I found an online vendor with good prices on carbon fiber accessories. (RW Carbon). I felt better after viewing their website and actually speaking with them on the phone than just ordering a dropship from mainland China etc. They're in Pomona so I drove up there and picked up a rear spoiler, and mirror caps. The fellas at the BMW dealership thought they lookd fantastic as did I and they installed perfectly. I would recommend them to anyone including my son who just bought an M235i. Although I'm going to stick with my front splitter BMW original part, I am going to get the rear diffuser from them as soon as it's available. I've been told it will be available soon

Looks great! Your planned mods would make your car look sinister especially on AW.

I have the CF caps from RW too, and as good as they look initially, my detailer polished them and applied some Opti Gloss-Coat when he was doing the rest of my car, and they look twice as good after. I'd highly recommend y'all give them a similar treatment for best results--makes a big difference, they pop so much more and the finish becomes crystal clear.

How do you like the spoiler? Is the weave even throughout? It is tough to tell in all the pictures on their website and forum members pictures. Thanks

The quality is good, The weave is straight. It's something that I felt more comfortable about RW is that they were reachable by phone and with me living in so cal, by car. They stand by their products and qc their inventory prior to sale.

Fitted RW Carbon caps today, they look good.
Fitment is acceptable if not 100%.

Their front lip looks nice as well.

Any idea when the rear diffuser will be available? The lip spoiler says mid April.

F22 lips will be here early next week, but there is no ETA on diffusers yet. I would say 2-3 months still.

The mirror caps for the price is good but can't say it fits "perfectly" at all. It's a larger cap than OEM so it'll never be a perfect fit.

I did have several problems with my order. Ordered 2 sets, both had problems. However good service by the team. They tried their hardest to solve the problem

I ordered two sets... One for me and one for my mate's m135i

One set had a ripple/dent and the other set had scratches under the clear coat

Rw admitted it was poor quality control. And they sent another set straight away which was much better.

So their service was immaculate.

Just saying that these mirrors are thicker than OEM so it sticks out a little
