Ive seen that in another post which i seem not to be able to find anymore.
Someone was askign where to get carbon dashes.
theres this place here, http://competitionconcepts.com/, that does race ones. theyre kind of M3 specialized but anyway :-) What doesnt fit is made to fit ;-)
Maybe some dremel-work and you get it road ready.

Ive considerd it myself as , yeah nasty dash-cracks....though im trying to fidn a way to aviod indirect reflection on the windshield by sun or lights.

Anyways, some neat stuff here:-) pricey though.

TheRegulator, youve just gottta watch out that they are street legal, I know a lot of Carbon fibre items are not, due the brittleness of the material on hard impacts... but see how you go, if you get it post some pictures.

As you just say it, that makes sense...im kind of new to that stuff and got a...i dont even dare to post pictures cuz it causes a lot of folks to cry, ... e30 for myself. both are pretty abused, but im getting the overhand..:-)

Hmm, do you or anyone know if fiberglass is the same or could a base layer of fiberglass with a singlesheet carbon kidn of work out?

For the glare i could imagine a cutout in the carbon would work, and the fiberglass in a satin-paint or flat black. (i forgot how the paint is called that feels like rubber, some IBM laptops are that way..)

It would be blasphemy to put carbon style vinyl on it, but who can tell anyway...lol
