Default Where to get C.F. rear strut bar covers?

At SEMA I noticed a few cars with Carbon Fiber rear strut bar covers. They looked nice and didn't seem to scratch as easily as the stock ones. Does anybody know who sells them.... Looks like I need to be a distributor. Thanks, Jeff

bulletproofautmotive.com

it's called the central 20 barker bar

another option is to get Suite E GraphX to paint it with their carbon fiber pattern, very nice stuff.

and lastly, ask Suite E GraphX to make an overlay. Should be easy for them to make.

I'm working on doing this myself. I'm too busy to get much done right now, but I should have it done with in a few weeks. I'll post pictures.

its hard to tell....but is that real carbon fiber, or is it "carbon fiber look" stuff?
looking at the web site, it's also hard to tell. the red and blue looks real.
and wonder if silver carbon fiber is an option, or will be an option for the interior peices.
anyone know?

im working on this part but it might take about a month before the first pieces are ready. it will be 100% real carbon fiber and will replace the stock piece, not cover it. projected cost is $75. i have purchased the piece from nissan but i need to finish some other projects first.

he above picture is "carbon look" vinyl or similar, it is not real.

Looks like we will be a distributor for SuiteEgrafX and their carbon fiber products. Should have them in stock by next week and sell a bit cheaper than their web-site prices as well.

www.bulletproofautomotive.com. they sell all the central 20 carbon fiber pieces, strut cover, door sills, b-pillars. they are all straight from japan special order though, takes a little longer to get and they're a little pricy

jeff,
i am very interested to see your price guide. i purchased a set of their carbon fiber emblem fillers and they are simply beautiful. no offense to reen, but i have seen the two side by side and SuiteEgrafX's product is much better in my and my friend's opinion. he regrets not buying SuiteEgrafX's now.

i was thinking of buying the door handles from them, but i will wait to see your price first. can you post on this forum when you have that list up?

jenny said that my splash guards (and i assume my cargo net)went out today so i am eagerly awaiting them.

take care,

Gary

oh, will you guys have that core charge on the other parts like SuiteEgrafX does?

Thanks for the interest. We will start adding the stuff to our web-site today and hope to have it done by mid next week. For now you can check out their web-site at: http://www.elegantwooddesign.com/350zphoto.htm
We will be 10% off the prices on the page shown for now and see what we can do for the future. The core charge is a nessessary part of the game, but as a Nissan Dealer I will only charge cost so that should be about half of what their posting. They gave me a complete set to put in my car for display so we'll get pictures of that as well.
