Material & Construction
This anti-collision foam cover is made of high-quality prepreg carbon fiber, the best material available for automotive carbon fiber components. Prepreg carbon fiber is produced by pre-impregnating carbon fibers with epoxy resin under controlled conditions, resulting in a superior strength-to-weight ratio and a perfectly consistent weave.
Each cover is precision-formed in an autoclave under high pressure and temperature, ensuring optimal resin ratios and eliminating air bubbles. The result is a component that is not only lighter than the original foam cover but also stronger and stiffer.
The cover is finished with a UV-resistant clear coat that protects the characteristic carbon fiber weave from discoloration, oil, fluids, and heat from the engine bay. The deep, gloss finish emphasizes the premium quality of the material.
Design & Styling
This carbon fiber anti-collision foam cover transforms the engine bay of your BMW M3 or M4 with a subtle yet impactful upgrade. The carbon fiber weave is visible through the clear coat, creating a premium, race-inspired look that perfectly complements other carbon fiber upgrades in the engine bay.
The cover is designed to perfectly match the original mounting points and contours of the engine bay, resulting in a factory-fit look. The result is a professional, high-end finish that emphasizes the attention to detail.
For BMW enthusiasts looking to upgrade their engine bay with carbon fiber components, this cover is an essential addition that will elevate the overall aesthetic.
Installation & Assembly
The anti-collision foam cover is designed as a direct replacement for the original BMW foam cover and requires no modifications. The cover is installed using the original mounting clips and points.
Installation can be carried out by an experienced mechanic or BMW enthusiast with technical knowledge. The process involves removing the original foam cover and installing the carbon fiber cover using the original mounting points. Expected installation time is 30-45 minutes.
Make sure the engine bay is clean and dry before installing the carbon fiber cover. Avoid contact with sharp tools to prevent scratching the carbon fiber finish.
