Hello superior 1M owners
Just wondering if anyone had feedback on the German company, Perl Carbon. They make some OEM looking carbon overlays for the 1M bumper "fangs". I just did the body conversion for my E88 and was interested in ordering these overlays. Wanted to check with you guys first to see if anyone had any experience with them.

Yeah, first I've seen these overlay types actually cover the full fang. The other ones on the market change the shape to a sharp angle as well. I like that these look like an OEM cover that BMW might have made, like the F8X. I think I'll be able to run these with a Revozport lip as well

These look pretty decent. Anyone know if these are 1x1 or 2x2 weave? Can we get them in gloss or matte? Anyone speak German and can find out?
Also, how are these mounted? Just tape? |

Speaking with them now regarding shipping to the US because their site doesn't allow it. I don't see any other options for different weaves or finishes but I can ask. Their site has an english toggle towards the top btw. I'm ordering in a couple weeks so I should be able to give a review by the end of june

If you´d like someone to deal with shipping, etc. if they don´t do that themselves (or they offer you a major discount when providing a german shipping address) just message me.
I´m located in Germany and could deal with the shipping and also price debating if you are not succesful |

Just let me know how many sets you´d like to order, how much of a discount perl is offering you (i guess i can manage 10% for sure!)

How was the fit against the RevoZport lip? Did you have to remove the lip, and re-install it? Did you use the tappers as well? |

The fangs look really good, i like that there is no gaps around the edges that usually expose the bodycolor just a bit disappointed at what they cost, that it seems to have a fibreglass base , when looking at the pic you posted , showing the insides.
Its also very hard to tell from the angles of your pics, but does the weave of the fang match up to the lip? Last edited by Boost3d_1M; 06-26-2019 at 05:10 AM.. |
