DAS Sport/ CDOC M3 front bumper.. finished! Pics!

[///M42 sport]

so only the hood and bumper are cf?

Yes, as will be the rest of the parts (except the mirrors, which are injection-molded plastic). The CF is finished with a gelcoat, not an exposed weave. An exposed weave is purely aesthetic and would nearly double (or more) the cost of the parts if they were produced that way.

I take it your going to make CF fenders and decklids too. If so will these bolt on to the original patterns? Also, since the grp buys for cf hoods and fenders are from $400-$600 does that mean that your pricing will be aprox. half that? Keep us posted, thanks.

There are no plans for CF fenders from DAS Sport, however, depending on cash inflows I may acquire a set from an alternate supplier for my M3.

Pricing has not been set on the hoods yet, but one thing is very clear in the CF world. That is, you get what you pay for. The DAS hood will be a FLAWLESS fit.. i have yet to see any of these VIS hoods, etc come close to fitting perfectly.

Nice. I assume there will be a matching bumper-grooveless rear bumper as well?

Absolutely. I proposed some pretty trick designs for the rear, which were well-received. I'll be talking with Colin in the next week to work out the final design. Like the front, it won't be a drastic derivation from stock, but will certainly stand out. In addition, the diffuser will add some flare and aggressiveness.

I doubt it simply because it would require a lot more engineering due to the impact bar being the bumper on earlier models. Demand is not as high, and people are not willing to pay the prices.. they would convert to an M3 bumper typically.
