Looks like an excellent and needed product that would compliment and update the Zs instrument cluster. It is also one of the few CF product that the driver actually experiences every time the car is driven. So it is probably the highest value carbon fiber product available for the interior. I'm shocked it's taken this long for someone to offer such a necessary product, and from Croatia.
The only problem is the price. It's $150-200 more than it should be for it to sell like other CF products.

u sure about that? i dont remember my stock cluster trim being an issue. i dont even remember looking at that trim all that well.

if there's cf, im sure i will start to notice it more, but it's not an offensive looking piece in stock form.

the bestbuy boombox fuel gauge silver plastic piece has been a known issue though...

so bad that nissan made it the correct black color since 2013.

wayyy steep.

there's another for 250 shipped.

150$ sounds good for that piece, we did it but interest wasn't there so didn't post pics

It's really disappointing to read that vendors are not seeing a market potential in a product like this. Especially when there is evidence to the contrary. If Z owners are purchasing carbon fiber pieces for other parts of the interior what gives them the impression that they would not be interested in a product that is continuously being requested and would be the most "seen" carbon fiber piece to the driver!
This guy from Croatia who did an "interest check" apparently found there was enough in this product to start selling it on E-bay. He'll soon find out that his prices are too high for the Z demographic, but once he adjusts prices to fit the market it will sell.
In the meantime....................

Exactly. I want this, but over $300 or 350 and it isn't worth it to me. Get the price right and I'll order one today.

The price is too steep.
For the size of these pieces,and if covering the awful silver
is the issue,I'd just remove the trim pieces and spray them a black
wrinkle finish.
Would give a neat hi-tech look.

Does anyone know if the instrument bezel face is easy to remove. It's a two piece cover but not sure if it pulls out or will it require removing the steering wheel upper cover before being able to extract the bezel cover.

I like this a lot. I'll wait though, almost $600 with shipping, heck I can buy a lot of different stuff for that.

like a cf rear diffuser!
