good stuff!
You can make a form out of balsa and glass so you can repeat the making of a part, like a center console.

Exactly. I want to try to make an intake tube and an intake box. Like a real carbon fiber cold air intake kit with box and ram air.

I picked up a 3" x 2' (extend-able to 8'!!!) aluminum, semi-rigid form-able duct for mine. Maybe I'll get that done soon! LOL

Haha, get it done. The reason I want the carbon fiber is for looks, and also it can disperse heat better. And, it does just look great. It'll be nice
and the ram air box will be a true ram air because it'll seal against the intake tube.

Dry carbon is much harder to make. I think dry carbon would be better though. And the intake I'm thinking of is going to be like my cold air one,
just with a box surrounding it, and a ram air tube
