Carbon Fiber headlight rings ....

Did a search as I think I saw that someone had found and installed carbon fiber headlight rings a while back, but can not find anything on it.

Anyone here know of these things?
Thanks

g'damn, nice find. check out the link on the left underneath "DME Tune" its got a bouncy NEW .gif next to it. The link shows a bunch of rides their company has tuned, I want the Cool Blue S Cabrio with BBS LMs and PSS9s, its got an interesting exhaust setup too.

I thought he had bought them and actually had them, that's why I asked. A lot fo the eBay CF is just sticky taped, not real.

Thanks for reading the Japanese... but I just went to google and let them translate ... works great. Just disappointed they read as stickies.
