The Evo-R ones leave the bottom and the edge to the rear uncovered.
I was thinking of these:

Where to find: Don't know, go to varis USA and check the authorized dealers.
Pairs or Single: they are listed as pairs, and they are made right / left.

MIDENGINE3SGTE: could you slap up a picture of the rear side diffusers and how they interface with the heat sheilds if you have them? Also, any problems with the rear window screens? I am thinking of ordering them. Thanks.

Mastergrade posted some prices on the carbon fiber pieces they offer for the Z. I emailed them a week ago, no responce, but they did just post these prices:

Carbon Fiber Inner Mirror Package $375
Carbon Fiber Side Mirror Cover $250
Carbon Fiber Roof Top Cover $600
Carbon Fiber Side Pillars $450
Pictures below - these guys are not cheap by any means. Nice in the pictures, hate to lay out that cash and find it is crap.

Got this email from Jennifer at Mastergrade:
Hi Patrick! Merry Christmas to you too! Thank you for inquiring about our products. Well, the 350z CF roof top is an overlay as well as the side mirror covers. Everything else is a replacement. I've attached a price list for you to look at. Please let me know if there's anything else I could help you with. You may contact us at 562-961-9061 Monday thru Friday from 9am-6pm PST. Thank you and Happy New Years!


BTW, she failed to attach the price list, so I emailed her back.

I've been looking for the mirror covers at a reasonable price.......I just can't bring myself to pay $625 for those two small pieces and the mirror covers don't even cover the whole back of the mirror to prevent rock chips........

Maybe I'm the only one, but I actually like the rivets on the heat shields. I wouldn't want them on a body kit or anything excessive like that, but I think it looks good on your heat shields. Just my opinion. If anyone has a set to sell, let me know!!

I too, balk at paying the prices that Mastergrade wants, although they currently make the best replacement for where the mirror mounts and the A pillars. The A pillars and the roof overlay are currently listed on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
the roof overlay, buy it now $50 less than webpage price,
and
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
the A pillars, same price as web page for buy it now.

I am glad I am not the only one who likes the rivets, the longer I look at them (over time), the more I am glad I decided to go rivet. A test fit with double sided tape was very disapointing to me, they really did look "tacked on", as in tacky. The rivets make them seem to be purposeful, added for a specific purpose. On a show car or one of these "garage queen" low mile Z's that never see winter or any day on the road but Sunday, they would be wrong, but my Z is a real "road warrior" not a show car, and I think they look right. Thanks again for your input.
