And I mean even the 05+ 350z owners that doesn't have the wear and tear issue.

Yes, the imitation rubber coated pieces like the arm rest that houses the switches gets very gummy/tacky/sticky, like it reacts to the humidity or something. The slightest thing will then remove the finish............ poor design, nice in concept and feel when new .....poor durability.

My '05 has a couple of little marks/scratches on the driver side arm rest but that's about it. Hope mine doesn't get as bad as some of the pictures I've seen

most dealers are saying that its normal wear & tear... so i'm pretty sure they won't replace them under warranty.

This is ridiculous. You shouldn't be forced to pay extra for replacement CF pieces to cover up Nissan's horrible R&D. I'd give my dealer hell about it and threaten to go to NNA.

The interior of my 2003 Track is flawless, btw.

Thanks a lot for posting the link.

The description for this part is [80961] FINISHER-POWER WINDOW SWITCH,FRONT LH - 350Z (Z33) 2006-2007 Most Models [Gray]

My only concern is that the color is listed as gray and my interior color is black.
