Cheap fibreglass headlight air intake

Postby sticky nicky » Thu Jul 05, 2012 9:22 pm

Hi guys, I found this headlight intake on ebay and thought it was a good price. This guy makes them himself, I have no affiliation with him. Im thinking of getting one and carbon fibre wrapping it.

The second link is the ebay listing and the first link is his website.

I have contacted the seller. There is also a NACA duct version.

Anyone interested in a group buy?

In his answer to the question at the bottom of the EBay ad he mentions that he's planning to start doing carbon fibre versions. If you were thinking of carbon wrapping, you may prefer to wait a while and get the real thing.

I'd be interested in a group buy for a pair.

The NACA duct looks quite discrete.
