This shot taken before the Avant Garde wheels arrived. New tires but no AG560. Had to wait another week.

Come on now Raf...I would be jealous if I was not leaving for NC this afternoon. We need to do a cruise this summer! Love the country side and wine tasting to boot...

You have done a spectacular job with your Z!

Been looking around for a CF cover. Passed on EVO-R after seeing one. The gap was atrocious. May have been a one off defect but it was enough to turn me away. Shopped around for Zele, Fujimura, and the Nismo covers and ended up deciding on the Fujimura. Already had the Fuji diffuser so it made sense for me to go with them again.

Fit -- 10/10
Corners landed properly on the mirrors. No gaps and covered the painted portion with a generous amount of CF to overlap the black trim. Flat edges run parallel to the mirror.

Finish -- 10/10
This is what I appreciate about the guys at Fujimura. The mat was laid out symmetrically on both mirrors without any ripples or staggering. Left side angled to the left while the right side angled to the right. The edges were cut with precision. No unnecessary roughness so to speak. Just a clean, straight, seemingly machine-cut finish.

What do I not like? Wish they made a full cover instead of a partial one.

Judge for yourself.

What I don't like: Full coverage would have been better. It is what it is.

Those blue mirrors
