Cool 350Z Front Lower Center Panel Finisher

Sold by Nissan for the 350Z Japanese Domestic Market. Plastic "carbon-fiber' look construction. Note, this is not carbon-fiber! Would be nice if it was though. What would be even cooler and would get me to buy one is if they color matched them to the different colors of the 350Z. I tried my best to see what it would look like using Photoshop. Let me know what you think. Enjoy.

Question Brickyard



This one was hard to get right and I didn't get it right. But it is close enough.

I think the original "carbon-fiber" puts a nice contrast to the front of the Z.

Exclamation Well

My point is having an option. That way people could get a color matched Carbon fiber (which would still add contrast, just not as much). I think more people with the more vibrant colors like my Le Mans Sunset would prefer something that blends a little more, but still has a nice contrast. Just my 2 cents.

I also thought the FAKE Carbom Fiber was lame. I would really like a color matched piece in every thing you plane to make. To me that would look much better.

IPT-

Sweet. I'd personally be interested in a real CF front lip or engine cover...

....better yet, can you do the rear bar in CF?

I'd be interested in the engine cover and lip/finisher thing. I didn't realize the Nissan piece was fake.. that's weak.

I think colors would be interesting, but I do see why people want black for the lip/finisher. It makes the grill/opening in the front bumper not look like such a gaping hole in the middle of a color. Gives it a bit more of a defined shape.

Doesn't matter to me, my car is black.

Thumbs up Agree!

The Super Black, Chrome Silver, Silverstone and Pikes Peak White would really have no reason to color match except for the shading. I for one would love to add engine covers and other pieces, but would want all of them color match.

IPT - I'd be interested for sure. I was thinking of buying the one from Courtesy - it looks good but I am disappointed it's plastic. Real CF in standard black would do it for me. I'm about to install clear markers and GrilleTech grille. When do you think you might have a lip available ?

I would say the lip could be devolped in the next 30 to 45 days

the engine cover will be released in about 2 weeks

Wait to you see what it looks like : )
