AutoCarbon Rear Spoiler

MinionM3 · 04-19-2012, 11:53 AM

Do any of you have experieince with this product?

http://www.bimmian.com/AutoCarbon-Ca...W-E82-1-Series

To me it looks almost identical to the BMW Performance one, and is much cheaper... But i believe, you get what you pay for and i want to know if anyone on here has this and what they thought?

... I did search and came up with nothing

Thanks for the help guys!

I saw this the other day as well. Looks pretty legit and it says they are handcrafted. Same design and shape as the BMW CF spoiler. For $215 shipped it seems like a solid investment. I would also like to know if anyone has any experience with this product before making a purchase.

MinionM3 · 04-19-2012, 12:27 PM

I am going to buy it using my AMEX points (Schweeeet) so really not much to lose in it for me... Im going to wait a day to see if anybody posts up about it, and if i dont get anything, im gonna go for it.

MinionM3 · 04-19-2012, 12:54 PM

Im impatient... Just ordered it... will post review and pics once i get it and install it.

Whats to lose other than some AMEX points anyway, right?

///S55 · 04-19-2012, 01:01 PM

True. Can't wait for your review. I still debating about putting the spoiler.

pinmagic · 04-20-2012, 11:31 AM

Once again, no love for the vert.

WPG D33Z · 04-20-2012, 11:45 AM

I picked up an ebay spoiler for my vert, get it installed on May 7th! Test fit it and while it doesnt mold exactly on the bottom when installed it should look fine. Ill post pictures once installed

BimmerE82 · 04-20-2012, 12:44 PM

Gald I saw this post. I was also considering purchasing this CF spoiler from Bimmian.com I have purchased from this Canadian company in the past and they do sell quality stuff It just takes a little longer to arrive but other than that, can't complain. Please post pics of the install when it arrives! Thanks!

Got it yet???

Sylon · 04-26-2012, 05:31 PM

Definitely want to see how this spoiler is.

Everfly · 04-27-2012, 10:21 AM

I am so Impatient too. Went to order the BMW performance instead, but still curious to see how this one turn out though

///S55 · 04-27-2012, 12:11 PM

Here you go guys - the quality is good (compared to the Jlevi one)
There is NO lift, the only "gap" is from my 3M tape. My buddy used to have a BMW Perf. one but he used Bondo to put his on...

I think for half the price... this is def the best buy out there

as you can kinda see, the tape but you have to be close enough and look for it

no lifting, I am very happy with this spoiler
*note - what seems to be the gap is just the shadow, it sits flush as long as you don't put the 3M tape too close to the edge

MinionM3 · 04-27-2012, 11:35 PM

Just got the spoiler in the mail today!!! I will be doing the install tomorrow and will post pics of the progress and finished product - So excited

Satalite · 04-27-2012, 11:50 PM

When you say "used" to have a BMW Perf but had bond what did he do with it...?

Please keep us updated on how the spoiler has held up over the next few weeks. I only have 3 more things planned for my car before I deem it "complete" and a CF Performance-style spoiler is one of them. If I can save a couple hundred bucks that would be great. I can put that towards coils. But I also want something that will hold up.

Greenkirby21 · 04-28-2012, 11:03 AM

I like the autocarbon a lot! I was actually going to buy one but everywhere I looked was sold out and it seemed as if they had stopped making them. Thats why I went with the JBSpeed. However, it seems to look like they started making them again. I am planning on getting the autocarbon mirrors they are only 120 and look fantastic

///S55 · 04-28-2012, 12:07 PM

It's been on for a month now, and it's been through snow, rain and +15 sun

Adam135 · 04-28-2012, 12:08 PM

Be sure to wax it to prevent it from yellowing. I use a synthetic sealant.
