Here's mine. Its made by Garage Defend. It doesn't really do much other than look cool and maybe direct a little bit more air into the airbox inlet.

The "bling" factor is definitely there. The pic does not do it justice. The wind blah blah is marketing. I got mine for $170 from another board member. There was a group buy a few months ago for around $380 or so for the Garage Defend. I would recommend looking for that thread in the group buy section because it has most of the info you are looking for.

I have some that are all made and ready to sell. The are carbon kevlar, which is very similar to carbon fiber, except they are colored weaves, and also the kevlar is more difficult to cut (more production costs basically)

I have one of these...



One red/black carbon kevlar, and several carbon fiber panels, pictured below:



I am no longer making them, so I will sell the carbon fiber ones for $200, and the carbon kevlar (spoon style weave, and red/black weave) for $260. Shipping is $20. Local pickup in the SW FL area is available

Thanks

Chris
