GI: Custom made, carbon fiber body work

[InNeedOfBoost]

Ah ok, I'll have to look into the sunroof thing then.

Not a bad idea on the M3 underside...we'll see if we can factor that into the diffuser

Yea, if the splitter goes back that far...it may not work with a skid plate.

He's aiming to have his diffuser done in the next couple of weeks...once its done and on his car, I'll post up some pics so you guys can see his quality of work and fitment.

So what is the benefit of the rear diffuser?

They are like truck nutz, but for stancebros

[InNeedOfBoost]

CF material is being ordered now...should have his diffuser done soon!

We're putting the E30 diffuser on hold till we get a little more want for one.

BUT, we are making a mold using my OE sunroof panel. I'll update as we go

[berlow94]

Definitely in for a CF functioning sunroof! As long as its cheaper then the VAC one ill buy it!

[oliver.r]

VAC panel is a plug and non functional

[Bearmw]

I would be interested in a functional (locking) and decent fitting trunk lid.

[berlow94]

VAC also makes a functional CF sunroof

[InNeedOfBoost]

This CF panel will be functional so you can still open it. Cost will be WAY less the the VAC one. I think that one retails at $600. Expect $400 or less.

Cody is wanting to do the trunk too...if all goes well with his diffuser, he'll be making things left and right!

Pics from tonight's progress, laid down 3 layers of fiberglass and resin on the steel plug for the mold. CF material should be in Friday then we'll start on his and start working on the sunroof over the weekend. We figured out our plan on the seal too since people were saying you had to account for seal size. We're going mold it without the seal and make a new seal at the shop since a brand new one runs $85! Once we get the seal made and test it on my car, we'll sell it WITH a new seal.

Steel plug after a lot of sanding, primer and a layer of releasing wax


Plug again, this time with the releasing spray on it


Cody and I (I'm in the red shirt) applying the 1st layer of fiberglass sheeting and resin


Small patches of fiberglass for the corners, vertical flat areas and any places we may have missed


After about 2 laters



3 layers so far, forgot to take a finished shot when we were done...it was getting late.



More updates to come!

What would the cost be for just a straight sunroof plug. I stripped the sunroof cassette so opening it isn't an option.

[InNeedOfBoost]

I'll talk to him about it. We're using mine as a mold...so we would need to make another slightly bigger to stay in place

[FLG]

Looks great.

Could original probably add a little overhang to the cassette you have and drill some holes in it then just screw it into the roof. Just a thought

if you could make a e36 ltw front splitter at a reasonable price I WILL BUY IT
pm if possible

[InNeedOfBoost]

The splitters are next...I want one for the IS lip, but I need to get a new one 1st.

LTW one looks simple enough...just need to get some measurements

i hope you find one to measure, theyre kinda rare, theres a guy on ebay selling carbon replicas but he wants $400 witch is freaking ridiculous
