I really want some cf for the b pillars on the z, got some on my wrx in between the windows and have always liked the look. But will cf fabric they use hold up to the weather? I wouldn't think so. The kind I have on my wrx has a thick clear coat, maybe a polyurethane?

Carbon fiber is your friend.

Looks great...my dad was big into CF. I need to get back into it...

I had a ton of CF work done in my Celi and I will probably do some (totally unnecessary) interior work. But hey I like the look. Might go with a CF hood.

Ive been working/convicing STATUS ELITE to make DRY CARBON PARTS for the Z34.

ENGINE COVER, RADIATOR SHROUD, B PILLARS and maybe ROOF CAP. they have a minimun order so let me know who wants in

here are some of the great quality DRY CARBON PARTS THAT they made.

Im going to start a thread to see if we can get a group buy/pre order on these

Is this not the definition of rice?

I actually just bought some of that material that is shown in the bimmer from E-90. It looks really good compared to all others that I have seen. It is really easy to work with.

I think if it is done right and in a minimalistic fashion, it isn't too bad. In reality you aren't going to see much of a weight savings by making real carbon bits compared to just wrapping them and at a much cheaper cost.

If one is really really worried about weight savings, chances are they are going to just rip all the stuff out rather than get the piece in CF.

zele has these parts already, don't they?

My guess would be that zele's parts are real.
