Carbon fiber side scuttles (Finished!)

A local shop was able to make me a set of these, incredible work and pure art. I didn't realize how how many trials/hours it takes to make such a little part. I am extremely happy with the results, they add so much more character while maintaining oem-curves. If you want a set, you can get them through his store.

Expect another photoshoot soon!!!

I'm pretty sure they're I'm the process of making bolt-on ones but these would never come off.

i got some AC CF side scuttles and they are just as nice. I believe they charge less as well. you can also get them with the "s" on it too! thats the way i ordered them but i decided to take them off for a cleaner look.

I sent this thread to my buddy Jim (Rogue Se7ens here on NAM) at Rogue Motorsports because I knew he use to make some just like this. He said these look like top notch parts and at a good price. So it's good to see someone is continuing on with this item, and personally I won't deal with AC.

whats wrong with AC? you can PM me if you prefer but ive never had any issues working with them.

I didnt realize they stopped selling CF parts.... what a shame, i really wanted to get the CF doorhandles... *hint hint*
