Bullitt will be taking home a pretty much stock 370Z and then we will be sending him a

CF hood
CF roof
CF hatch
CF rear bumper valance
CF b pillars
CF front bumper lisence plate back and we think that is it unless im missing something.

But chances are we will get those last 3 things done in time but we will see.

As of product availablity. All of it is ready to order accept the hood n hatch. There will just be a short wait time for the resins.
Well since we know about availability, what about prices? I'm interested in specs as well for the performance oriented pieces (hood and hatch). How much lighter are they than their aluminum counterparts. I'm sure I'll have to add several pounds for primer/paint. Which brings me to my next question, what are the painting procedures for a piece like this? Anything special or can we basically key the epoxy, prime and paint?

Thanks.
