Carbon Fiber 370z

[Billet370]

Hey Guys,

Recently a few AWESOME photographers snapped a few shots of my car from IMPORTATLANTA.com so I figured Id re-introduce my self since I havent been on in a while. I have a 2009 Nissan 370z that Im currently finishing up on converting the exterior to Carbon Fiber. The Interior is done, the exterior is almost complete. After that either a GTM Super Charger or GTM Twin Turbo. Not sure but will have the winter to think it over.

I just wanted to say thanks to whoever snaps the photos with the IMPORTATLANTA logo on the bottom. Love the pics and that camera must be nice.

Gaaahd, so much carbon. I'd be scared to drive it , but damn it looks nice

[Franco Tirador]

liposuction. It's dope, i know it's not cheap but seems like money is no obstacle to you, keep it up

[Drummerboy]

Reminds me of the pink integra that did the same thing. Awesome parts, individually, but when they're all together with some oem metal parts, it looks...funny. If you got cf doors, and figured a way to wrap or reskin the quarter panels, it'd be amazing.

I took these pics, NICE CAR MAN!

I ninja'd the first shot when we went on a gas station run at commerce (nopi), your car was parked there and I just had to grab a pic the way the sun was hitting the CF. The rest are of course from Z nats.

Curious what's done under the hood?

[Sil'vr-Boi6]

Stunner, what rims are those? they look great. I contemplated about buying RE30's for my z32, but RE30s where so meant for 350 and 370Zs. You must pull mad..., and will pull more mad ....when you install those GTM kits.

Clean Z sir.

Paint that shit!

[Billet370]

Thanks for all the comments guys.. Well I was going to go ALL CARBON FIBER, but decided to finish the Hatch and leave the doors and quarter to make it pop out. The roof is even wrapped in real carbon fiber. So the doors and quarter panels arent an issue but if i went full carbon fiber I feel that many may not notice it and the red allows it to pop.

Currently the engine the next on my list of mods. I have carbon fiber parts in the engine bay "engine cover, battery cover and brake cover. Thinking of going twin turbo and powder-coating the pipping the same color as the wheels.

The wheels are WORK Gnoesis GS4 Bronze with the Anodized Bronze lip and Black face.

And one more thing, I dont really like talking about money on the forums but lets just say its all about budgeting correctly. I have a job thus I have money to modify Also I own a carbon fiber shop in new jersey called carbonfiberelement.com and we specialize on the interior parts.

Hopefully that answers all the questions and thanks again guys for the comments.... AND IM NOT PAINTING THAT "SHIT" Carbon Fiber is a beaut and hiding its beauty is not something I want to do. thats why the interior isnt painted :/

Car looks good, Moses.

As long as it makes YOU happy that's what matters.

I think it makes me TOO HAPPY I enjoy the hell out of it and modifying all my cars. I have a motorcycle that has all carbon fiber fairings as well.

[E36slide]

I like the whole idea of it. My personal opinion would be to paint it Daytona royal blue pearl (another z color) the red just sticks out to much. Again just my opinion.

Looks clean as hell either way man.

Successful thread derailment.....get over yourselves.

Dude that was my first time eating there... IT RoCKS and thanks for the compliment. I drove it to work yesterday because I needed to take it someplace afterwards.

Also Everything on the car is REAL CARBON FIBER no vinyl or etc. The whole outside that nots red is carbon fiber. The roof is carbon fiber but the metal surface is below it. We actually wrapped the roof with real carbon fiber, resin more resin lots of sanding clear coat sanding and buffing Its a lot of hard work regardless of peoples opinion on whether carbon fiber should be 100 carbon fiber. The car would fly off the ground. Second carbon fiber is a comestic in todays market place. Thats why people are getting carbon fiber phone cases, pens, covers, bike parts, car parts... it looks damn sexy. ALSO even FERRARI steering wheels are like mine where the carbon fiber is wrapped around the metal wheel.. So a ferrari isnt ALL CARBON FIBER either

The car would not fly off the ground... Carbon fiber is not cosmetic.. Carbon Fauxber however is. Why else would so many OEM companies be going to outside CF shops(real ones not crap like VIS or Seibon) for their own products?

Anyways, besides all that the car looks great. You just can't call steel and plastic wrapped in a single layer of carbon, "Carbon Fiber". I guess that misconception just erks me because it's like putting racing numbers on your door in vinyl.

The car gained weight from all carbon added but nothing that actually replaced a component.

Actually I can say carbon fiber is cosmetic considering I am the co-founder of carbonfiberelement.com and that's what our business specializes in You know more about my business than I do it appears so please educate me further. There is a market out there for INTERIOR PARTS. HOWEVER, I did clearly mention to you that the EXTERIOR PARTS ON MY CAR "beside the ROOF" are REPLACEMENT carbon fiber parts . The interior, such as door switches, console, steering wheels and panels had the padding and cloth material removed and a layer of cf so the weight difference is basically equal. The exterior is LIGHTER since the parts are LIGHTER due to being REPLACEMENT parts. Considering the 370z is mainly made of aluminum exterior parts, i would consider the fact that me shaving a bit of weight exterior wise is an accomplishment do to the already light component parts. And i was being a tad bit sarcastic in regards to flying off the "ground" smh incase you thought i was being serious, I apologize.

Second fake vinyl carbon fiber is applied to new motorcycles from Yamaha and Suzuki do you know why... because its a cosmetic option to many. Why else would a manufacturer decide to apply such. Regardless of your opinion, its simply your opinion but there's a HUGE market for carbon fiber in terms of cosmetic options. 90% of Seibon parts sold are sold for cosmetic reasons. FYI

1)
You and I come from a different spectrum of the aftermarket industry. The carbon products we produce are 100% carbon. Not wrapped plastic molds or fiberglass. They are performance based in nature and we've done everything from real CF/Kevlar roofs, exterior panels, air induction N/A and F/I, Dragster bodies, interior dash and center consoles, etc etc. for people in ALMS, Grand-Am, NASA, and so on. We aren't going to agree as to the purpose of Carbon so no point in arguing about it from here on.

2)
The exterior parts on your car are plastic/fiberglass wrapped in a single layer are they not? Do you have an autoclave in house?


3)
90% of Seibon parts are sold to people that have no idea what they are doing. 100% of seibon parts are marketed to people that watch to much fast and the furious.

Regardless of any of this. The car looks great. There's no denying that.

[Billet370]

Again, lol Who said I didnt replace parts. You guys seem to have a difficult time reading posts because I did mention the whole exterior is replaced parts EXCEPT the roof but okay.... Picking on the guy with a carbon fiber dream its cool. Reminds me of highschool


why dont we all go pick on a sick 600-700 hp Porsche that the owner made into a wide-body... "Brah, thats stupid@! You made the car heavier by adding a widebody kit." Righhtttttttttttttttttttttt same metaphor that's being used in my thread. I love it.

[Aeroscout977]

Looks good. How much of it is real carbon fiber though.

[Greddypacked]

Nice... I will like it more when it's complete. I know how it is though, costly and takes time lol.
