Stock hatch ones are too strong for cf.. Regular hood dampers are too strong for cf hoods. Get the lower psi ones with cf.

NRG makes some at 2/3psi for CF hoods. They are even listed on this site from some of the vendors. Hr Autosports i believe carries them. Not cheap, but they are nice pieces, easy to install and are car specific when it comes to the mounting hardware.

I figured you meant hatch because Z's don't have stock hood struts =/. Ebay sells them though! My friend actually bought a set for his CF hood...no problems for the past year on his G35.
