Awesome, I'll be in the market for CF interior for E36 in the very near future. That engine and fuel rail cover looks great too!

if the interior trim is full carbon fiber, how will fitment be? i know that was an issue with e46 interior trim in carbon fiber, thats why people switched to using the oem parts

If you want to donate your S50 cover to "science" we can probably make a batch for you:)

Sorry Matt, you know I'd love to help ya but I don't have an M50 valve cover since I have an S52 motor but with an M50 manifold. I am looking forward to that product though.

Looks like the same one I got from Bimmerworld a year ago. Mine turned green after a few heat cycles. :(

Any warranty on yours?

We are using 3 plys of material (making it really strong) ATLEAST 50% weight reduction.

No use of Gel coat (this is what makes it turn yellow/green)

No overlay, which means no "wet" process (laying up the material on top of a product then vacumm sealing and drying it). Wet tends to be very weak in comparison.

We will bake it, resins get stronger this way. In the future we are going to have a video - one baked, the other wet - we'll put them on the floor and jump on them, YES JUMP on them... and you'll see which one puts up with the pounding. :D

We'll figure out warranty on it once we see it and use it ourselves. Right now, the sample piece has been on the car for 3 weeks, in relatively intense driving conditions where it's getting blasted with heat and it's none the worse for wear underneath where you can't see anything or on top - even without the clear coat.

that carbon fiber interior trim would be sweet.....whats the price on that for E36 ....also is the carbon fiber blank meaning it has nothing writen on it as far as the fuel rail cover and valve cover cladding go?

Sounds sweet. Any pics of the fuel rail cover? Is it "curved" to match the look of the valve cover? And will it fit the M50 intake manifold?

Matt,

figure out a nicer alternative to the mounting hardware and I'll buy a set (when you start doing the M50 fuel rail cover).

Matt, did you get an S50 cover for "science" yet? If you are really desperate for one I can go pull it off my car that is in storage.

Just checked Turners website and they have one for $25 bucks I'll go splitizes with you.

You guys need to fab up a rear spoiler for an M coupe/Z3 coupe. I am sure I would buy one, and you would sell as many as you could make.

This is exactly why we're not putting them on the site.
Guy proves he can make good quality, but cannot prove to make it over and over again yet, nor can he deliver on time.

Will know more on Sunday.

This is what I was told, it's not good news.

We can do a MAXIMUM of 15 units by next Friday. After that, it's usually a 1 week wait PER order until full production ramps up.

So, here's the bottom line:
