11 MayBMW Bumpers, Front Lips, and Add On Spoilers



Most BMW 3-Series and 5-Series vehicles come from the factory with a plain and boring front end. The sportier models including the M-Sport, M-Tech, M Tech II, M-Aero, M3 and M5 models come with more aggressive front ends that completely transform the looks and aerodynamics.

Thankfully, there is a solution to transform your standard 335 or non-Sport model into the more aggressive M3 or M-Sport look. The Aero Lip Add on for the BMW E92 328 and 335 is an easy solution that will add a front lip to the factory bumper. If you just want a simple and aggressive upgrade, these Front Add On Spoilers are the way to go.

Available from Vorsteiner for the E92 M3 and E90 M3, the Aero Front Add On Spoiler is a direct fit to the factory M3 front bumper. This lower carbon fiber BMW add on spoiler will add downforce and improve the look without the need to modify the original bumper.

If you are looking for a true one of a kind front end, then you will want to go with a full replacement bumper like the M3 Style Front Bumper for the E92 or E90 3-Series or the Vorsteiner GTS3 front bumper for the E92 M3. These replace the entire front bumper with a more aggressive version that offers original factory BMW fit and finish with a better look. In addition, the larger air dams and grills improve aerodynamics and stability at high speed for a performance benefit on the street or track.

These race inspired bumpers are available with carbon fiber add on lips for a real aggressive carbon theme. If you have the carbon theme on your car with the Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Aero Bootlid and Carbon Fiber Front Grill set, then these style carbon fiber lips are definitely a good complement.

23 AprThe Growing Demands for Carbon Fiber



The demand for carbon fiber grows more and more as we progress in time. There is a recent boom about products and applications made from this material. More fields have seen the vast usefulness of its qualities and properties as it is applied to almost anything. Probably the most demanding line of business that makes use of this composite more than other fields is for car parts applications. Popular car brands attest to its strength and durability like Accord, BMW, Acura, Volkswagen, Subaru, Pontiac… the list is endless!

These cars rely on the magnificent strength-to-weight ratio displayed by this material. Recently, even the interiors of the high-end air plane, Boeing Ari Bus Air Plane benefited from this composite. Other widely known applications of this product are for car fenders, hoods, trunks, bonnets, lips, and boots.

But how does this composite have this great strength with lesser weight? It has a lot to do with how it is formed. Carbon fiber is actually a product formed from carbon filaments. One single strand of this filament is made up of around 90 % of carbon. Since we already know the strength displayed by carbon element, we can be sure that a bundle of these fibers will bring along around 90% of more strength!

The only drawback seen regarding the upward trend of the demand for this material is that there seems to be a so-called shortage for this composite. Whenever there is a great supply for this material, there are three major lines of business that immediately grab as many possible supplies for their own uses. The first field is the military. This has been a boon company for the production of air craft. Think about this: An F-22 Raptor alone has already above three hundred and fifty carbon/epoxy parts! Another air plane that needs a huge amount of this composite is the joint Strike Fighter Plane. Almost one third of its parts will be composed of carbon fiber. Other military uses for this material are for various applications in helicopters especially the Black Hawks, holsters, body armors, helmets, among many other applications.

The next highest buyer of this product is the Airbus Company. The plane is the largest air liner in the whole world. Its wingspan is greater than the area of a foot ball field! So you can just imagine just how many carbon fiber it needs to support this plane.

The third largest purchaser of this product is Boeing. This is the company behind 787 Dreamliner. Fifty percent of this airliner is made up of carbon fiber. It is the reason behind the success of its flight from Australia to England without the need to refuel.

If only we could do more mass production for this material, more fields will be benefited from its vast uses. Mankind will live a little better knowing that we took advantage of this significant material in its full potential.
