"Curious Models" Carbon Interior

370Ztune · 06-23-2010, 05:44 PM

Curious Models is a company in Japan that specializes in interior and exterior carbon add-ons. Most of their line up is for cars not offered here in the US, but the ones that caught my eye are these for the 370z and also some for the G37.

These are designed off of the Japan Spec vehicles, so some parts may need slight modifying or may not fit at all (like the switch plates). The majority of the parts seem to be interchangeable though.

[Curious Models will also make pieces specifically for the US model, but we must provide them with the cores. Just an option is anyone is adamant about getting a piece done]

The costs seem pretty good so I figured I'd bring them to everyones attention. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

209Z · 06-23-2010, 06:25 PM

well if they need cores from a US model..cough cough? =]

i think evo-r has something similar for the 350z's but haven't seen one for the 370z's yet.

id like to have a pair of those door trim pieces(4pc set) and the gauge covers.

maybe someone can make a CF trim for the HU surround piece?

I have the door switch panels already, but the handle pieces would def be pretty cool.

Huh, where did you get them from?

NewYorkJon34 · 06-23-2010, 08:19 PM

They were custom made awhile ago. I have pics in my Journal thread, but I could post them in here if you want. The only bad thing is on the passenger side panel, there are a couple of "dimples" in the clear coat, it's only noticable at an angle but it's kinda annoying.

looks good!

'10Anamoly · 07-13-2010, 12:45 PM

Are these covers for the originals or are they full replacement pieces?

kenchan · 07-13-2010, 01:01 PM

Newyorkjon- you need to wrap your styrofoam coin holder cup!

NewYorkJon34 · 07-13-2010, 01:09 PM

That's long gone, I don't use the coin cup anymore, lol

These carbon parts attach onto the existing pieces like a cover.

I wonder if the door sills are overlays also. For the price they seem like replacements.

I'd be interested in purchasing a complete set if they made the center radio surround and glovebox cover overlays also.
