Default Carbon fiber del sol reflector scoop thingy' - your thoughts'
A good friend of mine is learning how to make parts out of carbon fiber. His work is very impressive... this is one of his latest creations. There are similar items for Civic's, but i've yet to see something like this for a del sol.. your thoughts?

thats nice!

wow, almost like an air scoop. one thing to remember, not a lot of del sol owners have a SC, so there might not be that big of a demand for them.

Warped just wrapped it in CF. Close enough though I guess. It totally has the look. Here's the thread this was originally posted in over on hondavision.

EDIT: That thread explains a lot more of the intended function of the scoop.

Ithink it looks cheap cuz it doesn't flow at all. Atleast cover the whole reflector. But funtion &gt; form.

Do you think he can make the scoop that goes in place of the foglamp for an eg? Can't find the website. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
