That’s what I’m afraid of. Another company taking your money, waiting for weeks/months, false hopes “it’s here, shop is busy, just got bankrupt” shit like that but I’ll be optimistic

What other vendors can we reach out to? I spoke with my contact at RW Carbon and they can no longer get their hands on side skirt extensions - their vendor no longer produces them, so they arent an option.

Mode Carbon? But even with a group buy, itll be very expensive.

Thought about them too, but theyre also Mode Carbon pricing. Just not sure how many people are willing to pay those prices.

What type of look is everyone looking for? I can reach out to one of my friends, if he would be willing to make a set (as he is a composite fabricator, trained in France, currently based in Canada) at your price point, in pure CF in multiple weaves and see what he says ...
Some of his work (ignore the V shape of the weave, his client asked for that):

Looks awesome, I think it's worth a shot. Anyone else?

Impressive. I say let's go for it.

b4hand · 11-18-2017, 11:30 AM

I'm down. Maybe he can add something unique to them? Just thinking out loud.

M3Division · 11-18-2017, 12:23 PM

Im down as long as the fitment and quality is on point, brand name wont matter.

Oh dear god yes, give me a set of dry/matte carbon!

Off topic but I bought a set of used downforce e92 rear bumper side extensions in CF. Thought it would fit the e90 rear but the bolts don’t line up and the curvature of the bumper towards the end is higher on the e90.

Pic of the extension on the last e92 owner
I’ll put it up for sale after I can find someone who’d be willing to make a set for e90’s that I would either wrap in vinyl or paint.

JayyLebron · 11-19-2017, 11:41 PM

I'm cool with the guys over at carbon-addiction, though I have never used any of their products, they do reps. I believe they have side skirt extensions, maybe worth the e-mail if anyone has any experience with their products.

Mmm I don't know about their side skirts, but downforce and forcewerkz look like it has that flare that I like that follows the M3 skirt. Carbon addiction kind of looks flat with a curved line.

I do like their hamann style rear diffuser and Vorsteiner GTS-V Style Carbon Rear Diffuser

I just sent an email to them for rear diffuser group buy

Yeah they're diffusers do look pretty awesome. Big fan of their varis rep as well. If you need help with that group buy for their diffuser let me know.

Klambo · 11-20-2017, 06:59 AM

I'd definitely be in for either diffuser group buy. Keep me posted if you start one.

I tried to do business with them awhile back. Communication was difficult because they are in Australia, so it took twice as long to get all of my questions answered etc. After I placed an order, it took like 4 weeks or something for them to build my diffuser (I wanted it in 1x1 weave). From there, they accidentally shipped my diffuser to some other customer in NYC. They had to remake me another diffuser from scratch which was going to take another 4 weeks. I was not happy - I asked for an additional discount for their mistake, but they denied me. So I asked for a full refund. Took a few days to get my refund, but they were at least understanding.

Oh dang that sucks...I've never actually bought anything from them so I'm hoping they got their stuff together. The owner just messages me once in a while to try and get me to buy stuff of their site haha. I'll shoot him a message though and see what he says!

Yeah they message me on Instagram periodically. Thats how I initially heard of them and ended up purchasing from them.

b4hand · 11-20-2017, 01:53 PM

If carbon Addiction actually makes their stuff from scratch...that's pretty good. The fitment will probably be pretty good. I wonder if they can throw that varis style diffuser in with my order...

It was being shipped from their manufacturer in China - just like most of these vendors.
