HOLY SHIT!

SlammedR8 · 08-28-2008, 10:25 AM

WOW!!!!!!!!!

WHERE did you get that?

Nate@IND · 08-28-2008, 10:31 AM

The airbox is from CA Auto UK. We are the official US distributor for all CA Auto CF parts. Please check this link http://www.ind-distribution.com/deta...make=44&part=5

KonigsTiger · 08-28-2008, 10:35 AM

$4,450!!!

May be a bit much! I think I'd rather save that for something else. The CF interior seems to be a great price though.

Reincarnated · 08-28-2008, 10:50 AM

It looks like it is just the top that is CF. Is the entire box CF?

Yeah, I read the website but the bottom section doesn't look like CF.

Clear enough! Any chance of a discount? Would it fit the AA front strut bar since the air box is larger?

Ok, so it's $4.4k just for the top part being CF. Rather steep.
Can we get a better pic of the underside than is on your site? Having trouble picturing 75% of that box is CF with it only looking like the top cover is.

Ryan(e92) · 08-28-2008, 01:28 PM

who cares 4k for that is as stupid as it gets. I payed 4600 for my hre p40s. p40's or an airbox......... hmmmmmmmm tough decision.

BMW3R · 08-28-2008, 01:35 PM

Why are they so expensive? It seems like it would be better to try and produce a higher volume and sell at a lower cost. I for one would think more along the line of $500 for a CF airbox.

Nate@IND · 08-28-2008, 01:35 PM

Please don't shoot the messenger

The pricing on our website is the same as CA-Automotive UK. I will email Roy and find out some more info on this CF piece.

Thanks

Question number 1 should be "Do you expect to sell more than 10 of these ever at $4,500 each?"
