HELP in choosing....
 
Hey guys I am looking to make the front fangs and rear valence into CF look. I was planning to give a go on:
EVO-R INC. Nissan 370Z Z34 Carbon Fiber Center Bumper Fang Cover
and
EVO-R INC. Nissan 370Z Z34 Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser

But then I heard about the CF vinyl which can almost make any shape of CF look you want on your car. My question is: what are their pros and cons? Please be specific since I am pretty new in this area. Like their quality, price, life span, etc? Thank you!

wats up man and welcome to the forum :D the pros of having your front fangs and rear valence wrapped in cf vinyl is that its cheaper than actually buying the cf pieces from evo-r... the cons of that is.. well vinyl has a life span... over here on guam carbon wrap vinyls lasts about a year then it starts turning funky looking.... its freaking hot here thats why... sun rain sun rain sun rain effect..... idk about how long it lasts where u stay but all i know is that it will not last forever... another thing about just wrapping is that you WONT have the finned look like the evo-r... i think it looks really sweet how their diffuser looks... now if you go with the evo-r front and rear carbon fiber pieces... :tup: they will last forever you dont have to worry about it peeling off or shrinking... because vinyl does shrink over time... fitment from experience is great and quality is awesome :D the only con to the evo-r pieces is more money.... im guessing its going to cost you around $650 for both those pieces including the shipping... and then you have to pay some one to install them for u... or you can save money and install it yourself....

i would recommend one or the other:

1) get the real CF one if you have the cash.

2) just mask and paint matte black (or graphite) if you dont have the cash.

Dang that rear diffuser is sweet! I just hate having to put screws through my bumper...is that really necessary?
