Default Dual Carbon Fiber air ducts.... Need a little help

So i have been searching everywhere to find a passenger side air duct to match the original Varis style (shine auto) air duct i have now... I like the symmetrical look....

Coincidentally i came across someone (see picture below) i found that has one but he just sold his Z like 2 days ago and isnt responding on the website i found it on...

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I have called a couple places to see if they would make one but i dont think the demand is high enough to do so.


Thanks!!
_Chad

Yeah for looks, I have had the one Varis air duct on for 2 years now and since day one it always seemed like the bumper was missing something.... It needed a match for the other side.

My father in law works with fiberglass and carbon fiber and could possibly make one but if theres a company out there that has them ready to buy i am in....


Whos going to be my hero and tell me where i can buy one!

Guys thank you for your input but those Titek ones wont work... They are completely different looking.....
I already have the Varis style on my drivers side seen in the picture i provided installed.... i just need the match for the other side.

Found the mirror version on ebay, some guy sells them in a set of 2... I will just sell the drivers side one when they come in... Looks like the company does a lot of Carbon Fiber stuff...

Thanks to all for the input, the Titek ones that most people suggested are great but i only need the matching "Varis" style passenger side duct which is completely different looking.

Close thread mods please thank you

Dude... I'd just get the Titek set to match. I have a Varis and I've seen numerous other ones and no two look exactly the same. So you have a Shine auto now and then a no name to match? Thats like buying a black suit jacket from ALDO and trying to find Hugo Boss slacks to match... you'll never be able to do it.

Bump-

I ordered the Titek Dual CF Ducts, but due to my Stillen CAI they won't fit as my cold air piping is in the way. If I moved them to the center and I drove through water it would get sucked up into the engine. My friend who is installing them is a member of our group and is a GTR tech. Anyone else have this problem with long tube CAI's? I hate wasting money.

Wait what... you're installing these with a CAI????

Please be trolling, the only reason people get these is because short ram is trapped soaking in hot air. The air ducts function as an inlet for cold pressurized air to pass through directly to the intake. On a CAI it has no purpose...

You also have an HR, I'm guessing you have the Stillen Gen 3 intake. You are perfectly fine with those, they're in a highly pressurized zone so therefore you have no need for the air duct. Just sell them in the market place.

Dumb, uninformed, off the cuff buy. Live and learn, and yes they will be in the marketplace today. Brand new, still in the box.
