You have done a spectacular job with your Z!

axmea? · 09-01-2015, 12:01 AM

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

How rough is the surface inside Raf? I've wanted something like this for a while but I held back because I was afraid the coarseness of inner material would leave scratch marks on my mirrors when I take them off.

Here is the back side. No rough/sharp finish on the back side at all. If you are concerned you can put a layer or two of VHB strips on the back side of the mirrors as a protective layer. Fujimura provided generous amounts of tape.

Fujimura FTW!!! There products outstanding in every way. Your ride just keeps on getting better. May be heading your way in the next couple of brother and I can buy you that beer I owe ya!!!!!

I guess they were having a bad day when they made my Mine's CF spoiler

Those gaps on the mirrors would drive me nuts btw...

I expect more from Fuji

BeemaaZ · 09-02-2015, 09:56 PM

Nice Mods Raf!
You almost gave me a heart attack first I thought you got a Fuji bumper!

I recommend Fuji. Been a fan. It is a clean finish. Also depends on the tape used so as with any mod, good install is a must.

Good thing you're ok otherwise you'll have to resuscitate yourself

Someday I will have a JDM bumper

One Bogey. He heard me coming from his right and thought I was done. I waved at him and he acknowledged.
