How Do Front Bumper Air Ducts Improve Cooling and Efficiency?
Front bumper air ducts channel airflow directly to intercoolers and radiators, reducing heat soak and sustaining engine power. VB Carbon’s carbon fiber ducts are lightweight yet rigid, promoting faster heat dissipation and more stable performance under spirited driving or track conditions. Their design minimizes front-end turbulence and enhances overall aerodynamic efficiency.
What Materials Make a High-Performance Front Bumper Air Duct?
High-performance ducts are made from carbon fiber composites with heat- and impact-resistant resins. VB Carbon uses dry carbon overlays combined with high-temperature resins, offering a strong, lightweight solution that resists UV exposure and maintains a showroom-quality finish for both under-hood and visible applications.
Which Vehicles Benefit Most from Carbon Fiber Front Ducts?
Turbocharged and high-performance cars gain the most from carbon fiber front ducts. VB Carbon provides model-specific ducts for BMW, Audi, Tesla, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota A90 Supra, Lotus, and more. Each duct is engineered for precise fitment, optimized airflow, and enhanced cooling without compromising aesthetics.
