Default Carbon Fiber Pod Guage Covers

Don't know if this has already been posted or not, but saw them at a japanese website...i don't even know if its real carbon fiber. Look alright though...i'd just get the bottom ones not the top, gives a cool reflection.

Click on the link - click on Z33 and then look at the bottom center and bottom right pictures. Click on them for more pictures.

BTW - it's definitely carbon fiber, you can see some weave distortion on a couple of pictures and on one picture you'll see the refraction change of the epoxied carbon fiber.

Those would be great if I wanted the passenger to see the gauges.

Hopefully they make them for the LHD market as well.

Well, it actually doesn't matter. It isn't a whole new guage cluster. It is just 6 cups that you add to your lower and upper part of guages.

Screw the covers, I can't wait till somebody makes replacement gauges. The first one (computer) is pretty nice, but I don't really use the other two for much.

Very Cool! Looks sweet with the aftermarket gauges. I'd like to see someone make a CF gauge panel that fits in the NAV compartment. Angled toward the driver, and still allows you to shut the door.

I don't know how much they are. I did call Adam at Z-1 Performance and he can get them, but he didn't have the pricing. IF you are intreseted please email or give him a call. he is great at getting JDM stuff.
