Default Carbon Fiber 370z / Logistics

Ok, so I know different forum members have played with the idea but I think I might be ready to make the commitment to go for a full CF 370z.

I have given some serious thought to a 12 month plan to convert my entire exterior to exposed Carbon Fiber.

I want to know if this is fisable? What problems would I run into? In another thread someone mentioned there would be difficulty with the rear fenders.

My intention is to do the exterior in three phases, ordering and installing a phase every 3-4 months.

This will allow me to try to spread out the cost of the project and allow for production time of parts, and deal with any issues that might arise.

I plan to have Phase 1 completed by the end of the summer, and since my car will be parked next winter I can get a lot done over the 6 months that it will be parked.

Stage 1 - Front Bumper / Fenders / Hood

Stage 2 - Doors / Roof / A-B Pillars / Mirrors / Side Skirts

Stage 3 - Rear Fenders / Rear Bumper


Since my car is Black, hopefully it won't look too hard on the eyes in between phases.

My questions to start is, are there different types of Carbon Fiber other than a Wet and Dry looking? Would a Carbon Fiber part from one company match a carbon fiber part from another company or would they look different?


I am really interested on any feedback or concerns forum members might have?

My vision is to have a 370z version of this Carbon Fiber Aston Martin.
