Default Where do I find the Blitz Turbo Air Freshener?

So one thing that came out of one of the most recent turbo IS350/250 threads, was the appearance of the air freshener.




This is apparently a Blitz Turbo Air Freshener:



That I cannot for the life of me find on Google/Google Shopping/Ebay! Anyone know where I can buy one of these?!

Maybe a small aftermarket car shop.

I'd be in for a group buy!!

In for for a twin turbo setup.


*inhales* Ohh your car smells good. What's that scent?
That's the smell of turbo baby. *vroom*


Ok back to work.

Hey everyone (that's still interested and reading this thread). Since I found that you can't buy this product anymore, I will be making my own version! Please stay tuned and give me a few weeks to get a first batch out.

Count me in. Will you post this on the classifieds once it's complete, and what's going to be the price for each one.

Will do. I'm actually finalizing the plastic design first, and will include a piece mealed air freshener element, mainly due to the fact that this is literally the first version that I'm prototyping.

I'm still in the phase of adjusting the clip size and plastic thickness. As for pricing, that's TBD, due to the size of the first batch (~10 - 20), it will be more expensive than if I bought it in bulk.

Stay tuned!

Got the first prototypes out. Will be working on strengthening the clip, and then finding some way to manufacture it for cheaper. Currently, it's priced at around $35 for one (due to its limited quantity, and individual manufacturing).

If a sticker = +10hp, this has gotta be worth at least +50hp!

Seriously though, good job. Very unique.

The air flow design of the turbo snail allows it to actually blow through a freshener element. Admittedly, it isn't the most efficient air pass-through design, but it's a novelty item for sure.

Good job nonetheless. What smell did you incorporate into the air freshener?

Right now I'm cutting these up manually. The dimensions fit extremely well - just enough to fit it in, but also enough room for air flow to pass on top of it.

With a good tune, you might be able to get even more.
