The Mazda MX-5, Nissan 350Z, 370Z, 300ZX and 240SX are drivers' cars, and their interiors deserve more than tired grey plastic. A carbon look on the dashboard, centre console and doors gives the cabin the sporty feel the car already has on the road. Our kits are made for each model, self-adhesive and flexible, so they follow rounded panels and go on without removing anything. Here is every Japanese sports car we make kits for, from the MX-5 NA to the 370Z, plus the Mazda RX-8.

Every product page shows the parts diagram. Compare it with your own dashboard before ordering – equipment such as the radio, climate panel or gearbox can change the shape of some parts. Not sure which version you have? Send us a photo of your dashboard.
How our carbon look is made
Our carbon-look trim is not cut from carbon fibre fabric. It is a sandwich built for the job of covering existing trim panels:
- 6D carbon film – a high-quality carbon-look film with a very deep weave pattern.
- 3M 468MP adhesive – an automotive-grade adhesive layer laminated to the back, made to stay put in a car interior.
- 3 mm clear polyurethane dome – poured on top by hand. It gives the weave real depth, a high gloss and soft rounded edges.
- Curing time – the polyurethane cures for about two weeks until the surface is hard and glassy.
The result is a glossy carbon look with real depth that sits on the original trim as if it had always been there – while the part itself stays flexible enough to follow rounded panels.
Carbon-look trim or real carbon fibre parts?
| Real carbon fibre parts | Our carbon-look trim | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Carbon fibre fabric in resin | 6D carbon film under a 3 mm clear PU dome – not real carbon |
| Edges | Cut fabric edges can fray and need finishing | Smooth, rounded edges formed by the PU dome |
| Curved panels | Rigid – the part must be moulded to the shape | Flexible – follows curved trim panels |
| Fitting | Often replacement panels; trim has to come out | Stuck onto the original surfaces, nothing removed |
| Budget | Expensive | A sporty look and a different mood for a small budget |
Choose your carbon look
Every kit is made to order. Besides the classic black carbon look, you can choose blue, red or silver carbon looks – or one of our wood and aluminium looks. The kits ship high-gloss; for a matte look, spray one or two thin coats of clear matt lacquer on the parts before fitting.
Fitting: step by step
You do not need a workshop – a clean car, a free afternoon and a little patience are enough.
- Warm interior. Fit the parts at room temperature, ideally above 15 °C – cold adhesive does not bond well.
- Clean and degrease. Wipe every surface with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Cockpit sprays and silicone cleaners stop the adhesive from sticking.
- Dry fit first. Hold each part in place without removing the backing and compare it with the parts diagram.
- Place and press. Peel the backing, set the part with one edge first, then press it down firmly from the centre outwards.
- Press again after 24 hours. The adhesive reaches full strength after about a day; do not clean the parts with solvents in the first days.
Our fitting guide explains every step in detail.
Questions we hear often
Which MX-5 generation do I have?
The NA (1989–1997) has pop-up headlights, the NB has fixed headlights, the NC was built from 2005 to 2015 and the ND from 2015. Our NB kit covers 2000–2005 and our NC kit 2009–2015 – if your car is outside those years, check the parts diagram first.
Why are there two 350Z kits?
The 2003–2005 kit fits the early 350Z; the 2006–2008 kit is made for cars with automatic transmission. Compare the parts diagram with your centre console.
Is it real carbon fibre?
No. It is a carbon-look film under a 3 mm clear polyurethane dome. The depth and gloss come close to the look of carbon fibre, but the material is not carbon fibre.
Do I have to remove the dashboard?
No. The parts go onto the existing trim surfaces – nothing has to be dismantled.
Gloss or matte?
The kits ship high-gloss. For a matte carbon look, spray one or two thin coats of clear matt lacquer on the parts before fitting.
