JA AirScoops (Not For Sale)

[Rakker]

Here's a pair in black with white tips that I made for a guy on here.

Nice color car you have - same as mine

Not sure if I'm digging the red-on-black, though.. Can you get material that looks more or less like our ceramic silver? I'm thinking something color-matched would look nearly OEM..

 

[djerickd]

All black looks OEM

I have ceramic silver as well. I have this color that's somewhat close.

Interesting.. Will definitely have to think about that.. I don't mean to be a pain, and I'm still 50-50, so this isn't a guaranteed sale, so please don't make this a priority.

If you do have a minute to hold it up to the car though, so I could see how the 2 colors match, that would be cool.. Or if you can think of some other color that would look good with our color. I have black wheels, and black and silver (fake chrome) DIY intakes, so if anything, I'm going for a mono-chromatic, kinda-OEM-like look. Not sure if that makes any sense. For example, I could see a gloss black hood (except for the heat here in CA!), but I'm kind of avoiding red as a trim/accent color - did a bit of that with my last car (black Subaru wagon), going for something different this time.

Depends, IMHO. At one point, chrome bumpers were OEM. Then, black bumpers (maybe with a fake chrome strip). Now, body-colored bumpers are OEM on most cars.

Yeah definitely, I do that when I get home in about an hour. I may just print a set with that color and put them on mine and post some pics. If you don't like them I'll just keep them on mine. If you see a color elsewhere that you just let me know.

I think I'm going to go get another printer on my way home so I can get these out quicker and work on some other Stinger projects/ newer versions of the snorkels.

I think this is pretty close to the ceramic silver. Here are a couple of pics in florescent and sun light. I'll still print a set with this color and put them on as soon as I get a chance.

 

[turboAWD]

That does look pretty good. Definitely in for more pics!

 

[Rakker]

Got the new printer set up. Just need to calibrate it and I'll be printing twice as fast

Wow, I thought it was bad that the 1st hexagon on the edges if the stock grille was filled in, but yours are filled in like 4 deep. If it matters enough to you, the grille looks to be removable from the bezel, you can probably swap it for an open one if you can't cut it well.

The stock shroud extends just out to that 1st hexagon, is the GTS shroud smaller?

I


I know the differences now. The grille with the cruise control radar has more open spaces on the outsides vs the ones with the base level grille with no radar for the cruise control..

Very nice!!!
How can I order a pair of black ones with red tips?
What's your current turnaround time?

Thank you, I'll send you a PM. Turn around time depends how many I have in the queue. Right now I can have them shipped to you next Tuesday morning (assuming there are no issues).

@turboAWD here is a newer design that I'm working on printed in that color. Once the other one gets finished I'll take some pictures with the front on.

 

[ecapox]

Do these still require cutting things?

I put mine on and cut nothing. You just have to remove or cut, your choice, a plastic shroud. The first pic is old but it shows the piece you need to remove.

Nice, I have an ender 3 printer as well. Looks good

 

[turboAWD]

Thanks - missed the earlier updates from some reason.. And I guess I'm being dense - not having done any 3d printing and such - I was thinking the whole body could be done with the gray, not just the trim. But that's on me. Sorry about that..

Yeah I could do the whole thing grey if you want lol. But honestly i think they look better with just the tip a different color and the rest black.

I received mine from Rakker a few days ago. Super easy to get the bumper off and install these. Fit nearly perfect. I decided to go all black for a hidden look. This is feeding into the factory airbox with K&N filters. Thanks Rakker!
