Yup, it was only offered in 97. It actually was used on the sc300's also. Great color, very expensive, and it looked sick at night. It went from blue to purple.

Should I share some pics?

if we cant get the 25 people i may just go with the ones on 350zsouce those look real good...
Don't forget there is a shortage of CF out there thus far making it more expensive. I just paid 65.00 for a roll of cloth that was 42"W & 1yard in L
plus the resins needed.
Can be$$$ at times

most of the time you can only find it on ebay
compostie factorys are not producing fast enough to keep up with the demand.

Some questions:

Do these replace or stick on the stock door sills?

Are these 1x1 or 2x2 weave?

Are they smooth, ie, no Z logo or the three notches?




By the way, EVO-R on thier website says they are on "version 2" and the fitment is better than the previous version. They also have a picture showing flexibility, and say you should use the stock door sill Z emblem on them. Theirs are full replacement. Perhaps those with poor fitment had the first version?

^+1...My past experience with carbons sills is the manufacturer used too thin of material. There was no consideration in the thickness of the stock door sills so it didn't fit as clean as the OEM sills. It would be good idea to use a layer of fiberglass under the carbon to give it the OEM thickness and prevent it from warping/twisting. Another issue with aftermarket carbon door sills is that 3M is needed to apply these sills as the OEM utilize built in clips. The problem with this is that the 3M tape causes the door sills to stick up and out ...

Couldn't we transfer the silver plate from the stock sills so we could still use the illuminated sill covers?
