E30 Carbon fiber radiator covers

[stinkydriverx]

good idea bud!!! I might be picking one up in the future if you decide to keep making them.

So I sold 6 of these so far so I'll likely only make about 4 more of these. I picked up new supplies so the wait time shouldn't be so bad and the product should look better.

I'll take one without the cutout for top hose, 24V...

[kamotors]

Yeah that's fine I have 2 others that aren't getting the cut out also.

PM sent

the wait time to get it shipped out is around 4-5 days right now. But I keep in contact with the customers everyday letting them know how long its going to take.

my epoxy resin has about a 6 hour cure so there are periods of the day where all I can do is watch them dry.

Also I can paint these a textured flat black for no extra cost if you want it to look more OEM

ok so I got some new tools and now these come out out of the mold nice and glossy:)

I got 3 made today and will ship them ASAP, hope to make 3 more tomorrow.

Got mine, all good in terms of fitment/quality..just had some finishing issues (these are NOT the current batch, mine was the very first and this issue is now addressed) which we spoke about and he offered to refund, but i opted to just finish clean it up myself and clear it.


Throw on some clear and here's what you'll get (still need to wetsand and compound)

Dont want to confuse anyone, they are NOT shipped this polished...just showing how it COULD look with a bit of work.





Thanks again!

[kamotors]

making a good looking piece is very labor intensive but I'm putting extra effort in every piece now.
I'm shipping out 1 today and I still need to make 5 more:(

here some different stages.

[kamotors]

ok so I now have 4 made so I only need to make 2 more. I'm still working on getting a good finish for all of them, I'm trying some different techniques so bear with me I dont want to ship any that aren't looking really great.

[kamotors]

ok so I wasnt happy with the finish I was getting on the covers so I redid the 2 that were ready to ship.

here is how they look now, they are super glossy and in bright light the carbon fiber really shines and has that deep 3d look. the finish is about 98% flat but for those that are perfectionists you can take some 2000grit and wetsand it to a mirror shine.

Much better..!
