Also do not want it to look cheap after all the money I have spent. Is there such a thing as too much cf??? I love the way it looks....
no such thing as too much REAL cf!!!

I think there *is* such a thing as too much carbon fiber. CF has a real place in automobile construction--just ask Lamborghini! But pasting a CF piece over an already-functional part (like a door handle or B pillar) could make you look like a poser. Of course it's a matter of individual taste, but if you ask me, I'd say paint it--either body color or some other color that ties in with your car, like the brake calipers. (For the record, I have a gunmetal Z with blue calipers and I intend to paint the handles blue as well.)

I have to totally disagree but I guess I am partial to carbon since my car has quite a few pieces on it. I think anything you choose to do can be done tastefully. This is one reason these parts are so in abundance because so we all can make our own choices and accessorize our cars how we see fit. I mean we are the one's that have to like since we are paying the note each month. I say do what makes you happy and if thats driving around with your seats carbon fibered then happy sliding!!

Just my two cents!!

Mine is the CS diffuser, quality was great the wait was not. I don't think color matched would look good on mine though I seen some that look sick. I think with my scheme the color needs to be broken up a bit and the handle is a perfect area for that. That's the reason why I left it silver in the 1st place.
Thanks for all the input sofar guys. Keep it coming.

may i chime in haha



and a pic a bit further back





overall i got alota compliments while i had them on my car.... if you wanna paint em black and love cf this is the perfect mod bro.... fitment is dead on.... now the ONLY draw back.. is that it covers the key hole on the driverside.... jay evor told me this was due to the fact that they handles were molded after the jdm ones.... (the hole was on the passenger side) so his company deleted the hole on the passenger side because he is tryna sell it to the us market and thats why there is no holes for the key as a whole.... i would suggest using a dremel to poke the hole for the key and then you would be all set bro because if your battery accidently dies you will most likely have to destroy the driver side cover.... since its actually a super tight fit... and these things are thin.... (made that way so no rubbing issues)

Never even seen these before. I think they would look good on my white Z. I got the same rear diffuser as the Ages.

It's funny how this thread is blowing up over a part that came out over two years ago.
