Carbon fiber parts for your E30

[kamotors]

to make my gurney flap I used the actual spoiler as a sort of mold. I just laid it in the middle of the spoiler to get the correct curve in all dimension/directions and then slid it up the spoiler whenit dried to create the gurney flap. the gurney flap is rock solid at 120mph with minimal vibration, before when it was only 2 layers around 70mph it would start folding back.


So this week I'm going to make some more of those carbon fiber radiator covers. they will be 100% carbon fiber with no ABS plastic backing like mine has. I'm going to use my current one to make a mold. I cant guarantee a price but I have better ways of producing it now so it shouldnt cost more than about $60.


also I'm going to make a rear speaker shelf out of carbon fiber, it wont have seat belt holes or speaker holes but they could be easily added.

And the point of this post is??? He is making parts that others do not make. We know there are companies that make carbon fiber parts for the e30, if that is the point you are trying to make.

I built this flap last night, its 3 layers of CF with some rubber trim.

I'd take one, I'd have to measure my zender for you though...

I think the brake duct/fog light delete with a central duct would be pretty awesome.
Also, mo'fucking cupholders.

Some decently fitting door cards like this:

^ This sh*t right here....

Door cards and center console with cup holders is best idea.

I like the Idea of the door cards, but don’t care for the flat look of them.
Hoods and trunk for me would have be oem style that bolt to factory hinges and function like factory. That though is a whole lot more complicated though to make.
CF Valve cover to replace the oem one, but not sure of the feasibility of that with the heat and If there would be much weight savings.
The consoles with integrated cup holders would be a plus.
Over all I never was a big fan of the CF look. The idea of its strength vs. weight I like, but it needs a finish other than the CF look. Especailly on large pieces that show.

soo I finally got some more CF, I'll see what I can come up with.
