CF Airbox Lids

Anybody have CF Airbox Lids?

I've already got ROW Airboxes, was going to pick up a GruppeM Style Air-Intake, wanted to finish off the engine bay with some CF Engine Cover / Airbox Lids?

I know there's the Carbonio, but, are there any other options? I've got brand new aFe Filters to be installed too, so I don't want to waste those.

Thanks!

Not looking to really upgrade the ROW Airboxes per say.

I've got the Ram Air Part coming in CF, I just wanted to get the Engine Cover and Airbox Lids done in CF too, without changing out the whole thing.

Just to complete the look.

I don't think any vendor just sells those specific parts. Maybe ebay or somewhere would have the parts seperate. I know Renntech sell the CF engine bay. If nothing else, you could always hydrodip those pieces to get the CF look.

If you just want 'the look' and for the box tops to fit in with the CF intake, you could spray paint it black, or hydrodip like INS1GNIA said. Can't wrap them unless you sand them down first which would be a pain.

I like my Carbonio's a lot, and there's probably a very marginal improvement over the ROWs, but there's no way I'd have them if I had to pay retail.

Just wrap your lids with CF Vinyl.


Most of the cheap Chinese CF yellows under the hood due to poor clear coat quality. Alternatively invest in the Renntech box that actually makes some power.

Have you looked at airbox lids? They have a textured finish and would be impossible to wrap.

Paint, or hydrodip.
