Modding a Competition G80 M3 With Carbon Fiber BMW G80 M3 Parts

Nov 18th 2024 Monaco Motorsports

At Monaco Motorsports, we love pushing the boundaries of what's possible with luxury vehicles. Our latest project involves a jaw-dropping Competition BMW G80 M3 finished in an eye-catching Isle of Man Green. At the customer's request, we kitted out this beast front to back with our finest hand-crafted Carbon Fiber BMW G80 M3 parts.

This client came to us wanting to take their G80 M3 to the next level, and we delivered. Read on to see what BMW G80 M3 parts we used to transform a great car into an absolute stunner.

The Carbon Fiber Difference

The materials used in your automotive mods are more important than you think. Beyond aesthetics, different materials can significantly affect performance, so we decided to go with the best. For this project, we opted for Monaco Motorsports' very own Carbon Fiber BMW G80 M3 parts made using the dry carbon fiber process.

Note: Excludes Gloss Black CSL Style Grille.

The Superiority of Dry Carbon Fiber

Dry carbon fiber is produced by manufacturing "pre-preg" carbon fiber material. Here's a breakdown of why this process results in the highest-quality carbon fiber parts:

  • Pre-Preg Material: This term refers to carbon fiber that has been pre-impregnated with resin. The precise amount of resin ensures optimal strength and weight characteristics.
  • Molding and Vacuum Sealing: The pre-preg carbon fiber is placed into a mold to achieve the desired shape. It is then vacuum-sealed to cure. This step, known as the autoclave process, ensures that the part is formed without air pockets or pinholes.
  • Autoclave Process: This high-pressure, high-temperature curing process solidifies the carbon fiber, creating an incredibly strong yet lightweight part. This method contrasts with the "wet" production method, which often incorporates ABS plastic or fiberglass.
  • Highest Quality: The autoclave vacuuming process produces the purest form of carbon fiber parts. The absence of air pockets and minimal pinholes ensures that the final product is aesthetically flawless and superior in performance.

The Monaco Motorsports Advantage

Monaco Motorsports Carbon Fiber BMW G80 M3 parts are crafted with precision and care, ensuring each piece meets the highest quality standards. We use 100% pre-peg vacuumed dry carbon fiber with a 2x2 carbon fiber weave, finished with a glossy UV protective clear coat. This construction process ensures maximum durability, a flawless finish, and optimal performance.

1. Carbon Fiber V1 Style Front Lip Splitters Set

The first component we installed on this Competition BMW G80 M3 was the BMW G80/G82/G83 M3/M4 Carbon Fiber V1 Style Front Lip Splitters Set. This sleek addition immediately enhances the car's front-end look, giving it a more aggressive stance that commands attention.

Sleek and Sporty Finish

A new G80 M3 front lip is an excellent aesthetic upgrade–but it does far more than look good. Improving aerodynamic efficiency reduces lift at high speeds, which gives drivers far better stability and handling. This means you can take those corners more confidently and maintain better control at higher velocities. Essentially, an upgraded front lip helps keep the car planted, enhancing safety and driving enjoyment.

2. Carbon Fiber AK-Style Diffuser With Brake Light

The next mod we knew we had to include was the BMW G80/G82/G83 M3/M4 Carbon Fiber AK-Style Diffuser, which features a third brake light.

A carbon fiber G80 diffuser is a great choice to improve your vehicle's aerodynamic performance. Managing the airflow underneath the car reduces drag and increases downforce. This means the car remains more stable and planted on the road at higher speeds, enhancing traction and handling. Additionally, the integrated third brake light is a great visual upgrade that also improves safety by ensuring better visibility to drivers behind, especially in low-light conditions.

3. Gloss Black CSL Style Grille

A crucial upgrade in our modification of the Competition BMW G80 M3 was the addition of the BMW G80/G82/G83 M3/M4 Gloss Black CSL Style Grille. Our G80 M3 grille adds a sleeker, more aggressive front-end look that perfectly complements the car's dynamic styling.

Like all our mods so far, the G80 M3 grille plays a big role beyond just aesthetics. Its design significantly improves airflow to the engine bay, essential for maintaining optimal engine temperatures and performance. Our G80 M3 grille helps enhance the vehicle's cooling efficiency by ensuring a steady airflow, particularly during high-performance driving. This means the engine can run cooler and more efficiently, contributing to better overall performance and longevity.

4. Carbon Fiber Fender Vent Trim Set

For our next enhancement, we focused on refining the aesthetic details of the Competition BMW G80 M3 by installing the G80 M3 Carbon Fiber Vent Trim Set.

This high-quality fender vent trim set adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, perfectly complementing the car's overall design. Crafted from premium carbon fiber, these trims enhance the visual appeal, providing a sleek and modern look. Ideal for those who appreciate the finer details, these vents seamlessly integrate with the car's design, elevating its appearance and adding a unique, custom touch.

5. Carbon Fiber Front Hood Splitter Trim Set

To complete the transformation of the Competition BMW G80 M3, we added the BMW G80/G82/G83 M3/M4 Carbon Fiber Front Hood Splitter Trim Set. This component adds an aggressive and cohesive look to the vehicle's front end, perfectly complementing the other carbon fiber elements.

Our G80 M3 hood splitter enhances the vehicle's aesthetic appeal, providing a more aggressive stance. The trim also complements the front lip by ensuring a balanced profile, creating a unified appearance.
