yay or nay for carbon fiber

[compcon]

I wouldn't do it, but I'm not a huge fan of carbon fiber on e30s most of the time. Especially when the fit is garbage.

If you buy a quality hood fit is not a problem. Once painted nobody will be able to tell the differnce between it and an oem part .Inexpensive wet layup hoods will generally fit poorly and are heavy.

Hey Keith, do you have some photos you could post up, maybe in the FS forum showing some of your e30 products? I think a fair and balanced volume of CF distributors should be on display at r3v.

[BeirBrennerE30]

compcon do you do custom parts? Hi res examples of products?

im getting a carbon fiber hood

[Farbin Kaiber]

Woot!!! For CF hood. Try to get one from Keith (comcon) They are $999.00 but worth it. Looks like you should be able to work it via a body shop with insurance (I hope) toss in a new set of euro grilles, smoked ellipsoids, and some euro bumper trim. You have a eason to do it now.





That is IF they don't total loss it out.

I just wonder if Ins. will total it out.

Probably will total it.

Half of the book repair time to fix that would be what the car is worth.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, that's the bummer. The fact that his car will end up a total loss. I see al least 2400.00 in estimate for repairs. Hope he can buy it back for 10-15%.

Well yes. it cost me $60 for everything including a rad support thanks to the local pick ur part. If your car is clean title, dont even claim it. just fix it your self and dont waste time with the hassles of the insurance company.

Classicr3v. Please post pics of the repairs so the OP knows what $60.00 at a PnP will do. Also, was not yours the e30 that has the front end replaced with an ungodly fiberglass itteration of a bumbner?

[bmw325csi]

^ well my current car is the "ungodly kitted" car.
My first car was an 88 seta and i went under a truck. I got the rad support for $6, the hood was $12, the fender was $8, the valence was $16 and a bunch of misc stuff.
Dont get me wrong you still have to paint it and shit but it helped that i had a body shop at my disposal at the time so i did all the work myself.
