I just got a 03 silver 350z, and I wanted to get carbon fiber parts for my z. I went to check out Mastergrades carbon fiber trunk, top, and pillars. They look awsome, but the price is pretty high 1000.00 for trunk, 450.00 for pillar, and 550.00 for roof top. I like the new trunk, any suggestion on other cheaper places.

 

That actually seems pretty cheap to me. Looks awesome too!

 

That looks beautiful. I think it will only look good on that color though.

 

I sell Seibon products, probably the best CF manufacture out there. We offer the hatch, hood, fenders, doors, hoods, spoilers, lips. They are about 1/2 the price of mastergrade.

Check out my thread here.... https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197202

 

How much weight savings does the hatch actually give?

 

Remember that Carbon fiber hoods, trunks and fenders will not help much in an accident. Also if you do those mods and tell your insurance company, they will either raise your rates or cancel you. On the other hand, if you do not report it and have an accident, then they can refuse your claim. It's the old catch 22. Good Luck!

 

Most of the weight savings comes if you switch to a lexan glass. You save 10lbs or so with just swapping the hatch and using your OEM glass.

 

1/2 my car is carbon fiber and I was rear ended and my insurance covered my carbon fiber spoiler and rear lip I had at the time, but im sure every insuance company is different

 

But do you have same parts as mastergrade?

 

I have the hatch for $625 shipped. It's made by Seibon. They dont offer the pillars or roof, but do have fenders, hoods, spoilers, and lips.

 

Mastergrade told me no one has this new hatch, it's there own design. It's the whole trunk with a spoiler. Check out mastergrade.net, if you have the same hatch for that price I'll take one right away.

 

oh wow, I didn't even notice the lip on the end of the hatch....thats sweet ! I only have the CF OEM hatch.

 

that hatch is soo sick with the lip

 

wow that hole setup is sweet. it flows togeather quite well.

 

wait a minute didn't mastergrade go out of business?

 

I went to their shop last weekend, there under new ownership. New ower name Boomer, the price quote was a hookup since I was buying all the products together. I just needed a second opinion.

 

Glad they are back in the market.

 

What wheels are those on that mastergrade widebody Z? I think I've seen the same ones on the BRS widebody Zs also.

 

WOW, that trunk is awsome, love that shape with the lip!!

DAMN...that is a really good looking hatch.

the g35 trunk doesn't look too bad either.
