09 10 Nissan 370z Oem Carbon Fiber Bumper:eBay Motors (item 320466731096 end time Jan-23-10 13:42:20 PST)

Interesting - looks pretty good, but not sure if I would have molded in the lower front spoiler - will probably scrape that easily. Not personally interested, but has anyone made a purchase?

Thats cheap! I would stay away.

RCZ · 12-25-2009, 06:35 PM

$1000 shipped is cheap? Nah thats not THAT cheap.

Kidcane · 12-25-2009, 06:38 PM

For quality carbon, an entire front should be more.

chuckd05 · 12-25-2009, 10:10 PM

the added on spoiler portion would get killed in my driveway especially on a lowered car

spearfish25 · 12-25-2009, 10:28 PM

That front lip would be dog meat in about a week.

Silver mesh grille?

The quality of the weave is Horrible by the way! I would steer clear...

It looks like a 2x2 weave, how can you tell...

bullitt5897 · 12-26-2009, 12:15 PM

expand the image larger and you will see the lines and all the imperfections in the weave. This product definitely looks either rushed or prototyped. I am judging this by the lack of care to ensure that the weave and multiple pieces of Carbon Fiber line up correctly.

Other than the price.. If the indentation for the logo was not included.. might possibly be a good buy.

Wow the 370z has so much aftermarket support. My Celica took years before aftermarket headlights were invented. This is a complete CF bumper geez. I had CF fenders and it was a pain to drive around. Imagine scraping or hitting something with this thing. Harder to repair than urethane and fiberglass. Yikes. Probably okay if you don't care and go to the track but for 1 grand better off using it for something else.

How can they call this an OEM bumper

kenchan · 12-28-2009, 01:39 PM

dont you hate when companies name their company OEM? you do a search and it turns up all sorts of pos parts by "OEM."

hahaha.

NYBladeZ · 12-29-2009, 04:04 PM

went to look at the piece first hand...the chin spoiler is a separate piece and I personally think it looks great. It's one piece of cf not a bunch put together, thank God
