Build Log — COVEX Carbon LLC

Where it starts.

Covex is new. The first parts out of the shop are being made for a customer's C8 Corvette Z06 — a set of side intake boomerangs, tooled and fitted to that specific car.

The build is in progress. Photos go up as the work happens rather than after the fact, so this page will fill in as the part comes together.

Side Intake Boomerangs

C8 Corvette Z06 · 2×2 Twill · Finish TBC

The boomerangs sit right behind the door, at eye level, on a car people already walk around to look at. That makes them an unforgiving first part — the curve has to follow the intake opening exactly, and the weave has to stay straight through a shape that bends in two directions at once. The plan is to take the shape off the customer's car, build a mold from it, and lay the pair up in 2×2 twill with the tabs built in, so they clip into the factory slots the way the originals do — not glued on over the top of them.
