Non-CF Front Air Ducts??
Has anyone seen a non-carbon fiber version of the front air duct that will match the gloss black of the grille and other parts?
I love the look of the carbon air duct the carbon package comes with but I want a gloss black one to match the rest of my car and replace the black mesh my car came with. The only ones I can find online are all carbon fiber replacements. Anyone seen alternative replacements?

There are some on aliexpress for around $300 but i think someone bought a set and the fitment was horrible, the cf ones fit perfectly though.

For the amount of people who need this, I'm surprised they are all carbon. Nobody who needs this has the carbon pack so it won't match anything but the roof.

I noticed they're based outside of the US. How long was shipping? Any issues i.e. communication? |

They are based in the UK but as far as I know shipping is super quick to the US. Drop them an email, they are very responsive.
I had my air ducts and front lip fitted by them directly (they have a place in London and I'm local to them). The parts are made close to Silverstone and fitment is spot on! Here's my car while I was in their shop. |

Anyone know what it looks like under the mesh? I can see a piece that looks like the air vent under the mesh. Not sure what it looks like w/o the mesh tho.

They fit very well, no gaps. Just so you know, the entire front bumper has to be removed to fit these.
Here's a close-up shot, you can see a mesh (or radiators?) behind. |

Wondering what it would look like if I just took off the mesh. Looks like there is a fin behind it.

I purchased the Ali express frp garbage- did not fit.
I then deleted the Ali express app and ordered cf inlet for around 700- fitment was great. Had them painted gloss black |
