Thanks very much

Yeah I have PM'd Richard from Prodip, hopefully he can achieve what I am after and it doesn't cost the earth, no idea what this sort of thing costs!

Payment sent to Prodip and delivery arranged of my dash, cant wait to get this one sorted. Think it should look fantastic once done.

Also ordered the matching gear knob from the US

Well I just received some photos from Richard @ Prodip Hydrographics of my dash panels so thought I would share them with you all.

I cannot wait to get these fitted along with my new F-Sport gear knob which is currently going through customs!

Would this be a bad time to tell you that those parts are available in real carbon fibre...

Probably.......

Nah if they look anything like those light carbon fibre ones from the ISF then Im glad I got them dipped, also the main reason for doing it was to get the F-Sport badge concealed under the top coat

Sparkystav Love them mate, very nice!

Thanks I love them too cant wait to get them in!

As far as the carbon dash from Lexus goes only 1 I have ever seen is this one which to me looks horrendous! If they do a darker one like mine I haven't seen it before, the reason I wanted the darker one was to match the knob

No, there are some normal dark wet carbon trims out there. I was tempted to buy a set when I saw them but they were not cheap.

Never seen a set, especially not in RHD, either way I'm sure they will be a lot more expensive than I paid to have these done. Also they wouldn't have the F-Sport logo on which is what I really wanted to set these apart from what others have done

The dash piece turned up today and they look amazing, over the moon with them.

These are not great pictures as I have had very little time to fit them and the car is a right mess, but should give you an idea. Really happy with the finish. The logos look superb and the match to the genuine F-Sport gear knob is superb so all in all a great job.

Looks so much better than the strange metallic blue that Lexus originally used on the car, no idea why as the blue didn't match with anywhere else on the car.

Feels much sportier inside not, much less "Grandad"
