carbon fiber covers for bottom bumper

Hey All,

I'm trying to locate these carbon fiber lower body kit covers from a reputable store, IE.. not Ebay. Anyone have them or bought them somewhere?

Thanks!

a few places seem to sell when i put it into ebay...not a clue on quality as i have the BMW M diffuser on mine, think these similar in that they stick on and use one of the existing screws underneath too.

They are all the same quality as ebay.
Don't fool yourself its all the same. Its a CF plastic material that is easily bendable.

Use 3m VHB tape to stick um on, you'll be fine.

Bryan,

Your last photo is the exact look I'm looking for.(contrast).. I was debating on the reflectors also being clear or smoke too, but I'm definitely going smoke now... it looks great! and Ill be ordering the CF bottom pieces.

mine are CF wrapped reflectors.


Buy the material on ebay or wherever. Stick it directly onto the reflectors.

Use a card or license to flatten it our, than use the edge to make the ident around your reflector.

Than use a sharp knife or xacto to cut.

Than use the card or license again to fold the edges behind the reflector. Should take 2 mins per side. You can do the same with rear ones.

cheers!

I just installed these on mine. I went with the local body shop and a strong epoxy/tape combo. I don't want them going anywhere

I'm gonna do the smoke reflectors I think because I still want them to shine if light hits it from someone coming from side so they can see me. Although your idea is rather intriguing!

Yeah... I was gonna paint them but in my own personal opinion, the reflectors help with someone approaching from the side on a dark or foggy night. We have some bad drivers in NJ :/ I can always change it up later to painted if I'm feeling the need for a change
