Helion Carbon Fiber brake ducts update- Finished pics added now

Todd at Helion just sent me a couple pics of the CF brake ducts he was fabbing up, using my old CF ducts for my 996TT brakes on my car. Looks like they're almost ready to trial fit. As the pics show, the parts are made, just need to be trimmed and clear coated to be complete.

Can't wait to get them and bolt them on the car

Is that a shot across the bow because his car isn't mobile yet? Admittedly neither is mine.....

Just being neighborly - figured I would iron out the kinks - so when he (Ed in this case) got his car on the road he'd be ready to roll hard...

First pair complete

Todd got the first 2 pairs done today, here's the pics. Clearcoated and ready to be buffed to a nice finish.

He's trying to determine the pricing for these ducts. I think I'd paid 200 or 225 for the dcam cf ducts several years ago and I know the ones from Helion are much more robust. Is $250 for a pair in the right ballpark for him to ask?

One more pic, parts ready to ship. As soon as I get them I'll bolt them on and share a final pic.
