Very nice looking setup. I have the CF air bridge, but where did you get the CF filter base?

YES I did in fact read the post and not just look at the pictures. I even did a search on the info supplied and although it gave me many places to look, I did not find the Carbon Fiber piece only the filter. I did notice on a few of the sites it listed the filter with a carbon fiber base, but it was not the attachment piece. Sorry if I upset you by asking a simple question that would maybe lead me to what I was looking for.

Sorry you obviously got upset when I provided you with the info you requested. You are welcome, regardless. Happy Holidays!

Very first Yahoo search result using "RP-5135" netted a direct link to K&N's website:

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=RP-5135

In the item description, it states: "carbon fiber top and flange". Flange = base.

Same here! I am changing all the "Z06 red" stuff under the hood to real carbon fiber, so I need a similar air intake setup. Looks clean!
