Carbon Fiber 370Z B Pillar idea

Is that roof a ps?

Personally I think adding a carbon patter vinyl is the ultimate rice.

After that comes adding carbon covers that go over the pieces. This is extremely dumb.

Carbon is supposed to be LIGHT and purposeful. Not for aesthetics. It adds weight to your car when you add carbon on top of stock pieces. Whats the point. Somewhere Along the line people started thinking that carbon is cool. Now everyone wants it on their cars for all the wrong reasons.

I agree, If they came out with Carbon Fiber replacement mirrors I'd be all about it. But stick ons? HELL NO.... and the funny part is what Zele charges for those stick ons.

Aesthetic CF FTL... seriously... why try to look like something you are not...?

It's not rice if you're willing to paint the carbon

I'm not 100% sure how much a CF roof will save weight compared to the stock one on the car. I mean Its made out of aluminum right? From what I have been told that if its dry carbon (to make it super light and strong) it isn't worth it.
