RSC C8 Front Intake Vents for Corvette C8

All RSC Carbon Fiber is 100% Pre-Impregnated Carbon Fiber.  No other materials such as Fiberglass or CFRP are utilized in our products.

Pre-Impregnated Carbon Fiber is the strongest, lightest, highest quality Carbon Fiber available for these parts.

Please see our "What is Pre-Impregnated Carbon Fiber & why is it better?" FAQ for more information.

Pre-Impregnated Carbon Fiber is a type of Carbon Fiber fabric which is pre-impregnated with resin during the manufacturing process.  This creates a perfect resin distribution throughout the material.

If you can imagine carbon fiber as a chain; the weakest link of the chain will always fail first. With wet-layup methods or "Resin Infusion" a piece of dry carbon fiber cloth is laid in a mold and the resin is either painted onto the cloth, or sucked into the material by using a vacuum.  The issue with these inferior methods is the inconsistency in the resin distribution and tendency to have weak points which tend to fail. 

With Pre-Impregnated Carbon Fiber, you get a much stronger part due to the lack of those weak links. In addition to the strength, you also achieve a much more beautiful weave pattern which we all love.  Because the material is already impregnated with resin, it does not suffer from the distortion created by the resin infusion. Another benefit is weight, because the resin is evenly distributed by a complex manufacturing process. Only the perfect amount of Epoxy resin is used which results in less weight & more strength.

Finally, all of our parts are cured using state-of-the-art Autoclaves, enhancing the strength and shape of the part and finish quality.
