Carbon fiber parts for your E30

[B-well]

I agree, carbon fiber is so widely mis-used. Even with hoods and such, they spray half a gallon (4lbs.) of clear coat on them. Look at the F-40, almost dry lay-up with minimal paint/clear. It looks rough.

EXACTLY. look at carbon uses in the racing community and you will be discusted in the appearance, but at the same time astonished with the weight savings

Whatever you make, make sure it actually has some real weight shaving benefits.

SO I made a quick ABS plastic radiator cover what do you guys think? is it worth making out of CF, its just a cosmetic piece..

Cup holder! I still have to wedge my beer between the pass. seat and center console.

I'm guilty of the. Or just try to saddle it in my crotch to no avail

How much would a pair of those fog blanks run me?

not sure, that was a one off I made so don't even have a template for it. they mount using the bottom 2 holes.

yeah the carbon fiber radiator "shroud" is very doable. lots of the subaru guys use them.


splitter is the easiest and I've already made a couple ABS ones as prototypes and practice to get something efficient and strong.

cf wheels, cf tail lights, cf convertible top, cf suspension, cf fucking cheese graters

[Acehye559]

Id buy a cf mtech1 style spoiler, door handles, splitter, sideviee mirrors, the vents by the windshield wiper, etc.

Carbon fiber gauge cluster would be nice. So, I can fill my trunk with more recyclable beer cans on a scrap yard run.

[Raxe]

Front splitter would be cool.

"Dress-up" items such as a valve cover cover are just rice that will actually be adding weight.
