Poll: Tecnocraft Envy. CF or Kevlar?

M3_LIN · 11-12-2009, 03:45 PM

Hey guys,

Most likely going 2 get the Tecnocraft intake. I have an AW 09 E90M. Getting probably gunmetal wheels with red caps and red lugs. Thinking of going with CF kidney grills(or maybe kevlar if i go that way).

Wondering which type i should get. The CF one:

Or Kevlar:

Thoughts?

I've always preferred the Kevlar look. However, if you're going with the full intake, it might look like a bit too much. I'd still go with kevlar tho!

I'd do carbon kevlar since these days it's a rare combo, plus you have a white car, so the brighter kevlar look suits it better.

My 2 cents...

if I have a white car , I would go with Kevlar

i would wait till more dyno results come in, there was one guy with a no cat set up that lost 40hp but said it was due to lack of back pressure and with a re tune would be fine. then there was another that showed increase. if i was spending that much i would want to be sure about the hp/tq numbers unless you only care about the looks then go for the kevlar all the way. would look sick on the white car

Carbon Fiber - blends far better with the rest of the engine bay...
