Making Nismo ducts

You know what's sad. You can replicate Nismo parts to equal original quality, and still undercut nismo prices 20%-40%. It shows how weak Nismo products are.

the real NISMO ducts are dry CF... that is why they are expensive... no one on this site is going to make DRY CF ducts and sell them for cheap. so no, yu can't make the same quality
