Hi, if you have the chance of taking a couple of pics, it would be nice.

black for the fronts... red on the sides?

As requested, pics of side and front vents in Carbon Fiber. Also had rear spoiler, diffusers and mirrors made. Silver looks great on dark colors for contrast, I like the black-ish contrast with the white and getting rid of bits that look like plastic.

Thanks. Are the vents real carbon or it’s a dip print?
in the first case, where have you bought them from?
i like them. Interesting the red accents as well, including the one on the decal.

Thanks, everything is real carbon, you can select the weave and a gloss or matte finish. I think the front and side vents were approx $550 for both. I’ve had them for a few years, so price may have changed and I got a discount with all of the parts I hade made. I got them from Carbonlution, if you PM I can give you their info, not sure if I’m allowed to post it here.

Thanks for the info. Very good price!
In the cabinet here in my office I have the carbonlution inner side sills. Delivered last Thursday. I did not even had the time to open the box and look at them
I hope to find some time this WE to mount them.

For sure I will and send you the link, even if there is not much I did.
I have seen that as of today in the carbolution website "your" parts are not listed.

I just looked at their site as well. They had even fewer parts available when I worked with them, but they were willing to custom make the parts I wanted. I sent the rear spoiler from my car for them to make a mold...now I see they are offering that part on their site. Their prices were good, great to work with and their finished product looked good and seems to be holding up (although the car is well taken care of and always garaged).

Really like the black fronts. Can you post a better pic of the body color sides? Never thought about that option. Looks great!
