Default Carbon Fiber Hood and front fender vents

APR just installed their new full Carbon Fiber hood vent and front fender vents on my Z. Pics don't do these pieces any justice. In person, they are GORGEOUS. Decide for yourself...here are the pics:























The rear spoiler, front spats and rear quarter panel vents should all be in house by end of next week. Installation will be shortly thereafter.

Tony and the crew at APR have really outdone themselves.

According to APR, installation was straightforward. No surprises since they used all the OEM locations and brackets.

Call Tony at APR in regards to pricing. I don't have my invoice with me and I don't want to give you false pricing. Tony can also give you installation secrets to make it easier.

Clean is a GREAT adjective to describe their pieces. Fitment is OEM, Quality and workmanship is top notch all backed by testing and real world racing.

I saw Tony with an APR equipped DSO Z at Long Beach last week. It's coming along really nicely. Assuming it was yours?

Yeah, that be mine. I was on vacation, so I couldn't make the event. I lent Tony and APR the car so they could install the parts they had and show it in LB.

BTW, the spoiler, rear quarter vents, and winglets are ready for install. The Z will be at APR again on Monday.

I believe it's a bit wider at the ends. It is not an OEM replica. APR puts their spin on their parts after testing. If it makes sense, APR will modify parts a bit for better aerodynamics. My new rear spoiler will have subtle changes. The rear diffuser and side rockers are also different. The key is OEM fasteners and mounting locations and hardware glassed into the Carbon Fiber during manufacturing.

I know, I know a bunch of industry mumbo -jumbo, but I was schooled by APR before any piece was made.

A brand new DSOM vert was in APR's shop two weeks ago along with mine and he is on the list for EVERYTHING they have for the vert. The car had less than 1k miles on it and he wants every carbon fiber piece available. With the top down, that ZO6 vert look is hard to beat! What a gorgeous car and being in SoCal...it only makes sense!

Yeah, go Carbon Fiber on your DSOM. Our color makes the Carbon Fiber POP even more. It does not get drowned out or lost like in the darker colors. APR's stuff does not have that brown hue to it so it looks even better than the OEM stuff.

Post pics of your Z when done! I think the vert will look ABSOLUTELY killer with the CF pieces.
