The JUBU Carbon engine-lid is ultra lightweight, but also pretty stiff (depending on the chosen variant) and stable, because it is made out of a mix of carbon and kevlar fibre (kevlar is also used for bullet-proof armor). 

Our focus for the product is to provide a functional and affordable, ultra-lightweight part. This is why we use the carbon-injection method for producing the engine-lid. Whith this specific method, little displacements of the fibres may occur in the final product - especially at beads and folds. Such displacements are only optical issues (if you want to see them as an issue) and do not effect the functionality in any way. If you want to reach out for highest optical standards, we recommend to paint this areas.

As standard, the product comes with a matte surface (straight out of the mold), but a coating with transparent, uv-resistant paint (matte or glossy finish) is available as an option.

The JUBU engine-lid replaces the OEM Lotus engine lid plug & play.

Benefits

• Significant reduction of weight
• Robust and safe (almost no splintering in case of damage due to kevlar fibres)
• Sporty look

Details

• Very lightweight (option "Motorsport": 2550g, option "Street": 3590g; Lotus OEM (GFK): 8750g). If you go with the motorsport-variant (as little weight as technical possible), we use a very thin layer for the engine-lid. Depending on your speed and the condition of the road, the motorsport-variant may vibrate or flutter a little bit. If you use your car mainly for sporty driving on roads, we recommend our street-variant which is stiffer because it is made of more/thicker CFK-Layers (but it is also a little bit heavier).
• Usable as visible carbon part in medium optical quality (minimal visible displacements of the carbon layers may occur)
• Matte, untreated finish (premium matte or glossy finisch with transparent, uv-resistant paint possible - please see "Options")
• Plug & Play replacement for OEM engine-lid

Fits for

• Exige S2

Options

• Finish: matte (untreated, fresh of the mold), premium matte painted (UV-resistant transparent paint, app. 500g additional weight) or premium glossy painted (UV-resistant transparent paint, app. 500g additional weight)
• Variant: "Motorsport" (as light as technically possible, may wobble) or "Street" (stiffer, thicker carbon layer, higher weight)

• Black mesh for cooling openings (Lotus OEM): optional for self-installation or pre-mounted

NOTE: The part is handbuilt by using the vakuum-injection method. Minimal optical visible displacements of the carbon layers may occur.

NOTE: Depending on the chosen variant, the weight of the engine-lid may vary. If you choose an additional finish with matte or glossy paint, this will add app. 500g in weight.
