They will be in, in a couple of weeks. Kinda dont like the vents on them. But nevertheless the price is well worth it. Cheaper than Cwest and its a CFRP/FRP setup. Nice.
They're CFRP/FRP!?? Even BETTER!! That's a heck of a deal!

From the pic no AJR's site, it looks like the cover is CF and the fender is FRP?

i agree, one thing i like about the j's is that you can use the brake ducts ("if you track the car often") that'll route the air through that vent for easier flow

Thanks for your help on this!

Do you know if the fenders are wider than OEM?

Can you explain the configuration of CFRP/FRP?

Is part of the fender CFRP and part of it FRP, or does it just mean that the fender has CF and Fiberglass fibers inside the plastic? The finish looks like black plastic, right?

I've seen the J's S-type front bumper listed as CFRP/FRP. I thought the bumper was FRP and the splitter was CF, but I guess I'm wrong.

I need to know if there is a difference in repairing/modifying CFRP vs FRP parts. If you have any info about that, please post it!

I'm not feeling the vent, either.

We recently got two sets of VARIS fenders in one in carbon and one in FRP. The carbon ones were amazing because they are full carbon inside and out.

The carbon fenders are sold, but the FRP ones are still in stock. If anyone is interested just give us a ring. (our website pricing is the price they'll sell for and they are sold only with the carbon panels in this case).

The design is amazing to see in person.
