I'd go for something higher temp than acrylics. The temperature of my airbox exceeds 50ºC and is painful to the touch.

I don't give rep to ppl who ask for it. :D

if ur air box is gonna reach that high in temp then i suggest you just drop by ur nearest clark rubber & buy some low heat conducting rubber,
measure it out cut and bobs ur uncle :thumbsup:

Won't really fit the sides of my airbox because of the tight clearances. I used 1mm aluminium LOL.

check your usercp :)

it should fit fine, make it a snug fit or u can always get thinner rubber as long as u got somthing to keep the heat away from the aluminum u should be fine.
trust me, if theres a will theres away =P

Where can you get this carbon fibre film from?

go back and read the post and u'll find out where

Be nice RMN15N, u can get if from Autobarn @ $39.99 (think how badly you want it b4 you get it :p)

Thanx for the pics by the way man, i'll see if i can redesign my side piece to resemble yours somewhat, or if i can't i'll just fold it over above the clutch line and tuck it in below the filter. And why don't you carbonise the side piece so it maches with the top one???

PS my box gets hot too, any ideas..... i was thinking of ditching the headlight when i'm out on the track, but for normal driving i haven't got any ideas

nah we got it for 30 bux, honestly its not that nice..
btw the side has been carbonfibred, i did it yesterday
if you want to cool it down buy some low conductive rubber @ clark rubber
