Default mines air intake duct

i was browsing honda tech and there were these pics of an AWESOME ppw 350z with what looked to be gunmetal or black lmgt4s, black housing head lights (which looked sick on the white ) a CF front lip, and a mines air intake duct (carbon fiber)

i lost the link, but does anybody know where to get this piece? it definitely looks like a hot item.

here you go, i hope this is it (its expensive as hell and you have to cut the bumper, but if i had the money i would get it).

on second thought, the price is WAY too ****ing ridiculous. almost funny. It about triples the cost of any intake system, so it'd better triple the gains as well, to get my business.

do you mean this Z? (scroll down a bit)
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=86833

the cheaper alternative is the varis CF air duct. $140 if you order it (probably long wait) or $163 if www.bulletproofautomotive.com still as it on hand. i ordered mine, they had it on hand, should be here on monday or tuesday! here is a pic of the vris one

Can you give me a direct link where I can get the Varis Duct for $163? All I see is the Mines one, and a Varis duct for an Evo.

That has got to be one of the most LAMEASS things I have ever heard. $160 is kind of cheap but $400+? For an Intake duct which is "Strictly for looks", I hope youre the one whos ****ing kidding. If its true, In my mind, It ranks Right up there with those electronic BOV's.

Hell, I'll just save myself the cash. I'll take a picture of it and Glue the picture to my bumper.

Good writeup...I think it'd look sweeter if painted to match the car. I Would get one if the wait was Under 3 months.
