They would not give the price at the show but say it would be give out at the end of the year.   I believe they are waiting till the Tokyo Auto

Salon Show happening in Tokyo in January 2026.  They were planning a production run of 100 of these Aluminum Panels.   The well known 

Japanese Performance Company-Star Road is handling the sale of these 240Z panels.  The panels have an excellent fit and well constructed.  I would definitely recommend them.

Beautiful car! Thanks for posting these up. I would be interested in a pair of doors and maybe the roof is the prices is somewhat sane.

I've been following Star Road for a long time and was really excited when they first showed their aluminum panels. Maybe in the next decade when I'm repainting I'll consider the aluminum doors and fenders since their fitment is likely much better than other aftermarket options.

 

These would definitely be great options for your build, though likely not the fenders if you're going wide. There are a handful of carbon hood options so I think most people probably aren't as interested in the hood unless they're getting most of the rest.
