Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do vented carbon hoods help Renesis heat management?

Yes—functional vents reduce under‑hood pressure and heat‑soak, improving radiator efficiency and extending ignition component life in hot climates.

How do I protect carbon lips and diffusers on a daily RX‑8?

Use UV‑stable clear, ceramic coat or PPF, hand wash, and seal exposed edges to prevent moisture intrusion and yellowing.

Will a carbon splitter scrape on lowered cars?

Choose multi‑layer layups with skid plates and compliant mounts. Maintain sensible ride height and approach angles to minimize scraping.
