Basically ya
We don't have a 370z demo car, otherwise I'd be a different story. We're not the manufacture, we're importers, so it's just about if you guys want them
I believe all pieces will fit except for maybe the gauge pod covers (since they're facing the opposite direction compared to JDM) and obviously the window switch covers.

Not sure about the safety margin; the cost is the same for us per piece. I don't feel it's wrong for a company to make money off the parts they took time to create though.

I haven't been able to find carbon interior pieces anywhere so it's difficult to comment on price unless there is a competitor the "Curious Models". These are definitely too cheap to be full replacements. It's rare to find a full aftermarket replacement because of the high cost to produce them. If sold in high volume, it could be made somewhat affordable but interior pieces aren't exactly a high volume item.

I agree with the flush look. I'd prefer not having a "stick on" piece, but the alternatives are expensive. The most realistic is a permanent overlay onto the OEM pieces. It turns out great, but requires the OEM piece to be sent out and has a few week downtime.
