I agree with Robs350Z, if done well, the carbon wrap looks good. To be honest i prefer it to the Apsis one. Yes the Apsis one has a great quality finish, but i personally think there is WAAAAYY too much gloss for the interior.
To me gloss looks cheap, almost like a painted dash, where as the wrap has a matte finish, which i personally think gives it a more quality look, even though it is cheaper.

from my perspective, its not a part to save weight or benefit aerodynamically, so who cares. if it were a race car or trying to cut weight, fine but its a street car. even a dry cf hood/trunk would barely make a difference, besides, wouldnt all bodykits that arent wind tunnel tested be considered rice then by your standards? not knocking you just trying to feel out where your coming from

Ummm doesn't Apsis just wrap your stock parts in the CF?

Hmmm from reading the comments on their website it looks like they purchase new stock pieces and do the lamenation? Maybe I'll check out their shop...isn't too far from me.

I think the flat CF wrap flows better with the dulness of the 350z dash, having the dash dule (stock)and then adding the clear coated cf looks weird. you have to look at the car like art,everything has to flow. I see to many people just throw random parts on there z and just looks a mess anyway end of my rant
