Carbon Fiber Rear Strut Brace by CF Element
 

So we got our hands on a couple of these bars and decided to wrap em up!! Still in the works but they are close to done. I really haven't seen many after market options for these so the cf should be a nice touch to the interior of the Z. We're sure the fit will be fine but still looking for a z local to us in central jersey to test fit and get some installed pics. So anyone interested hit us up!! Thanks for looking.

ummmm **** yes???

I want one asap

Can't wait to see it installed! This looks sick. And yeah, since no one has stepped up to make anything better than the stock one, why the hell not!! :rofl2:

I like :tup:

Price will be figured out very very soon...but it'll be a core swap deal like I've been doing with the steering wheels. Cost plus exchange for the stock bar. Stay tuned!!

Wow! Wishin' I was in New Joi-sey right about now! In for installed pics and approx cost.

COOL!!!

Bring on the price:tiphat:

Send one over Tony! Love it!

Need to see it in

Subscribed for the price+pics

This is awesome. Thanks for stepping up and support the wants/needs of the community, I would definitely go for one as long as they are reasonably priced! It would go well with the other interior CF bits I have coming soon.

Absolutely. Lookin fwd to pricing...esp for red CF :yum::tup:

Why is carbon fiber so freakin' sexy?

It's like breasteses. I can't quite figure out why I like it so much, but I just do. :yum:

Agreed!

I'm just down the road, PM me details

Still at it with these...finished pics soon, installed pics hopefully shortly after. We will more than likely do another group buy deal with these parts and used these as core swaps to help you guys out, but once the price is set you can always send your stock part in to speed up the process instead of waiting...Stay tuned. ;)

you need to contact Tony (2theextreme) ive been suggesting he get this done from youg uys for a while now.

Hey your sick get back in bed.:p

Bars are done, just need to be sprayed with clear. Installed pics will be up on Wednesday. We have someone coming by the shop to install and take a bunch of pics.
Group Buy pricing will be up tonight and we can get a list going and start taking deposits.
Stay tuned...

I'm in for price and GB if you could PM a ball park to me I will do a deposit as well.

:iagree:

So, how do you think the CF will hold up with the intense (at times) sun and heat coming thru the back window?

It'll hold up just fine, you will not need to worry about the carbon fiber having any issues there. High quality clear coat will stand up to lots of heat without yellowing or fading.

Oh hell yes. :stirthepot:


For the installation of one of these, is it something we can do, or is a shop mandatory???

Ooh, again..in for installed pics! :excited:

As far as heat being a problem. I've done a bunch of rear struts in the 350 and also engine covers and center consoles. Even a roof. Sun doesn't have much affect on it. I clearcoat aall of our parts with good quality clear, so not a problem. We also plan to do a nice DIY this week while we install the bar to take pics...first thing in the morning GB pricing will be up, I promise!! Good Night all.

Sweet, looking forward to pricing/DIY. :tiphat:

Saweeet!

You guys rock! :tup:

Please copy and paste entire list

So it is 900 with the core charge? Or 600 total im a little confused sorry.

Our cars are safe to remove these and drive around w/o them correct? (Provided you don't get into an accident obviously :p )

So if I just take mine out and ship it to you, I don't need to pay a core charge correct??

Its 600 plus the refunded core charge of 300. The core charge is just so we don't get screwed and someone doesn't return the bar. To cover our @ss basically. And your stock bar can be sent to save time instead of waiting. And also, if you don't want to pay the core charge, yes. As far as driving without the bar I'm not sure. I'd say look into that beforehand to be safe.

I'd say you'll be fine. Google real quick and you'll see guys have removed them without any problems. Its really just a handling/performance upgrade IMO. Of course better handling and feel with it but a week or so without it i think you'll be fine. Just my 2 cents so don't hold me to it.

List......

Fixed* :tup:

So after a quick test fit, fits as good as stock. All panels fit perfect and no problems. The install is kind of a pain since half of the trunk needs to be removed along with the panels by the seat belt. But all in all its not too bad. We've had plenty of experience taking interiors apart so anyone whose done the swme should have no problem doing this swap. Could be a bit of a job tho for someone a little less experienced. Here's one quick teaser pic, stay tuned. But as far as the GB goes, lets get it going. We're finishing up this first pair of bars we have and looking to get this list going so we can start taking deposits.

Give me until October, I'll grab one of these and a steering wheel, both in dry carbon..

Great products!:tup:

Man that looks soooo sick. Might have to wait on some other things and go ahead and knock this out first lol. Excellent job guys. :tup:

Is anyone, or are you guys going to make up a DIY of the removal/installation? I know how to get the rear panels out and such, but for all the ones surrounding that piece I'm not 100% sure. The real bitch is gonna be taking out my sub box... again. :rofl2: :shakes head:

Do you have a picture of what blue kevlar carbon fiber will look like?
