Hey Jason, here is an idea for your center caps. Bluebatmobile has some sort of carbon fiber looking vinyl overlay material. Mayby he could cut out some circles from this in the size of your silver center caps. Or maybe you can get this material and cut out some circles yourself. You could put them on and tie in the center caps to the body kit.

Just a thought.

we raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarely get any one coming in with "feathering" issues...

if they do, we re-align it and the problem goes away...

but so far... I would have to say pretty much... not really...

I agree completely, but as you said, to each his own. If I had the money I would try a few things similar, but to me it looks like an 18 yr old import tuner car now, and takes away from the Z. Nice job tho, seems you put a lot of work into it.

I have one question. For a $925 price increase over the fiberglass kit, what are the +/- effects? Which do you guys like better, and most importantly, how much lighter is the CF kit?

Don't judge Jason's car by the pictures. I saw it in person yesterday at the SoCal 350Z Club shooting event that Mr. Twisted and his gun club hosted. It looks great! When the sun glints off the carbon fiber it gives off almost a moving pattern.

I liked it a lot.........you have to see it in person.
