What did you buy your Z4 this week?

M-Cast · 09-29-2016, 04:48 AM

Finally, after 6 months I finally got this from Varis. I would have expected a little bit better quality as it had a visible seam right down the center, so I sent it over and had them paint the M Stripes to cover it up.

M strips are a nice touch, looks really good!
Crazy that Varis considers that seam acceptable.

It's bad enough you have to wait about 6 months to receive items from them. My hood arrived and one of the corners was broke off, I am glad I went with the FRP hood and had my guy lay the carbon in the vents otherwise it would have been a total loss. I am still waiting for the front spoiler. If it was not for the limited parts availability for our cars, I don't know if I would do it again.

Their stuff is not cheap and when you get it, they give you five pages of flaws in the work as a disclaimer. As a side note, none of their carbon fiber products are clear coated.

Not as fancy as some of you guys, but just put these on.

Black grilles just installed and painted lower bumper with plastidip, and what you cant see is the replacement undertray.

Clear 3rd brake light to replace the broken red one, I think it looks SO much better

Strut tower brace, made a surprising difference to how the front end feels/tracks on twisty roads.

I have looked at the Ultra Racing strut brace numerous times but have been hesitant to pull the trigger on it.

It sounds like you are happy with it.

Yeah I'm pleased, especially for the money. The steering feels more 'planted' or accurate .. not exactly sure how to describe it, but there is a definite difference.

I got it from amazon of all places! They had the best price. Install was about 5 mins.

These showed up yesterday morning and had very little time to install it last night. Don't have any good pics yet, so this would have to do for now

Was a pleasant surprise to see these weighted about 5lbs each less than my stock wheel/tire combo.

Vanne · 10-12-2016, 01:51 PM

I LOVE IT !!! Looks AWESOME!!

Me too. I couldn't afford the FI or FI-R, so this "cheaper" version CI-R will have to suffice

Thanks, I have never thought of Amazon, this is helpful. I will look around for one.

Ahh okay, I get it now, you payed some local shop to add carbon to the vents, but the hood shipped from Varis as 100 percent frp.. bloody hell, glad that's cleared up, the guy from Varis must have thought I was smoking crack or something.. Lol..

Been driving around with CEL for almost 2 years due to O2 inefficiency after my Fabspeed header install, finally pulled the trigger on the EPIC tune.

Merlot is a great color on an E85 Z4 and is absolutely fetching when cleaned and polished. Yours looks very nice.
