Will M7 provide one of these scoops already painted (I'm thinking either black or body-color) for a fee?

can't wait for pics of the carbon version. So far I've not been into carbon but I think it will look great on a Jet Black car, no $$$ to spend on paint...

Shot it at NAIAS today It's pure function so I kinda like it but it's an expediant design. It does the same as other design in that it rams more air into the same aperture. Ours has a larger aperture which makes a significant difference.

Thanks Sid

Did you see anything else that Mini is coming out with. Did they have the new JCW lightweight there.

Disapointed Nice show just because they have Minis and the Traveler concept but no JCW lightweight. Not even JCW's trick parts in their glass case

The first mold we made is capable of wet layup and vaccum-bag layup so
CF will be produced right away.
Be aware that we will raise the cost of the CF units to $289.00 in the begining of February due to the cost of the 3k CF cloth.
