Carbon Fiber Roof Help

USAF-Z · 02-22-2010, 12:18 PM

Dear Nicholas

"Hello again. about Carbon roof, would you kindly give as your feeling and how much you would recommend?

We might change our prices on few carbon parts in near future including the roof. We don’t know yet and we don’t know how much we can go down, but would you please let us know how much is reasonable price?

Please note – this carbon roof is not just a cover. You have to chop your roof off and attach it with your own trust factory.

Thank you"

i need some opinions

i was going to get a CF roof cap but this is just better for my plans for the Z.

phelan · 02-22-2010, 12:58 PM

wait, what? a company's asking you how much they should market their roof replacement for?

...i've got a bad feeling about this...

then again, i'm not on the market for a carbon fiber roof replacement, so someone else can have their say.

that letter reads like spam to me? i wouldnt put my dollar on that one.......

USAF-Z · 02-22-2010, 01:01 PM

its from Hiro Yoshimoto from ZELE Performance Co

phelan · 02-22-2010, 01:03 PM

...okay, now i'm amused, how/why is a Zele representative contacting you for pricing their components?

USAF-Z · 02-22-2010, 01:05 PM

this was their first email

Dear Nicholas

Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes we do have R35 Carbon Fiber Roof. You will have to have somebody who can adhere it on the roof.

It is 720,000JPY excluding shipping.

Please feel confident and let me know for any more information.

that comes out to 7,827.12 USD which is fukin ridiculous

Is it a direct replacement, or just an overlay?

phelan · 02-22-2010, 01:07 PM

it's Zele...how did you not see this coming? their 370Z body kit is amazing, but holy #^!@ expensive.

i don't get it though, the first e-mail you're talking about is for an R35 CF roof, then you went to a Z...?!

it is a direct replacement. i plan to have a CF: hood, A-pillar, roof, trunk, and spoiler

i saw that ZELE had a CF roof on

but it wasnt on their website to be sold. so i contacted them

FuszNissan · 02-22-2010, 01:09 PM

At that point I would just make a targa 370Z!

FuszNissan · 02-22-2010, 01:10 PM

Just paint your roof, and save the money.

theDreamer · 02-22-2010, 01:10 PM

That does not look like carbon fiber on the Z in that picture (the roof).

USAF-Z · 02-22-2010, 01:10 PM

if hes asking me then i have to give a num back. i was thinking along the lines of 3k.... sound resionable . im willing to go up to 4.

phelan · 02-22-2010, 01:10 PM

that's not CF, unless it's a new development, the Zele 370Z does not have a direct CF roof replacement.

R35 != Z34, my guess is someone got confused midway through that e-mail.
