Whats the best vendor on this site for Carbon Fiber?

aced0ut · 08-23-2011, 09:59 AM

title basically says it all looking for carbon fibre kidney grill, mirror caps, side gills and hood vent, all 1x1 weave. Wondering who the best supporting vendor would be to get all these pieces at a good price?

aced0ut · 08-23-2011, 10:36 AM

also any1 know why the kidney grill at bimmian is $311, the one at jlevi street work is 165$, and modbargians is $116 is there any difference in quality?

IND.

Don't cheap out or you'll just be kicking yourself, paying to ship stuff back for a refund.

I got the EAS Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps & Hood Vents

OEM fitment since its base is the OEM BMW parts

And matches better than the OEM Performance Parts since they decided to switch the weave to 2x2 smh

1x1 weave for consistency, the little details

I agree with you on consistency.

Questions:

1) Supposedly, these mirror caps are from the same vendor IND uses for their M5 style paint scheme. Have you had any issues with them (delamination, discoloring, etc.)?

2) Are those the OEM Performance splitters or are they Vorsteiner?

What, you guys forgot about us?
Been in the Carbon Fiber game since 04. Still got it

IND or EAS stay away from Bimmian for anything

Unless you are referring only to unnecessary carbon fiber "enhancements" added for the look of the cf, it has the bonus of reducing weight. Replace hood, trunk, bumpers, doors, and roof, and you lose a decent amount of weight. On that note... does anyone make fenders for the e9x m3?
