Default Halltech Carbon Fiber SidePort™ Fender inserts and RearPort™ brake inserts

Most of you know that Halltech Carbon Fiber is dry carbon pre-impregnated, vacuum bagged and oven roasted for strength.

You have seen our HivePort™ Carbon NACA duct insert, our GT2 DRED Hood, the Halltech Super Bee™ Carbon intake and Beehive™ Carbon, so here is the question. We are looking into carbon fiber SidePorts™ on the front fender vents, and the RearPorts™ that feed cold air to the rear brakes. Maybe a few other plastic splash guards?

Let me know what you think. Interested?

I would definitely be interested. The stock plastic black ones look cheap. I have APR carbon fiber side skirts, front splitter, and rear spoiler now. Those duct inserts in carbon fiber would be a great addition. Let me know if you come out with some. I would definately volunteer to be a guinea pig if you wanted to give me a pair to try out and take pictures of.

The rears would be great if they were larger to cover up existing rock chip damage.

Price / fit and finish(i know you guys are top notch) / solid install depending, I would be very interested. Only reason I haven't grabbed NACA Duct is the price and the pics look like there is a gap on the top. I'm waiting to see one in person I guess. It's real easy to have buyers remorse when CF stuff is involved due to the fitment.

That was my car. The duct is EXACTLY the same size and shape of the stock piece. I left more material at the top on mine, which we removed later.

I would like a set; Although the price would probable keep me from purchasing. Quality carbon parts are really pricey. I know your quality will be there so the price will reflect that. You get what you pay for, Quality=lots of money.

I recently purchased both front & both rear ducts from my local chev dealer and to my surprise all 4 were only $26.00. I then shipped them up to Paul's chrome plating in Evans city, PA to have them chromed. Then when I get them back I have something really cool attached to them before I fit them in the fenders. I will be glad to show pics of them at that time.
