    Default Carbon Fiber 370z

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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 :/

    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.

    Car looks awesome man. I'd personally finish the whole thing in carbon fiber. It'll get enough attention as it is.

    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

    Seems like if you were planning to do that much CF, you would get a black car. Car looks great because it's obviously a very well built car, but if i had a choice i wouldnt want the color mismatch.

    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.
