First state what parts you are looking for. Depending on a particular part you can get suggestions based on fitment experience from members. The fact that company As hood does not fit well does not mean their rear bumber will not fit either

As with some other comments,what item are you looking for?
Most CF body parts that are affordable have FG for the form with CF laminated
over.I've found Shine parts to fit well.Varis has been mentioned.I agree,super high
price,great quality.I'd think Varis for 350's may have to be special ordered.
You did not mention an important part of CF components,FINISH.As far as this
goes,AIT is awful.
Again,what are you looking for?

Check Shine.
They may not be the style you want.
However,they make their parts in CA. to order.
Finish is very good as well as the fit.

another wonderful pm from the OP.

why not call a few vendors...bulletproofautomotive can sell you some nice cf parts if money is truly not an issue

youll be gone from the forum in a few months time anyways. youll come in and get the answers you want but are too lazy to search for and then disappear. you wont even be around to post results or help the next noob looking for cf parts.

I chose my Seibon hatch over the others purely based on this statement:

We have a 6-month limited clear coat warranty, and we guarantee fitment for all US-modeled vehicles, unless we specifically indicate otherwise.
As far as I know, none of the others make this claim and if my hatch didn't fit I would have complained until my teeth bled. That being said, I was very happy with my purchase as far as fit and finish was concerned.

This forum is for questions and real answers and that is not laziness, that's asking question. Positive comments are good, but negative comments are not needed. Questions of types, any problems with fitness is good questions, helps to make decisions. If price not an issue, that's is good to know. I see not a thing wrong with that, as does my people I buy from and work on my car. Seibon CF is not bad, as I have the hood (for my engine build needs) and spoiler. I believe there are better out there though, keep asking and checking, that's one reason this forum is here. JCity made some put some good information on his post by the way. Here's a website you may check out: http://intensepower.com/350z.html also, has good information. It has carbon fiber products.
