These are not release yet but we'll be getting them soon!

Julian, I'll definately send you one when we get them.

Price will be very reasonable consider these are Dry-carbon item (Autoclaved: baked in an autoclave oven). Unlike Wet-carbon this doesn't have any Fiberglass re-enforcement, so they weight next to nothing and are as strong as wet-carbon if not stronger.

correct me if Im wrong but

dry cf-cast in a bag and excess resin is vacummed out of the part to make it ultra light, very expensive to do.

wet cf- no vaccumed.

fiberglass backed would be a cf overlay I guess, but I dont think thats the definition of wet...

but I could be totally wrong.

PS. looks good either way.

This is done with metal casting, then with hot press. Most expensive part is to make the molding for this piece. Suppose when it just came out of the machine surface is not shinny at all. We want to make it look nicer, so we gel coat the finish surface. When you get a hand on this item, you'll know for sure it is done by hot press dry carbon. I'll post pics of it's rear finish. You'll see no fiberglass at all. Carbon fiber only...

Look ok concidering that the indentations are not in the "Z". Looks to aftermarket for my taste. If your going to make a part look like the OEM part, try to keep it as original as possible.

is that spot where the z is for people to take the z off the other piece or for this to be put on top of the plastic piece?

in that case, does it stick?

EXACTLY, thanks!

This piece will be a stick-on piece over the original cover (silver), no modification require and you can return to the OEM look anytime.

We cann't really talk about price on my350z.com since we are not a sponsor anymore, email me ( Andy@Evo-R.net ) if you would like to find out, thank you! (We'll become a sponsor once again when we get these parts in)
