Matte is quoted per order: select it to request a price for your car. Our standard finish already meets the industry standard for engine bay parts, with a heat-resistant clear coat on the outer layer, because the engine bay runs hotter than anywhere outside the vehicle and heat is what makes a clear coat yellow over time. On Gloss you can also add our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/carbonxtrem.com\/pages\/dry-carbon-vs-wet-carbon-what-s-the-difference#full-thermal-clear-coat\"\u003eFull Thermal Clear Coat\u003c\/a\u003e, where the heat-resistant formulation runs through every layer rather than the outer one alone, the most durable finish we offer for the bay. It costs more and is a deliberate choice for owners who want the longest life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CarbonXtreme Carbon Fiber Engine Bay Corner Panels replace the factory plastic corner covers in the BMW G22, G23 and G26 4 Series engine bay. Sold as a pair, one panel carries an open honeycomb mesh and the other is solid, both finished and clear-coated. They are part of our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bmw-g22-g23-g26-4-series-prepreg-carbon-fiber-engine-bay-kit\"\u003ecomplete 4 Series carbon fiber engine bay\u003c\/a\u003e, and they are at their best seen as part of that whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW does not offer this piece in carbon, so a full carbon bay is not something you can option from BMW. It is built one piece at a time, from parts like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e BMW G22 4 Series Coupe, G23 4 Series Convertible and G26 4 Series Gran Coupe, including the 420i, 430i and M440i. This includes 2024 models. Left-hand drive only. It does not fit the G20 3 Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is genuine carbon fiber. Each panel is made from 3K prepreg carbon fiber, also known as dry carbon, and cured under pressure in an autoclave, the same method behind OEM and motorsport parts, not the hand-laid carbon that is sold for less and shows its shortcuts up close. The pressure drives the air out of the layup, so the weave stays tight and even and the part is light and dimensionally stable. The few fine surface pinholes any weave can leave are filled before the clear coat goes on, far fewer than a hand-laid part needs.

It is for the owner who wants the bay to read as carbon all the way through, with nothing left in plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstall:\u003c\/strong\u003e A direct replacement for the factory corner covers.
