Happy to see someone keeping the CF and red Z combo alive. The hatch can be replaced with a CF part its the rear quarter that will be the issue. You can't simply vinyl it because most vinyl is matte whereas the rest of the parts are gloss. Vinyl also lacks the depth and "3D effect" of real CF. Its a pretty tight seam with the rear bumper but a cap seems to be the best way to go, something similar to the roof cap.
The real question is always weight savings. I grudgingly admit after doing this myself, you don't save a whole lot. You'll save mostly on the hatch, a little on the doors and fenders (less than 5lbs. each door/fender) but the bumpers and skirts are plastic. If you love the look then this look is for you.
Mind you, it is still a noticeable weight difference, best bang for the buck weight reducing mod is a braille battery.
