AC Schnitzer mirrors

[Booster]

Guys/Gals.......... I make Carbon Fiber componets as a second business and since each new part requires SO much time and money to bring something to fruition, I often pick items that tend to be abit self serving initially too.
I want to build molds for the ACS mirrors so I can do them in CF.
What I NEED ...is a decent set to begin with as I've had zero luck buying/bidding with online auctions at a sane price so I can begin.
My question therein is" Anyone have a set willing to lend or sell"?
I'll have to bodywork them to perfection as well as paint and wetsand to the Zenith finish to use as the Plugs.Then build the molds from there.
So please comment as to the subject . I also already started with the ACS boot spoiler for the same CF goods.
Thanks in advance and try to avoid the " copyright speech" if possible.....lol.

Interesting that you did the boot spoiler, since I know there is at least a kevlar version of the ACS E34 boot spoiler floating around (almost grabbed it on ebay, but the price was way out of control).

Interested in doing a set of interior trim in CF?

if you can do this stuff for the E32's aswell, including my iL aswell then I will be all over it

why not do the hood and truck lid? or perhaps the side skirts?

best of all would be a bumper... =]

u can get em on ebay for real cheap .. i think non-motorized versions are around the 20 dollar range.

Those are the "M3 Look" mirrors. The ACS mirrors are lot smaller and have a different shell shape. I had a set for about 2 months before deciding the glass was too small to be useful.

might i ask how do you make carbon fiber parts? i know its similar to epoxy but how similar

[AllGo'n'Show]

kind of like fiberglass but not near as easy I heard.

I have two extra aluminum E34 hoods and a boot lid waiting for mold making. One of the hoods is for a modification with some type of air induction and heat venting. I'm not into gaudy styling so it will be something flush or near flush.I plan on doing those in CF .
As far as the Interior pieces go......I personally don't care for the overlay look. I would rather spend the time to engineer a part replacement in order to keep with good OEM fitment. It takes alot of time to develope correctly and come out with quality parts.
Regarding the mirrors..........I also wanted to stay with the ACS versions as I really like the smaller look. The M3 type is cool too, but most of the parts on my car are ACS and keeping with that theme is what I'd like to do first.
Anybody have a set ??

Yeah, I have CF overlay pieces already. I've been meaning to do some real replacemement pieces, just don't have the time. Perhaps someday....
