No one makes a fin cover?

Satalite · 03-30-2011, 09:12 AM

I have yet to come across a fin cover lol. So no, no one has tread in that area yet I think.

I bet wrapping it would be a SOAB!

dmw16 · 03-30-2011, 09:57 AM

I don't think it would look all that good wrapped anyhow.

Ya there are waaay to many rounded edges and curves on that guy... I would think a cover would be the easiest solution. Surprised no one has made one yet lol..

I believe Agency Power is working on one. Since its a universal one for all BMW's. I will have to ask. Maybe suggest that we would be interested in a group buy.

If pictures look good and the quality and price is right then ya!

Why would you do such a thing?

JHOOPS2 · 03-30-2011, 01:46 PM

If they would make one in a Matte finish as well as the STD finish, and charge >$80.00us, then they would sell them faster than they could make them. That is taking into consideration that all of the 1,3,5,6,7 and SUV line have the same fin.

Wouldn't the cf cause it to get shitty reception?

I wouldn't think that it would make any difference. They make them for other cars and I have never heard of anyone stating of a signal drop.

Eric@e2design · 03-30-2011, 05:05 PM

Anyone have an extra one or wana let me borrow theirs? I'll make one and have it done in a week or two in lol-vacuumed CF..

=].. I'll give you two for free in return. Cell # is in the sig.

lol-vacuumed CF ? Haha sounds sketchy! I might be up for it PM me details and ill see what I can do.

Dackelone · 03-30-2011, 05:59 PM

What about buying a spare fin and having it dipped into that liqiud CF stuff. I forget the exact name. I have seen some tuned cars with air intakes and even hunting guns done up in that CF gel/coating.

No one's gona autoclave this lmao.. the unfortunate truth.. your carbon is not dry

semi serious about making it it's really not a big deal any takers?

Satalite · 03-30-2011, 07:40 PM

How do you pop off the fin? And if I send it in what is turnaround?

No idea how to take it off.. I'll need the fin for a few days then i'll send it back to you if you need it.. if not i'd like to keep it so we can test fit it when we have our piece done and send you everything all together. If that is not possible or inconvenient thats fine I'll make jzhang swing by lol

2 days to make the mold, have parts ready by end of the week.. make a few post it up in the vendor section.. all in all about 1 week give us 2 incase we're busy.

PM me if you're interested again I'll send you back two covers in return =) or deal on something cool

Satalite · 03-30-2011, 10:17 PM
