[z240zman]

Anyone out there have a contact(s) for carbon fiber parts for the 240Z? I'm intyerested in body parts and interior parts.

Thanks

I think there was a huge discussion on the website awhile back. Do a search for carbon fiber (or carbon fibre) and see what happens.

Les Cannaday told me that there is a shortage of carbon fiber because of large government contracts.

Carbon fiber is readily available but the prices have gone up. I sell real CF hoods and hatches for the 240Z.

John:

Can you give us an example of what a "not real" carbon fiber hood or hatch would be made of?

thanks,

Carl B.

A fiberglass hood or hatch with a layer of carbon fiber on top. Its a fiberglass part with a very thin, light weave trim layer of CF on top.

How well do they hold paint John? Will there be a noticable difference between the fenders and the hood color if painted?

[John Coffey]

There should be no color difference if the panels are painted at the some time using the same paint batch. Below is a shot of a full carbon fiber hood on my old 240Z painted with Toyota Super White 2. The fenders have the same paint color but they were painted about 4 years earlier.

Looks nice. Might be a winter project for me.
