Default Trust Worthy Carbon Fiber

Hi guys. I am new to the site and just recently got my 370z. There is one problem tho, the previous owner liked to hop curves or something.. cause there is alot of scratches under the front lip. And there are two ugly *** white holes in the front of my upper lip bar. So I was wondering if this site "TheZStore" is trustworthy enough to buy carbon fiber from. Cause I bought a FairladyZ emblem from them but idk about body parts.

I was going for a black out front, kinda like the GTR. A fellow member on the site has the bottom lip. I was wonder what you guys think about fully doing the whole front in carbon fiber



Thinking about getting two things...


The Bottom Lip

I've dealt with them before and have seen those two pieces in person... they are a solid vendor and their products are very nice.

Is it me or is the two pieces different fibers? it looks like they are differently spun. Maybe it's the light... idk but I want to make sure the two pieces matching color before I buy them.

They looked the same to me when I saw them.

Keep in mind that the quality is pretty good, but if you're a detail freak you might get annoyed as I saw an area or two where the weave stretched a bit (in some areas around the fangs), but it's not really noticeable unless you're looking at it way up close like I was.

some of those fangs require cutting and will damage the bumper when installed so make sure you're committed.

the top one is just a 3M tape so you can revert to stock no prob...given that the black paint (not sure if painted) dont pull off with it.

Is there something we can work out for both parts? like a combo pack? Hit me up in the PM if you want.

Both pieces are made from the same vendor. A local freind of mine.
And there is no cutting or drilling needed for the install.

I've just installed both pieces and it looks fantastic!

They are not a perfect fit but an observer won't be able to tell. Only you can upon very close inspection.
