Get whatever you can find really....otherwise you'll be waiting a long time.

I once tried to get a matte diffuser.

Let me know how it goes.

I'd say go dry look since not many people have it though I think it might be harder to get those parts because it is less common so it will take longer.

I just got a wet diffuser from **********s. DTM rack also has icarbon stuff. I also found my trunk in the for sale section. There are some random CF parts on ebay as well... Like people said, snatch up what you can get. These will be very rare parts soon enough.

As far as your poll... the wet CF looks incredible and is easy to clean/wax.

It's actually fairly disappointing that iCarbon has disappeared. They provided many options with CF, including matte and 1x1 twill that I don't think the e82 will ever see again.
