been sprayed with an additional clearcoat for protection. That's definitely not something I would put on my $62k Lexus.
Im having a body shop clear it first because i heard the "Urban Legend" that if CF parts dont get cleared first, they tend to turn yellow, and i have seen numerous hoods, trunks, and hatchs turn yellow and when i asked if they got it cleared first, they said no...

In no way was i trying to argue or start any drama but just trying to state my point too

I agree about not putting that on a $62k Lexus but all of my CF parts have been on my car for either over/almost a year and have not had any problems from yellowing after i got them cleared.

Thanks for the info though!

Ill be sure to post close up of the fitment!

No Excuses ROBERT!!!!!

Bring a certified scale to the Body Shop....

Weigh the Carbon Fiber parts off the car... Then weigh the OEM parts once they are removed from the car...

Git-R-Done!!!

DJKhanvict & I have a joke going on about HiProfile's Starfire Pearl IS-F & my IS250...

Both white, now both with CF all over, and going to have a similar wheel set-up

and also the fact that everything on that car, was ordered by me

Looks like we've got three potential buyers already! How many does Seibon need to begin production - 20? Let me know what I need to do to get this thing moving.
