3dCarbon

3dCarbon Urethane and Carbon Fiber Body Kits, Ground Effects, Spoilers, Wings, and Accessories.

 

There are a handful of aftermarket automotive body kit companies and designers that can transcend generations with their product designs. Ernie Bunnell and Billy Longfellow are two of those pioneers who started building their own urethane, carbon fiber and fiberglass products under the Wings West brand in 1992, and carried their ideas through the many trends and fads, and sustained to bring you 3dCarbon.  

3dCarbon is the next evolution in aftermarket accessories. Utilizing the decades of aerodynamic design experience, 3dCarbon has quickly established themselves as a leader in design and manufacturing of automotive restyling products and accessories.

The 3dCarbon manufacturing process utilizes high pressure urethane molding to achieve the design detail and elevated engineering specifications not found with other typical restyling parts. As a result of this proprietary process 3dCarbon has also partnered with several OEM’s, including Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Toyota, and Scion to develop licensed accessories and styling kits that have been sold through OE branded dealerships nationwide.

The 2004 debut of the Boy Racer® Ford Mustang design, was awarded with numerous accolades and awards, such as Best of Show at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Since then, there have been four (4) successors to the Boy Racer crown for multiple platforms including the late model S550 chassis. Accesspeed can confirm that 3dCarbon has continued to design and manufacture award-winning designs for a wide variety of vehicles including compact, sub-compact, and SUV designs.

Accesspeed is proud to offer 3dCarbon products to our customers. With our low price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Do aftermarket high performance air filters add horsepower and torque compared to stock?

Yes, aftermarket performance air filters can increase your horsepower and torque. If you are upgrading from a brand-new OEM factory filter, you may notice a slight difference, but the true results are typically discovered on the dyno or the racetrack. At the same time, your engine will enjoy increased fuel efficiency, but only if you can keep your throttle foot away from the floor board.
