D&V Autobody of Sterling, Virginia updated my 370Z with a customized Top Secret carbon fiber lip and front bumper. Specifically, they removed the bumper intake slats and replaced them with a custom gloss black mesh grill. Then they painted the fang portion of the Top Secret carbon satin black while leaving the actual lip clear coated carbon fiber. In addtion, to protect my investment from speed bumps and driveways, they treated the underside of the Top Secret lip with Rhino truck bed liner. Lastly, Carbon Signal's vented fenders were meticulously prepared and installed along with custom spray tinted tail lights.

Nice! You sold me on the fenders now! Fit looks great! Are they the OEM fender or fiberglass?

They're Carbon Signal's vented fenders.

The photos are from the D&V Autobody Facebook page. In fact, I haven't even seen the car in person yet. As soon as I pick it up, I'll post more pictures. As far as fitment goes, the Carbon Signal fenders were spot on. However, D&V Autobody did some minor surface repair and stuctural reinforcement so that the integrity of the fenders won't deteriorate over the long haul.
