Carbon fiber fenders and door panels

Hey guys, so I got into contact with a shop (slick carbon) they manufacturer car parts in carbon fiber, many different pieces. I told them about our cars and how it's very hard to find carbon fiber or really any parts in the aftermarket business, and asked if they'll be willing to start making or take our cars in consideration to mold parts. They told me they're willing to do fenders and door panels as a start, and if things take shape they'll be willing to move on and make more parts. They'll be in contact with me in January as they're booked on other projects, but they were very interested. Just want to know who would be interested in carbon fenders and door panels, just to be able to give them an idea. They didn't mention anything on prices, lead time, etc. But when I go meet with them I'll ask and I'll be supplying my Z4M as a parts development example. This isn't guaranteed YET, but hopefully they do consider going all the way with it. I'll keep you guys informed next month. -Cheers!

I've been looking for a place that does wide body fender flares. IMO this guy's Z4MC's flares looks amazing.

I would be surprised if this will actually happen - the aftermarket support for our cars is relatively small for a reason. I think the better question would be to ask them how many they would need for this to be viable, then post up to see how close you can get.

Hopefully the fenders & 1/4's would be wider than stock

Look no further, but prepare your wallet (or bank account, for that matter):

$17,800 for the kit.
$24,800 for the kit w/ doors, hatch, & roof.

Edit:
While on the subject of fender flares (not trying to jack your thread Lev) check out the Liberty Walk fenders, NKB blister fenders, and some ebay over fenders. All varying prices (not sure if the NKB is still available or if they sold the manf. rights to Liberty Walk).

Hey guys! So after some research, I found a company that actually makes almost all parts of the Z4M body in carbon fiber. They have he Oem fitment and GTR option aswell. They also make carbon air boxes. I'm gonna contact them on pricing and availability to the US. I'll keep you guys informed. Here is the website to them (Carbon-goeke.de)

Who's the Company Lev? Karbonius? I can vouch for their quality of craftsmanship, but don't expect cheap parts/panels mate.

Company is Slick Carbon, but having already found a company that makes all carbon pieces and fact losing my car in a wreck =( I can't continue the quest to get the aftermarket industry to supply us with parts.

BMW is not a cheap car in service. Any item is not cheap.
