I purchased them back in 2012 from a company called Creative Engine Components which specialized in chrome-plated accessories. I also bought the hood strut covers from them as well. Unfortunately, I don't think they are in business any longer.

Well I looked thru my receipts and I don't have one for those covers. So I'm 100% sure I bought them on this site in the for sale section used. Sorry I don't have any info for you about them. There's no name or I.D. plate on them either. I also looked on line and didn't see anything other then hydro-carbon stuff. Those do look good but not real carbon. The real carbon stuff I saw was for the C6's.

It's been about 10 years but I'm pretty sure I found it on the auction site. Not sure if anyone makes them in real carbon anymore as I haven't seen them in a while, but RPI Designs has the painted kind I think.

The carbon fiber battery cover I purchased from a forum member. I am still searching for the right alternator cover. The fluid reservoir caps are carbon fiber and chrome also.
How long ago did you buy the carbon from RK Sport?

I've been looking for a carbon brake booster cover for a while.
