Carbon fiber parts for your E30

[kamotors]

Is it functional though, or is it one that is supposed to be permanently sealed in? There's plenty of delete plates, but few that are actually functional sunroofs. It has to be able to mount and fit like OEM.

don't see why I cant make it functional, its all a matter of attaching it like stock. Attaching brackets is easy and drilling holes is even easier. It would look like it needs to be made like a hood or trunk with the use of 2 skins so it has all the OEM ridges and mounts

I have a spare sunroof laying here if you wish to try

A hardtop for the convertible. Big piece, so it's difficult to make, but I guarantee you'll get some orders :)

VIS makes one for $425, I'm not sure about the fit and finish though.

So much yum in this thread.

Finished my first one and already sold it:)

hardware-NOTE-my e30 already had holes for the bolts to fit into on the OEM radiator mount, the just need to be enlarged really quick with a drill bit takes about 15minutes for complete install. other models may be solid and need a new holes drilled. if you look at your radiator mount you'll see how easy the install it.


and final version

here is what you get with the $70 shipped price.


and here's how to install the hardware

I would buy one...but it would hide my Mishimoto rad. Thanks for offering something new to us! Let me know when you make door cards though ;) Need a set formed for the 4 door with door pulls.

I don't have any great ideas that haven't been mentioned, just wanted to say you're the man for giving back.

ok so I got my first batch of carbon fiber radiator covers made and I'm shipping one out today. I've wetsanded them down w/ 1000grit and then polished and waxed them. If they are still not shiny enough you an use some lacquer clear coat or just use armor all before a car show. I feel that its shiny and smooth enough but I cant speak for others.

i would pay for a set of cf doors (not cards) and cf roof like the e60 m5, if fitment is good. not joking.
