350Z Door armrest/ switch bezel, carbon Fiber replacements?

[pill90]

I have a 2006 Z that I bought used. It only had about 10,000 miles on it. For the low mileage of the car I am somewhat surprised at the scratching that is on both door switch bezels. I guess I can buy new ones for about $70. each. I don't really want to fork out that kind of cash, only to see them get messed up again. Maybe they won't, the previous owner maybe was hard on doors but easy on the rest of the car.I have found carbon fiber covers on line , $129 / pair,but only for right hand drive cars. Can anyone direct me to someone who makes replacements or covers, preferably black carbon fiber? I have searched and searched but can't find them. The car is in otherwise excellent condition, and I don't plan many changes to it other than some soundproofing.

previous owner could have worn lots of rings/bracelets causing it to get all scratched up..... let me look around, i'll try to find you something right now....

this is all i could find for now.... maybe contact them to see if they have -or- can get the driver side.

Thanks, that's pretty fast work. I looked at that site and didn't see it. I was searching for a switch bezel, it's called that elsewhere. I will order the right, if that's all they have, it's the worst one anyway.

Love my Z, thanks for your help.

Ok, did the parts search, and joined Courtesy Parts as a customer, found that there are actually 3 right side Finishers listed. All are black, look identical in the picture, but for different model years. The 2006 is $70. i think I'll put this back on hold and continue to look for carbon fiber parts.

I will also check with my dealer to see what the difference is in the parts.

i did see the carbon fiber on e-bay.... sux its RHD only. Maybe shoot them an e-mail and see if they know someone who offers carbon fiber LHD.... i'll look some more, see what turns up....

I FOUND IT..... at least i hope this is it, and i hope you have paypal...

Thanks again, you are on top of it....

I have paypal, and I've emailed them to make sure they will fit an '06.

I also made contact with an ebay seller who promises to have them available by the end of June. I will keep you posted.

Ok, got a set ordered from Evo-R. He says the 2006 is slightly longer than 2005. He had 1 set in stock. The deal is done. Thanks for your help, I would never have found him. My son has an Evo, I will pass the Evo-R site on to him.

this is gross, ive been trying to find CF steering wheel covers for a base z (without the cutouts for buttons and whatnot) for an hour , but most are sold in an expensive kit which i don't need And they have cutouts for enthusiast and etc models. the scratches on the current covers are annoying to look at (usedcar) I'm hoping for any suggestions

can't you just repolish them?

[pill90]

"can't you just repolish them?-> The finish is scratched off. I tried to touch them up, looks like crap. I maybe could have had them repainted, maybe. I opted for new instead. This is my "baby" were talkin' about here.
