Well, mainly to just replace the OEM wiper/plastic. I screwed up and took the thing out, which is evidently a no-no on our car for venting the engine bay. The muscle cars do this for an induction effect, but on our car it will actually slow the car down and since our CAI's are in the front, there is zero gain to be had from removing that thing. So instead of replace it with OEM part, I was wondering if any of the carbon fiber shops have this item.

The other option is to fabricate one like on a real race car, although most people when they make a "wiper box" as some refer to it will just remove their wipers as well. I had thought about having someone fab one to work with the wipers, but was wondering if anyone had already designed one. It sure doesn't seem so, I have looked at all the usual suspects for carbon fiber goodies.
