Do you know if this will fit with the Crawford cast plenum installed?

Just looked at the pic, I suspect not. Need a "half" size engine cover to support aftermarket plenums (and spacers).

I have not seen the carbon fiber battery and JDM battery covers for the G35 yet. I agree that would be hot....

also this cover WILL fit the Z, but will not fit under the strut bar. you may be able to shim your strut bar up higher? but i am not sure if that would work.
HKS Kansai in Japan use a similar cover on some of their project Zs, and the strut bar fits, but the only difference is that those have a indentation for the strut bar.
if you have an aftermarket strut bar it may fit?

Any chance you will make one for our cars with the plenum installed? I'd definitely would consider picking one of those up.

I have the Nissan 350Z CF engine cover. I bought it without realizing that it won't fit over crawford plenum. So, I just put it in my bedroom now. Does anyone here want to buy it? It's still Brand New.

Not sure if you are referring to the JDM battery covers as the photos below, I saw it on UT's Website and Forum and picked up a set for myself during the GroupBuy they had.

Are those stick on covers, or actual lids made of CF?

That's my same question. I think a lot of UT's stuff is real though.

They are overlays made with real carbon fiber. I was told by a friend of mine who does a lot of CF parts for motorcycles that its almost impossible or very difficult to make the whole cover in carbon fiber because of the curves and clips, and also if its doable, the cost will be extremely expensive due to the amount of work thats involved. Hope this information helps.

Also all their CF stuff can be found here;
