yeah that is pretty different, if you had a racecar w/ cf hood, spoiler ect. that would look good. i would like to see what it looks like on my black z but 221 +150 shipping is a lil high

Definitely not to my personal liking, but it looks like a well made piece.

150 for shipping and handling?!? 100 of that is handling they said...OMG! The ad states that even if you come pick it up from their factory, they charge you 100 bucks for handling which includes the box and packaging. Why would you need the box and packaging if you come pick it up for yourself? I smell a rip-off.

I didn't catch all that, 100 bucks for a pickup is absurd.

its just a regular tail panel and they then cover it with the carbon fiber material. and vacuum it to get a tight fit. so its no strongere or lighter that orig, and fitment would be cause its a thicker material now once its covered, and might fit tighter or not at all.

Big surprise, most cf and fiberglass crap off e-bay is going to have fitment issues. It's inevitable.

I actually have this panel on my 96Z. It does have some fitment issues, but it's not just the plastic piece covered in CF. It's made completely from scratch of CF. I didn't pay that much for mine however, I won one of the earlier auctions so shipping was less.
