I posted this question in here because I figured that type r owners are more into the "bling" and performance stuff.

Anyways I was wondering has anyone or any company successfully made a replica of the j's racing front intake duct yet? The one im talking about is the little carbon fibre piece for the JDM front. To me it looks like it serves a function but not enough to pay for the price they're asking for, WAYY to high for a piece that probably only costed $10 max to make.

And NO im not talking about the whale ***** INTAKE. Just got to mention this because when I searched through the archives it seems like people always get this mixed up

 

Guess no one knows where I can get one huh?

only if they made it for both sides of the jdm dc bumper...brake ducts would be so cool

 

pretty much ... as simple as some knock offs seem .. they always find a way for the product to fit like crap ..

Seriously hand-laid real carbonfiber is super expensive, Id say that piece cost about $80 to make and I know its not mass produced. you also have to factor in overhead for shipping and distributing. Moreover, the retail shop that sell it you must also make a profit from it as well

Ok maybe not $10 but no way $80 either man! . It might cost a bit for materials yeah but labour is usually dirt cheap in most asian countries anyways. Also I did say to make only so theres no need to factor in that shipping and distributing costs hehe

J's racing products are designed and produced in Japan. Labor cost in Japan highly exceed the U.S. because of cost of living. Believe me, this is not a mass produced item.
