A I R ...American International Racing (California) has made fiberglass 928 Parts since before I ever owned one . They also can do carbon fiber composite , I bought one of their carbon hoods a couple years ago but they put the carbon on the underside gel coat on top .

That intake is interesting, but the best place to put those air filters would be right in front of the radiator. (ala, mark anderson's set up)

it looks to be a US model, so what kind of air meter are you using? is that y pipe running to the AFM buried out of sight?

So where is *your* fine handiwork?
Can you make a better CF dash in *your* garage?
If so, prove it...

mark,
the afm is still in the original spot with a new bracket made to mount to where the original air box was mounted.
Jim,
I didnt check with A.I.R. about what they offer but i did check on there web site and they didnt offer the hood, maybe i should of called them.
mpseik,
joking or not, i did not make the carbon fiber parts. I wish i had the skills to do it.

A I R has fenders hoods update bumper covers bigger wings , Box rockers and some really " unique" body kits . They still have most of the molds but rarely advertise the 928 parts ...too little interest . Like nearly all fiberglass parts , fit and finish needs fine tuning .
