I'm posting this to see if anybody is intersted in getting some B-pillars in carbon fiber. We know that Kaido and Import fan makes them, but this piece will be made from Japan.

Here's an example of the carbon fiber cooling panel they did for the s14

As you can see it has a VERY nice weave and its shiny. FInish is excellent. The B-pillars will have the same weave and finish. POst up if anybody is intersted. Price depends on the intersest.

This company is going to make the product themselves. YOu havne't seen the cooling panels they made for the s13/180. Unlike the other panels, it only covers the space in front of the radiator support. THis one covers the entire space and also the radiator support all the way to the plastic piece thats behind the headlights. Im amazed on how they're able to make a big piece w/o the hood hitting it. How much more for the B-pillars which doesnt have any difficult lines or curves.

I have been looking for a cooling panel for an S14 that goes all the way behind the headlights like that. Do they make one for a Kouki S14? If so, how much and where can I get it?

I spoke to Wayne on Saturday. He saw my cooling panel and wnated to know how much I paid. Then he mentioned the one pictured above. I "think" he said $160, but you might want to double check the site. Its cheaper than some of the other manufacturers, and I am sure its just as good in the quality department. Maybe we should try a group buy on these...maybe a combination of S13/14...???

WHat kind of cooling panel do you have? Phase2 sells the cooling panel around 175. I'm not dealing with phase 2, I'm dealing direclty from RENOVA(MSports distributor).

Anybody else intersted on the b-pillars?

nah....not enough interest.

To let you guys know, its going to be a replacement piece not an overlay or sticker(like the one I have now:D).

As for the s14 people, the cooling panel I posted above is available for both zenki and kouki.

I was told that Wayne of Phase2 is having a GB on it now.
