If you want Carbon Fiber Vinyl.. Why not go for the 3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl and do some DIY? However, with the size of the fang, you'd probably need 48"x48" (or 60"x48" to be safe, I didnt measure it, just estimate off my head), and it'll cost you $100-130

Have someone experience with Vinyl overlay on the front fangs?
I'd would be nice to see some pictures with a 370z..

Do you see a different between painted and taped (vinyl overlay) front fangs?
I prefer to put a vinyl overlay over the front fangs because it protect the original car paint and it's easy cancel it.

yah, check out the DIY section where tongman did his CF overlay fangs and rear diffuser from a plan 3M CF roll. tongman mentioned the fang was a PITA to cut and do, so if you're not handy with cutting and trimming get the bat's kit!

If you decide to paint, which is what I did, make sure you get the right tape. Regular masking tape won't get you the clean, professional lines you'll want. Taking the time to prep and tape will make all the difference in the end. People ask me if I had mine done at a shop. I just tell them I took my time with the taping. Good luck with whatever you decide!

with the available 3M Di Noc films i would definitely wrap it. works as a bra and replacable as needed when worn.

with paint you have to touch it up or re-sand/paint and it will take a lot more work.

i have to say though, that the duplicolor engine enamel matte-black i used on my dd's fog lamp surrounds have held up VERY WELL to chips and weather (including salt). if i had no choice but to paint it, i would use that paint for sure.
