    sick mang. They did a good job of laying up and v-bagging that carbon, it looks super-smooth inside. that's a hard shape to do too, props to they guys who built it and to you for getting it to fit! What kind of reinforcement did they use around the flanges? is it a sandwich reinforcement or something external?

      the flange is farily thick so I assume there is something under the weave, but I have not seen any production pics. What you can see is the metal inserts for the mounting points and the runners themselves. The mounting flange area is very solid.

        Nice. I've done CF airboxs for the SAE Formula car at school, and they are not easy! Looks like you got a really nice peice there. Thankfully street cars dont have any kind of restrictors or anything...we kept cracking our airboxes because of the massive vacuum caused by the intake restrictor, even with the reinforcements we added. Let us know how those dyno numbers come out!!!
