    I have looked into what it would take to build a CF manifold. It doesnt seem too terrible but I would want to have the time and skill to make the initial materials purchase worthwhile.

    I really want a CF hood. Removing weight from the front of the car is tricky.

      Oh, and you know what should be stupid-easy and would probably sell nicely are some rear-seat delete panels.

      It could be as simple as 2 panels with mounting holes, or it could be 2 panels joined together with a fabric hinge and some light thin insulating material on the bottomside.

      Low gloss on those.

          No gloss at all. Glare sucks

                  I like the jet fuel and orange the best!

                  I will probably order some stuff to get started soon, don't know what I will make first...

                    CF hoods rarely ever match up perfectly. And I think they would look terrible on a BMW. =\

                      New question, would you rather have it look pretty close to CF for non structural pieces and be inexpensive or rather have it be real CF and a bit more pricey .

                      Example

                      Posted Image

                      Real CF is on the right.

                      Just a thought.

                        It really depends on what it is. For trim pieces I'd say go with fake. But faking the funk= lame.

                          If I ever had a CF hood I would paint it body color. I am not the type to put fake CF on my car.

                            I wouldn't put a CF hood on an E30 unless it was heavily tracked... Just my thoughts, but I agree on painting it the body color.

                              On a bike forum I attend regularly (thumpertalk), there is a guy who makes some really cool stuff out of CF. He pretty much took shit off his bike, made replacement CF parts (for fun?) and then posts ridiculously in depth articles about it.

                              sorry for those without the facespace or mybooks
