Carbon Fiber Products
just needs a quick wetsand and polish and it will be ready to get shipped out to the customer. We used an upgraded 20oz 2×2 twill fabric on it, with the weave going in all one direction. Very happy with how it turned out.
We’ve done a few BMW sets in the past, mostly e46 and e90 sets, but now we’re about halfway done with our first M5 set. I’m really happy with how it is turning out so far, particularly the shifter piece. I can’t wait to finish this set up and see how it looks installed.
We start with an e60 wood core that gets sanded down to make room for the extra material of the carbon fiber and epoxy.
After laying the pieces out on the fabric (we went with an upgraded 20oz 2×2 twill for the M5), we carefully cut it out to the appropriate sizes.
We then mix up some bonding epoxy and apply it to the pieces.
A few hours later, the fabric has been applied and the first major step on the trim is completed. This week, we’ll start adding epoxy to the pieces to give it the gloss and depth that most people associate with carbon fiber.
Big thanks to my friend Joey at EuroAddiction for being the first to get some parts made for his 911 GT3 as well as Angela Pappas at Fl@sh Photography for taking the time to get some pictures done for us.
These parts were made with a custom 20oz 2×2 twill fabric, which uses almost 4 times as much individual strands of carbon fiber than a standard weave. More strands equals a thicker, tighter weave.
I’ve got more parts in the works for this car, so keep your eyes open for those soon. If you’re interested in having parts made for your Porsche, fill out our custom quote form and we can get you setup.

if anyone is interested.
These sets just need to be polished and could be shipped out the day after payment has been made. Good opportunity to get a set that is ready to go without the normal 3-4 week lead time.
These sets were done in an upgraded 20oz 2×2 twill fabric (the same fabric that is found in the OEM RS4 carbon fiber trim). This upgraded fabric is normally $100 extra, but I’ll sell these two sets at the regular price.
Email me at matt@ocarbon.com if you’re interested in picking this up or if you have any questions.
