Haha nice! They should give you a discount for providing them customer installed pics... and seeing how you don't need anymore CF stuff from them you could pass along that discount to me!

NKatsim · 06-27-2011, 04:56 PM

I received the CF Diffuser and my overall impression is that it's ok. Looks good from far away. However, up close, you can see in some areas that the weave was pulled a bit much. V8Beatr review on the diffuser was spot on. The splitters cf weave from bogarts pics, look so much better.
I removed the mesh and I'm painting them now...I'll try to have it on the car by tonight.

Oh and sorry for the bad cell photo...no clue how to resize, edit, etc.

***update. I finished painting and installed mesh...

M3Newbie88 · 06-27-2011, 05:31 PM

^^ Don't worry if it makes you feel better my icarbon diffuser has stretched CF weaves too and it cost more then double.. I think unless you pay big bucks for the bmw perf one which may not be perfect either your not going to get perfection.

Can't wait to see it on your BSM thou.. with black mesh of course haha

Thankfully I got to seal the paint on Sunday so it'll be a breeze to keep it clean.

The 1er gets the garage spot?!?! wow... I guess we see who wears the pants in the family now...

We will get some pix of the new addition in a couple weeks. Maybe you can help install my KW V2, M3 conversion, and Vorshlag plates???

This is true... enjoy it for the money you paid!

NKatsim · 06-27-2011, 06:38 PM

For $350, you can't go wrong...

cooler2442 · 06-27-2011, 06:40 PM

Looks great. I can't wait for the next batch.

bogart · 06-27-2011, 07:17 PM

Looks really good!! I love CF on black!

1-2MANY · 06-27-2011, 07:25 PM

the pics of it on the BSM just sold it for me

M3Newbie88 · 06-27-2011, 07:26 PM

Wow.. amazing after the mesh is sprayed black..

wu2x · 06-27-2011, 07:27 PM

Looks about the same as my iCarbon diffuser in terms of quality, but at a much better price. Looks like a solid buy.

NKatsim · 06-27-2011, 07:29 PM

Thanks fellas...definitely looks better with the black mesh. After looking at the pics, I had to go out and fix the mesh and even it out.

M3Newbie88 · 06-27-2011, 07:34 PM

Hmmm the Scopione splitters remind me of these ones.. maybe this is the style they are trying to mimic:

Agree

see Page 2, Post #29.

M3Newbie88 · 06-27-2011, 08:11 PM

^^ ahh.. I see I see haha.. I guess this just shows the whole car.. but can't wait to see your car with some nice rims.. will look pretty nice I think.. cause stock with any type of cosmetic mod won't look that good.. but once the car is slammed with some nice rims it will look great.. I'll be following your threads

LOL, the 1er was purchased, the 3 is leased... so it get's the shaft by default!

I'll definitely be willing to help out with the suspension since I plan on going the exact same route (V2s, M3 suspension goodies, camber plates)... I'll be back this weekend as well as the next one for a wedding, so we pick a day and I'll make sure I'm free.

Just a thought, I was looking at the iCarbon mesh today and it almost seems like it is painted gloss black, and it appears darker than the mesh in your photos. Did you use gloss or matte black paint?

Awesome! Let's try for the weekend of the 9th. I can't wait to get this thing slammed... but then again, I'm going to be very tempted to get new wheels once it is...

NKatsim · 06-28-2011, 09:10 AM

Good eye! I used a flat black paint...i ordered some black mesh on ebay just in case. Hopefully, it will be a bit stronger and not as soft as the one from Scopione.
