i just got my rps13 carbon fiber center piece - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have a question about the carbon fiber kouki tail light center piece. i just got mine and its like gold and black instead of grey and black.....are they all like this or are there different colors? im kind of disappointed because i was expecting the normal carbon fiber color.

Brian · 03-24-2003, 08:23 PM

it is supposed to be that gold/bronze color

CoasTek240 · 03-24-2003, 08:24 PM

i think some of them are the traditional carbon fiber gey and black combo.. i'm pretty sure i've seen them?

boro240 · 03-25-2003, 02:22 AM

no they all are like that

Dousan_PG · 03-25-2003, 07:18 AM

yeah boro is right, the carbon fibre ones that say "RPS13" are ALL gold and black (gold lettering, black CF)

like this:

(jspec carries it as well-where this image is from)

You mean the plastic ones are printed with a gold/black carbon fiber look.

*sykikchimp* · 03-25-2003, 09:58 AM

How much did you pay? I would love to have one, but they are $$$$

RedlineRacer · 03-25-2003, 11:05 AM

They are on Ebay all the time, not too expensive.

FRpilot · 03-26-2003, 01:34 AM

ruf, plastic painted with the gold/black cf LOOK? is that true? aren't those pieces real cf.

MasterOFDrift · 03-26-2003, 01:59 AM

No these pieces are not real carbon fiber. They are just carbon fiber "look" even the factory ones are just carbon fiber "look." Although they are still very sweet the price is just crazy.

I could get that made easy, out of fiberglass, and put real cf over it. but it won't have the rps13 on it. would it sell?

Well if there cheaper than the OEM ones, then you've already sold one (to BLiTz)

silviaparts.com · 03-26-2003, 08:29 AM

How do you think i would go about printing letters onto the panel? (if it's real cf on top of fiberglass) Paint? Would it be illegal to print RPS13?

ruf · 03-26-2003, 09:00 AM

Not really. I don't really see a problem with that. I almost made them out of real CF myself. Tough part is getting the holes machined for the back-up lights.

It would have to be OEM quality.
