Default Carbon fiber Z!?

Does anyone have a carbon fiber Z. Im not talking bout a tuner car, but someone on the board. Just curious because they have for the 350Z in CF---hoods, doors, front fenders, front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, and rear hatch. The only thing that would be left alone would be the roof and the rear fenders. Anyone anyone???????

The closest one I've seen is the board member Rickdogg. Check out his Z in the online magazine JTuned

The problem with most of the companies that offer the front bumper, hood and front fenders is that they weigh more than stock in most cases due to poor fiberglass work.

There is a widebody Z from Mastergrade that has a "CF roof," but I think it is an overlay or some sort of stick on which is pure rice IMO. There is also another black/carbon Z from Carbon Creations that has a lot of CF parts, but it also carries a heavy curb weight since the quality is subpar.

going for the cf look or for weight reduction?
look - carbon creations or something would be fine
weight reduction - modify stock parts (aluminium isnt much heavier than fiberglass+cf coating..)

Chebesto has mostly carbon fiber, he has the Topsecret Style Cf kit by fiber images, but he also has the hatch and fenders made byu them as well. But i am not sure whether or not he is going to get the doors too. His car is freaking hot....
