I'm surprised none of the aftermarket CF people offer it without the badge. Maybe the market isn't large enough to justify it.

 

I ordered the alcantara one. I may make a carbon one as a project if I can find the time.

 

I have to see what it's like when I handle it. I just have basic CF skills, but yah basically use it to make a mold. Could likely wrap the Alcantara in plastic to keep it on there when making the mold. I have access to ovens and vacuum and help @ techshop (techshop.ws). Also have a 3d printer I could use to make a mold as well, or replicate the part in ABS. Definitely fun, but I have too many car projects right now ; )

 

Totally - time is the limiting factor for me. I've made a couple of "prototypes" that ended up being final parts on my 308 out of ABS...horn bracket, firewall plate, grille brackets, etc. 3d printing is really taking off right now in terms of quality and the price is dropping.

RBM has an awesome thread where he is using 3d plastic to prototype then build parts for his scud - like rotor hats, suspension components, etc. He is even having 3d printed titanium parts made : O Yes, 3d printed titanium. They also have a CF 3d printer now - imagine the possibilities...pretty nuts.

 

Man - I know what that's like. When I was taking care of my dad, I got to wash my car (M3 at the time) once in like 6 months. You'll be blessed forever for that though.

I really want one too for my scud... did they make a black leather version? To match my leather interior

 

Wow thanks for the info George! Well same here hoping to get a used one instead of the $500 price tag from Ricambi.. I doubt if anyone is selling, I guess I have no choice but to order it from them...

 

Yeah very much! My problem is I like the carbon panel better than the leather! But for $2k??? Nevermind...

 

That takes lightweight to another level!

 

Just buy some CF and "hang" it in front of the hole. 20% off sale at fiberglast.com today. LOL.

Seriously, I do plan to tackle this as a fun project, but it will likely wait until winter when I have more downtime and need to dream about cars : )

So far I just cut some templates, and printed some abs mock-up plates. I also purchased the alcantara OE version and have that as a point of reference as well.

The CF price version is crazy IMHO. I would never pay that personally.

 

2,200..That is Ferrari holding up a giant middle finger to customers...
