Not stupid at all! Very valid questions

The DIY video is already done, and we'll post it up in a day or two.

Basically you remove your stock seatbacks, and these go over them. We made the edges in a way that the carbon seatback "grabs" on to the stock seatback and overlaps it, so that it holds on to it, all while looking like it came like that from factory. The seatback also comes with pre-installed 3M tape for ease of installation.

So, remove stock seatback, put CF one on top of the stock one, and put it back in!

So do these replace or go over stock seat backs? Only interested if they completely replace stock seat backs. I do want to add that this a sexy accessory the the 1 series. Definitely one of a kind

They go over the existing seat backs.

Count me in for one! It'll look great with my carbon fiber trim

(car still in production).

Kcyrusm · 10-15-2010, 10:32 AM

I just sent my payment. Can't wait to get my hands on these! Can't wait for my car to finish being built and shipped here from Germany! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.

I've always loved that word. Fashionista!

Me too!!!! Hahaha. I am a little disappointed that I can't get to Vons in 5.67 seconds.

Holy Shit, if I was a girl I'd do everyone at Icarbon!

The carbon fiber trim offered by BMW is the same

But it DOES look nice

Exclusivity, I guess was my goal

Which is indeed pretty much the way it goes when it comes to carbon fiber in the INTERIOR. Looks

Kcyrusm - Have you received your set yet?

DTM- I still want to order a set but got to my car yesterday and saw that some A$$ hit my rear bumper damaging that and my iCarbon diffuser so once i get an estimate on that I'll hopefully still be able to order these from you guys

Kcyrusm · 10-24-2010, 10:48 PM

Yep, my set came in a few days ago. Thursday, I think? Great look to them, beautiful weave. You are "technically" adding weight instead of removing, but the things are so light they float in the air almost like a feather. I can't imagine yer adding more than 1-2lbs in your car if even. Great product! Fast Shipping!

DTMrack.com · 10-25-2010, 09:46 AM

Kcyrusm I'm glad you received them. Make sure you post some pics so we can see how it came out.

And thanks about the shipping! We do our best!

Kcyrusm · 10-25-2010, 10:23 AM

Unfortunately, still waiting on my 2011 135i to get shipped. Got another month probably before I can put them on my car and show them off.

enigma135 · 10-25-2010, 11:00 AM

Kcyrusm are you coming to the meet on sunday?

You'd be adding about 12 oz total to the car

If you wanted to save weight, our Hood and Trunk combo would be in order. You'd save upwards of 50 lbs combined

Well, 49.2 lbs if you have our seatbacks

haha, reading through the read I came upon this. Great movie
