Looks like those are the CF Type peices and not Carbonwerks.. Leo at Carbonwerks makes sure the weave pattern in the Carbon Fiber goes the same direction in each peice.. those peices in the pictures above have different weave patterns.

I purchased through The Hook-up Shop because Carbonwerks doesn't make the CF Radiator Cool Panel.

Too much, paid $125 for it. It does look better than the flat black plastic tho.

This goes on later this week (oil catch can), I wanted to put it on today but have too much stuff going on right now. This is a cosmetic addition.

I like it very much. It uses a K&N filter (but dont confuse it with the typhoon that many people have complained about). Its a closed intake that receives pressurized air into a fully sealed air box from outside of the super heated engine compartment. I have noticed a performance increase, but I have the full SR setup, not just the intake. Check out my virtual garage for all my add-ons. https://www.rx8club.com/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=13961

The dealership loves my setup. I have been told by the shop manager that as long as I dont mess with the computer, that my warranty is good. No CZ for me.

Here is a list of everything installed in my 8, https://www.rx8club.com/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=13961

I really like the SR parts and recommend them. The site used to claim a 40hp gain for the GT-4 package (which was bs), I'm glad they took down that claim and just left a copy of the dyno. The sound you get with the SR setup is very aggressive, not overbearing, but you can definately hear it coming.

Only one problem with meeting AT the Hookup Shop... I live in Texas. I had the CF parts shipped from there, I didnt walk in and purchase them.
