Just be sure and have a good UV protectant on those CF pieces. They have a tendency to turn yellow and haze if not taken care of. I have a CF hood and it has been looking good for about 10 years (300ZXTT), but can see a hint of yellowing even with it garaged 99.9% of the time. I do live in the desert though, and the sun is really harsh.

I finally decided to go with the stick on carbon fiber. I like the option to being able to go back to stock. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to purchase?
Also, the carbon fiber strip near the front window has pealed off for the second time. It's the piece that connects to the air vents. Has this happened to anyone else? Not sure what to do with it...

bumbing this tread, anyone else done it. And most importent, any one else have more Pictures?
I have a silver C2 Cab and Think it would go realy nice with the black color of the cab, maybe also fit a CF aerospoiler in the back to complete it.

I'm a big fan of CF and lots of it. I sanded down my OEM mirror enclosures and covered them in CF. I also added about 5 coats of automotive clear coat for UV protection.
