Carbon Fiber Cowl Scoop

There is a company in Japan who manufactures a cowl scoop that is made out of Carbon Fiber.

Does anybody have a US source for this product?

Sorry Guys...

Those are made of "Orange Peel" ABS. Not Carbon Fiber.

I have the benfer and it is a really high quality piece..easy install and great OEM like fit. Helpful hint..you can buy them from benfer on ebay for $50. less than is advertised on their site.

The BenFer ones are ABS

The ones that I posted a link to at the beginning of this thread are carbon fiber.

Wow... trying to read this thread will make your head hurt.

Step 1) read the first post
Step 2) click the link in the first post
Step 3) try to read the rest of the thread while ignoring the people who didn't follow Steps 1 and 2

It's tough.

Sorry, I don't know where you can get a set.
