The engine cover is the centerpiece of the engine bay. It takes up the most real estate and makes the biggest impact. An individual hired Common Fibers to create a stunning replica in carbon fiber.
It’s important that your turbo gets as much air as possible. For this reason, a cutout is often made in the bumper of the car to force additional air into the turbine while driving. To make this as clean as possible, it’s important to restrict the air from going anywhere but into the turbo.
This project was brought to our custom composites manufacturing shop in Seattle by an individual who wanted to add the first piece of custom carbon fiber to his Porsche. The requirements for this project were straight forward: a one-off, low cost replica of the OEM diffuser, in twill carbon without final finishing.
Zoox is a leading automotive company in the race to deliver an entirely autonomous vehicle to the robo-taxi market. They also happened to be Common Fibers' very first fabrication contract! This post details our process for making a set of fenders for one of Zoox's early prototypes.
