Carbon Fiber pieces from Tekarbon finally in...

Z4-VILLA · 05-24-2012, 01:37 AM

I have just received the word that my parts are ready. It was a very long wait but well worth from what Im seeing. :-)

Tekarbon will be seeing PLENTY of my business in the near future.

The brake air ducts I have to say Were my idea independently I am very pleased that my intent was matched to form....and as for function...well at this point who the hell cares lol

Starscream · 05-24-2012, 06:35 AM

VERY nice,

like that a lot

Z4-VILLA · 05-24-2012, 06:47 AM

the brake ducts were impossible to fathom in my head but. ...yep. its there alright :-)

Z4-VILLA · 05-24-2012, 06:52 AM

i knew how they needed to look but the carbon process just didn't seem feasible. ...i was wrong.

Im waiting for the pun and all the other pleasantries. ..ie jet hot headers lol.

im sure some self-predicating "Richard" will have some quip to this. lol.

enjoy the photos!

I'd like to see those brake ducts installed to see how the fitment is. They look sweet!

v3.2mc · 05-24-2012, 08:35 AM

i was planning the same thing for my ducts! not through tekarbon though... i thought they might be too expensive.

thanks for being the test on this... i'm sure they'll look great!

sabbanick · 05-24-2012, 09:22 AM

How are they any different then OEM? ... Us M cars need a ducting with backing plates solution for our cars.

TexasZed4MC · 05-24-2012, 09:50 AM

Very Impressive! I'd like to see cost. but the brake ducts and steering wheel parts are high on my list

ZStig · 05-24-2012, 10:18 AM

the brake ducts look just like OEM designs to me. I like almost all of the trim pieces. Hopefully this isn't where your supercharger money went!

ZStig · 05-24-2012, 10:19 AM

what are these pieces? I can't figure it out

Z4-VILLA · 05-24-2012, 10:49 AM

yup those are the backing plates in question and there are more plans here.... the whole revreal is not complete

ZStig · 05-24-2012, 10:51 AM

Why would you pay to have a piece covered that you should remove anyway?

pokeybritches · 05-24-2012, 10:59 AM

Sun visors?
Edit: just saw that they are backing plates.

Was this a one-off job, or are they going to appear on the website? How much did all of it cost?

you just never know....better to have and not need in this case.

Z4-VILLA · 05-24-2012, 11:05 AM

these items were never on the website, they are in fact one off. for pricing you must go through Eric :-)

ZStig · 05-24-2012, 11:26 AM

Twisted Six · 05-24-2012, 12:08 PM

Radar....these are all just CF overlay on OEM bits right ?

Finnegan · 05-24-2012, 12:10 PM

Great looking pieces, can't wait to see them installed.

Z4-VILLA · 05-24-2012, 12:57 PM

correct. everything u see here is in fact OEM. this way it insures proper fitting.

Shota15 · 05-24-2012, 01:26 PM
