For Sale: Fiberglass Side Scoops

[Kurk818]

5/23/17: Pictured below is the first CF version of the scoops. These are an overlay. I want to produce these in a vacuum bag setup due to the tight angle changes. Just wanted to post a teaser for now because they look pretty awesome on the 818.








4/10/17 Update: Ive had some recent interest in more scoops, which plays in nicely with my current schedule, to produce a few sets of scoops. I wanted to get a tally of who and what was needed. You can PM me or post within the thread Thanks




Im offering side scoops for the 818S and 818R for sale. They are available in a black gelcoat finish or white.

First set has gone to C.Plavan for installation and feedback.

The price for a pair of scoops is $375 plus shipping.

Please PM me with questions or to place an order.

I will only be producing 5 scoops sets at this time due to other obligations. August or so i should be able to produce more.

Lol, i dont judge, you shouldn't either

I spend enough time in there that its pretty much a necessity.

I'm not in the market for these yet, but it would be cool to see a shot of the whole car from the side along with front and rear 3/4 views.

[Kurk818]

I will have the car on its wheels and outside this weekend and will take some more photos.





Ive posted more photos here as well. http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showt...aser-Pic/page2

Thanks,

KAAA CHOW!







Much easier than putting any part of the body on previously

[Kurk818]

I have one left in black. Let me know if you're interested.

[Kurk818]

I'm starting another run of the scoops. Please PM me if you're interested.

[Kurk818]

[Kurk818]

I have a set in white ready to ship. PM me if you would like them

Now if you could knock out a clean set in carbon you'd have some buisness. Not some ffr Carbon some real carbon lol

I'm working on it.

Those would be mine ... They just arrived yesterday and look great; Thanks, Stan! FFR should hire you to run their FG production!

Unfortunately, they're going into storage and the 818 is getting wheeled out of the garage this weekend as an epoxy floor goes in. Hopefully the improved digs will inspire me to spend more time in there and finish the build.

How do the scoops mount? Do they have to be fiberglassed on pre-painting?

[wleehendrick]

I haven't mounted them yet, but Stan provides them with two mounting studs/nuts glassed into each scoop. You could glass them on for a seamless/show quality look, but drilling two holes into the sides sails, and adding a bead of silicone/RTV, should be sufficient, and all I plan on.

[tmoretta]

Seems like meager fitment. Will they stay on at speed?

Chad had a set on his R (see above in this thread); I'd be curious to know if he added any reinforcements or had any issues?

[Kurk818]

There are 4 mounting points for each scoop. These scoops do pull a large quantity of air and that can be felt by putting your hand inside the scoop while driving but no where near what it would take to rip them off. 1800 miles so far with speeds of up to 120mph without any issues.

Could you flip the scoop over and show the mounting points. I know the back two that you can see I already cut my side sail so I have to get creative to use this area to mount your scoops.

This is the best pic i could find at the moment that shows the two from mounting points

right after I reluctantly buy white... They look damn good from here

[Kurk818]

This is an overlay. There are issues with it that are not visible in the photo. I will put this set on my car for fitment but will not be selling carbon fiber scoops until I am happy with the result.

I do have a set in white available to ship today.

[C.Plavan]

One Upper here - I had mine over 130mph- multiple times, many laps, without any issues.

You mean wrapped?

[Kurk818]

You mean wrapped?

What's your definition of overlay vs wrap?

This was actually carbon fiber fabric that was layed up with epoxy over a black set of scoops followed by 3 coats of clear, cut and polish.

[07FIREBLADE]

I have no problem taking a set of defective ones. I don't need them to be perfect carbon fiber. It's going to be better than the stuff ffr provides anyway.

[RM1SepEx]

Wouldn't that be too thick for the opening, they fit pretty well.

Wrap would by vinyl... I understand the term overlay. Great idea to try it!

[Kurk818]

I have not fit this set into the factory panels as of yet. I know they won't fit up as tight as the molded pieces but the fitment should still be pretty decent. This was just a test run to try the concept out.

I have not fit them to my car as of yet

[tmoretta]

Anybody actually use these scoops yet that can attest to their effectiveness? Does considerably more air enter the side vents or do they serve merely to look bad ***?

[Kurk818]

What kind of test would you like to see performed to demonstrate effectiveness of the scoops?

Another photo dead on from the front.
