Anyone know where I can find Carbon fiber covers for the airbox cover as well as the other covers in the engine compartment?

if you have a 1.8L, check out http://www.abdracing.com/

If you have a V6, there is nothing available that I am aware of. Nenad was trying to get them made, but I don't think that ever worked out.

Here is that thread:

But those were not real carbon fiber. The ones at ABD are overpriced and are only a cover overlay that goes over the existing cover.

Well, that sucks. I know some of ABD's stuff is overpriced and Ive never been a fan of the CF covers. Some of them just looked like the fabric overlay was really done in a crappy manner. Craftsmanship was NOT there.

I saw a CF engine cover at the NEw Dimensions car show this year. They said the price was about$ 250.00. The guy at the tent was saying there might be a group buy coming up soon and they would sell for about $200. They didn't have anything else other than the engine cover.

true, but i'm sure most people here get it for the looks, so the savings in price is definately worth it, IMO!

 

[woodyups]

He says he will make more if enough people are interested. I think 10 to 20 people he would do it.

 

[HKB5variant]

Yes, I'm think of opening a GB for both 1.8T and V6 carbon look engine cover if quantity can reach 15-20.

 

[Stranded In Daytona]

interested if the price is reasonable

 

[woodyups]

Count me in!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RiverRipper]

I would get the 1.8T covers if the price and quality are both good.
