It's looking great! I really like the seats and the cage, they fit like a glove. And the CF is classy, let's see more of that!

Re: 350Z progress. red color hehe

Are you using a hairdryer too?

When I CF'd the interior of my Z the hairdryer and a warm (not hot) damp paper towel heated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds worked better than the solvents.
