Default Custom Hand made Air/Brake Intake EG6

Update: Both left and right are completed.

Pic of both sides.



It all started when a fist size rock took out my factory foglight. I didn't want to replace them since they honestly suck. Retro fitting an IS300 one would be too expensive. So the other option in covering the hole cut out of the bumper that would serve some function is a air duct of some sort for either the intake or brake. I didn't like the J's racing nor Memoryfab's design since they go over the bumper. A non black colored car looked like it has a black eye. Anyhow to make the story short, I decided to make one myself. What do you all think?

Made it out of fiberglass. I've made several pieces for me and my buddies and I'm getting better after every piece. I'm going to make one out of CF eventually.

Thanks! After demolding the piece, it takes me 2 hours to sand each piece down smooth from 100 grit all the way to 1200 grit.

I was somewhat interested until I saw a $69 price tag and "JDM Spoon" crap all over the auction. That's ******* retarded. Houston Texas is not Japan. Not to mention that nobody on these shores has an EG6. Nice work though. Hope ya get rich.

Wow!!! What has gotten you all worked up? I know Houston, TX is not Japan. . . . . I know this does not have anything to do with Spoon. I added those words to the auction's subject so that it would come out/get included in common searches. I'm just trying to get more people to look at it, that's all.

As far as price. $69 is approximately half the <U>fiberglass</U> ducts out there specifically made for the 92-95 Civic.

Even though I wish you could be nice about being picky, I still do appreciate you pointing it out. I'll add a clarification in the description in the auction.
