JDM CF cowl scoops installed

Well, I am back from Japan and sort of awake

Here is my first new item....

One item I was really looking forward to get this trip was CF Air Scoops from Jan Speed. People who prepaid and/or got in touch with me while in Japan for these, you will be pleased! These are beautifully made pieces. I am going to ship them out to you as soon as possible.

Out of the box


Look at the weave...


Mesh insert is nice touch....


Installed




I thought I might have couple of extras but they were all sold even before I returned. I can get them again on the next trip if you missed the boat this time.

More to come......

I like. Can you remind me how much you were charging to get them over here? That will determine if I want to get them next time.

Thanks guys. I can get the scoops for about the same price as they are selling in Japan. $310-320 range depending on the exchange rate. I got them for $310 this time.

Half splitter will be bolted on with some double sided tapes.

I am going to try to install them this weekend. I don't think it's going to do much aero dynamically (unlike the under body wings ) but sure I am going to have some bragging rights.... No one else will have them!! It is so juvenile but makes me really happy....

This is not my car but you get the idea.


I can get these for you on the next trip also...

Splitters are not cheep They go for 29000 yen (about $250). I will try to put them on this weekend.

I can get them for $250 for sure. If I can gather enough people I might be b able to get them cheeper. Just let me know.


Kenchan, good question. It is raining here in LA today so I will find out tomorrow morning I guess...
