Indeed.

Looking good. Those batch 2 ones definitely look workable. If I wasn't doing the custom thing for my spoiler, i'd be all over one from the second batch...

It's cool man. I'm as excited for your outcome as you are. I like your ideas.

I'm glad you got to a good finished product, they look great! Too bad the wagon is leaving me

You'll be back, it's bound to happen. I hope you'll be back anyway, we all do. Lurking if nothing else.

Heh, thanks. Unfortunately, my spoiler project is on hold for right now. Need to lay some fiberglass layers down on the hatch/rear windshield to get an accurate shape, but have been hesitant to do it on the car. Looking for a spare Touring rear windshield to do the work on...

Waxed paper over the car?

Heh. Originally I was just going to tape the seams then lay down wax and some PVA mold release onto the body before laying fiberglass down on top of it. Problem is that the Touring gets driven daily by me or the wife for picking up the kids from school, so I can't currently afford any more downtime after the whole engine replacement debacle. So, I figure it better to hold off and just look for a rear windshield/hatch panel to do the work on...

I have 2 left.

[esthero]

what do you mean by these 3 will be different? will it be different than the next 5 or batch order?

Batch 2 has me so happy and thankful that I stayed with it.

They figured out 2 things. The sandwiched halves of the piece were leading to different cure rates throughout the piece. As you can see here, there's a hollowed out section which means that once the piece has cured, there's no movement in the sufrace from the bottom pulling in odd ways as it cured quicker than the top.

Part II, they used the rear hatch of an e39 wagon to verify fitment before bubble wrap and boxing (huge benifits from this step)

Straight from the box, laid on the rear hatch, they fit. With minimal sanding, I think even a novice could prep these and have them look passable.



A shop will have no problem at all.





I am happy to report that I will take any and all orders.

Please understand that in the beginning, it will be me taking orders till I have a number larger than 5 (these 3 will be different)
Once 5 or more are ordered, I'll place a small batch order. They'll ship to me and from me to you. Not efficient but that's how it needs to be for now.


I'm happy and confident that you will be too.

Stoked to have found this thread. Picking up my 528it on Friday. Yusssss.

I meant that from now on, they'll arrive differently. These 3 I had recently were a proof of concept for the "fix" to the gullwing issue. So, they just sent me 3 as a showing of how they're different from before. From now on, they'll send me 5 at a time.

Confirmation that Slimbones aka Rick and his team didn't give up if I didn't. They are just as committed as I am/was to get these right. I'm very impressed.
It's taken longer than I ever expected but so far, I'm very happy with the end result.

Sweet! I also just bought a 1999 528i Sport yesterday and would definitely want a spoiler! I'm already an active member of the E31 board, and will be joining you guys here as well

Thanks, super glad to be here! I'll try and get some picks of her as she sits now before starting my various mods. Is Carbon black Metallic on tan leather...

Just received a pack of 6 spoilers of the revamped design.

You'll see me selling these on eBay and CL for more than here. Loyalty mang, loyalty.

[nauqneyugn]

Maybe you'll still have one after I end my self imposed spending freeze after buying all new hatch trim pieces. :|

[ColtonBH]

Is that e39toys.com still happening, and gonna receive more products? That is you that runs it, right?

Trying. I put it on hold while I'm trying to get dyno numbers on Jed's headers. I'm waiting on an alignment and exhaust work. Once that's done e39toys will be back on top of the pile.
Short answer, yes.

Ouch, new pieces? Was there not a parted out one close? I love CL for rando-parts.

[nauqneyugn]

Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone parting a wagon that wanted to sell to me. The big main panel on the hatch was $550!

Ouch! (again) crap. Sorry man but hey, new is pretty cool too.

Hey I just had to buy a whole lift gate to get the interior trim. Cheaper than new and local. But still looking for the three pieces that go around the interior of the rear window

That guy isn't parting any of the hatch parts unfortunately. As an aside, he said he has another wagon he might be parting - they're trying to decide if it's worth it to do the chain guides.

[Island Grown]

Sounds like we're looking got the same hatch surround trim pieces... mine is beige...

I finally just bought the three trim pieces from brm. $125 shipped which is about the price of the top piece from the dealer.
