Default Two Requests....

I've seen the carbon fiber Zo6 style brake ducts that can be added to my car. These are the real ones (you make the cuts, etc.)

Does anyone know if a company makes the stick on style brake ducts in carbon fiber? I really like the look but am unmotivated to pay big bucks to have the cuts done, etc. I'm pretty handy--but I don't have the time.

Second:

I'm thinking about replacing the outer window seals on my vert. They are very mottled and spotty and seam kinda "hard." Looks like about 150 bucks for both seals. Has anyone done a tutorial on this? Looks like pretty easy job, but I think it would require removal of the door panel...

Thanks for the help, guys. I appreciate it!

I don't know about the stick on CF brake ducts, and have not seen a DIY for the seals, but the service manuals should have instructions for that one - maybe DeeGee or someone can post them for you.

Oh please don't put "stick on" brake ducts on your car!

I was waiting for those who hate the stick on ducts and badges to chime in, LOL. I've seen the long threads in this regard. Save the arguments. I'm not sure if I'm going to do it but I'll make up my own mind, thanks! I appreciate your concern!

I don't want this thread to be a debate. Just looking for the answers to my two questions, thanks!
