G'day folks - Mikey here from da Eastcoast!

I have recently been able to acquire a deal with a new composite fabrication company that can supply us with an almost endless array of automotive parts in exotic materials such as CFRP, kevlar or carbon-kevlar.

As you know, such materials are very lightweight yet amazingly strong, and contrary to popular belief - they absorb less heat than metal - which makes them very ideal for automotive applications. Like all other manufacturers out there, they employ the same technologies (ie: vacuum wrap-formed / UV heat-baked) and in some cases utilise better materials for higher durability and strength.

However, through successful negotiations I have been able to secure a deal that will offer a vast range of products specifically designed for the FTO at a significantly reduced cost and made entirely from carbonfibre, kevlar or carbon-kevlar (if you've really got money to burn) for a truly professional result.

To get started, we are now ready to mass-manufacture the following items for the FTO (MIVEC & non MIVEC)

1) Radiator heatshield
2) Podfilter airbox/heatshield
* Optional - Intake pipe and CAI hose to suit the airbox (currently in development)

If you wish to discuss further about such applications for your car then please do so here. There will be separate group buy threads posted for each available item shortly once I finalise the pricing with my supplier this week so you can place your order (and make it easier for me to track them).

For those who are seriously interested, there are significant cost savings (not to mention the street-cred and performance benefits ) when compared to similar offerings by other vendors out there so keep an eye out for the group buys.

So, who's up for some carbon fetish??
