Got bored, made this...
Sup guys,
Here's my little project for the day. I didn't like the exposed intercooler piping and couplers so I made custom covers. I ordered Carbign Craft 12x12 CF plates which I cut to fit, drilled a couple of holes and bolted them to the bumper support bar. As a bonus they turned out to be a great mounting place for the apr splitter rods. Pretty cool I think!

No, I didn't take a pic and I would have to take the bumper off to take one. But its just bolted to the bumper support bar.

What did you use to cut the carbon? Pics of it with the bumper off? I have the kraftwerks kit and would like to do something similar.

I used a dremel to cut it and sorry but I didn't take pics with the bumper off.

Only thing I see, would be if the insides were angled in towards the intercooler so they sat flush, creating a scoop-like effect. As opposed to being flat.
Very cool though, great location for the splitter rods. Looks clean!

Yeah thats actually what I wanted but It would have to be molded that way and I don't have much experience with composites and such. I should look into it tho..
