Ok, after long R&D, I finally have a finished product of the Real Carbon Fiber side panels to match the CF Air guides. They look great and even better in person as the pics don't do them justice. I will also answer the questions that were asked in my last post on the prototypes. I will not be producing a one-piece air guide. In my original idea, I did look into making a one piece, but with thorough R&D there were several problems with it do to fitment. There are 3 pieces for a reason. In this area of the engine bay, there are many different factors to take into account. Every car's hood, hood latch, and left and right headlamps are all adjusted differently. Not to mention some cars that may even have had a front-end collision in the pasted. There are to many variables for fitment and adjustments to make a one piece to fit every car. As you can see in the pictures below, the side panels are machined to fit as flush as possible with absolutely no gaps between the panel and headlight for aesthetics. Though a one piece also looks nice, it makes no sense to mass produce it as fitment would not be exact for every car. The three separate pieces allows for all adjustments and fitting alignment. As you can now see of the finished products, the finish is the same as the air guides. The prototypes were constructed out of scrap panels, which were worn and aged. This is why the prototypes looked grossly different in texture and finish. There may be a slight differentiation of look (An illusion on camera) due to the refraction of light as the side panels are mount at a different angle than the center air guide. Well, without further delay, here is the finished Product:
 And here installed on the Z:
 I personally like the way the side panels slope upwards at the same angle as the headlights. I like the tiered, step effect it makes. But I know some of you want the flush look too so I am including zinc plated fastener screws and beauty finishers so you can anchor down the ends that meet the center piece.
 
I am still offering the air guides too. Here is a pic of all 3 pieces together. $220.00 Shipped for the set.
