FINISHED PICS OF E90 CARBON FIBER BLACK TRIM PIECES

Just finished up a set of e90 carbon fiber trim pieces and wanted to post them up. I have done many e46 carbon trim sets but these where twice as big and twice as long. Very difficult to do but looked great when finished.

Looks great! Great job

rbtamms · 10-07-2013, 11:48 AM

You have good skills bro...If I have the same skills, I prefer to do that rather than wrapping...

mic_e92 · 10-07-2013, 12:04 PM

Yeah I second that how much

Duck360198 · 10-07-2013, 12:18 PM

Wow, gorgeous! This sure beats paying the crazy amount of money for OEM CF trim in my opinion.

How much would you charge to do this to my trim and where in the Midwest are you located?

Hartge · 10-07-2013, 02:22 PM

love them !

e46silverride · 10-07-2013, 02:26 PM

Thank you and I am going to post up a build thread on the parts so you can see the process. I will include all materials and places to purchase them. For anyone who hasn't worked with carbon fiber I will warn you that these are very difficult to do. I would start with some scrap pieces and work your way up to trim pieces. The worst part about carbon fiber is you cant mess up or you have to scrap the part and start all over.

That is really just a wrap over plastic I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't real kevlar.

Amazing work!

secretsquirrel · 10-16-2013, 08:49 AM

Nice work! Subscribed. I would really like to know how to do this.

Thanks guys and I have been down for awhile due to health issues. I will start up a new thread with a build of some of the carbon pieces I have done. I will be honest carbon fiber is one of the hardest things I have had to learn. It is a very tedious and step based procedure with no room for error. I will post up the thread soon. thanks again

Hartge · 07-15-2014, 09:35 AM

finally got me some of these,

Deluxx3 · 07-15-2014, 12:55 PM

It's glossy?
Call me an idiot but I didn't know they make glossy carbon wrap

Wow looks fantastic.
Where did you buy it???

Eat.Sleep.Race · 07-15-2014, 01:04 PM

That's cause it's not a wrap, it's a true carbon fiber fabric that's bonded to the parts with resin, then the resin is built up and sanded smooth.
