Is your carbon fiber real?

All of our products are made from genuine carbon fiber, not hydro-dipped or vinyl wrapped. We source high-quality materials for each piece, and every product is constructed using industry-standard methods including dry carbon for specific high-performance applications. No corners are cut. No filler materials.

Absolutely not. None of our products are drop shipped. Every item is manufactured at our dedicated facility and shipped to our Chicago-based warehouse, where it undergoes a full inspection and quality control process before being delivered to you. We also offer a selection of custom designs created in-house that are exclusive to Insignist Motorsports — ensuring you're not just getting generic parts passed from one supplier to another.

What’s the difference between dry carbon and regular carbon fiber? Why is dry carbon more expensive?

Dry carbon fiber is lighter, stronger, and significantly more expensive to produce than wet (gloss) carbon. While wet carbon is layered with resin and cured with a gel coat for aesthetics, dry carbon is cured under vacuum pressure in an autoclave — the same process used for Formula 1, aerospace, and race-spec builds. This makes it the premium choice for anyone who prioritizes performance, weight savings, and structural integrity.

Is everything on your site in stock?

All of our products are always available to order, a lot are in stock and others are crafted to order, entering production shortly after your purchase. Because we’re a growing business, we balance warehouse space and customer demand, so some orders may take a little longer to fulfill. That said, we maintain an 'In-Stock & Ready-to-Ship' section, clearly displayed on our homepage and in the navigation menu. You can filter by BMW model and instantly view parts ready to ship from Chicago. We’re transparent with our customers, and you can always check your order status by emailing insignist.com@gmail.com or using the Contact Us page. We typically respond within 24–48 hours.

Yes! We want you to have your item as soon as possible. Items listed in our Chicago warehouse under 'In Stock – Ready to Ship' usually ship within 1–3 business days. If it's crafted to order, it enters our tracked production queue and ships when ready. You can always request updates as your order progresses.

Best Carbon Fiber Mods for First-Time Buyers

November 2, 2025

1. Trunk Spoilers: The Ultimate Starter Mod

If there’s one mod every beginner should consider, it’s a trunk spoiler. These lightweight add-ons are easy to install, instantly elevate your vehicle’s look, and offer subtle aerodynamic benefits. Whether you go for a CS Style trunk spoiler for the BMW G80 or a P-style lip for the Audi A5, this is where form and function meet.

Spoilers are also one of the more budget-friendly carbon fiber options perfect for first-timers who want that premium aesthetic without breaking the bank.

2. Mirror Caps: Small Part, Big Presence

Mirror caps are one of those sleeper mods. You don’t realize how much they enhance the car’s profile until you’ve got them on. For newer drivers and first-time buyers, they’re the easiest way to make a side-profile pop.

At Insignist, we offer both replacement mirror caps and overlay-style caps depending on your comfort level. Our pieces are designed with OEM fitment in mind, so you won’t be dealing with misaligned clips or weird gaps like you might with lower-tier sellers.

3. Front Lips: Aggressive Look, Real Results

Once you’re ready to step it up, a carbon fiber front lip is your next move. This isn’t just about aesthetics — a front lip can improve airflow, reduce lift, and create that signature aggressive stance.

But here's the catch: not all front lips are created equal. Many sellers overpromise with images that don’t match the product you get. At Insignist, what you see is what you get. Every lip in our catalog includes exact product shots, fitment guarantees, and updates during the production and shipping process. You’ll know exactly what to expect, and exactly when to expect it.

4. Diffusers: Premium Touch for the Rear End

A carbon fiber rear diffuser pulls your whole build together. It’s often the finishing touch people skip — but it’s what makes your car look complete from every angle. For platforms like the BMW F32 or Mercedes W205, this is an upgrade you’ll feel good about every time you walk away from your car and look back.

We work closely with premium suppliers like Valvetronic Designs to ensure even the most intricate diffuser builds match OEM specs, and our in-house carbon specialists ensure fitment across multiple platforms.

5. Don’t Skip the Interior

Most first-time buyers focus only on the outside, but a carbon fiber interior kit can completely change your driving experience. Dash trims, paddle shifters, start-stop button surrounds — these are the mods you touch every day. If you're going to spend time behind the wheel, why not make it feel like an M car or RS model from the inside out?

Many of our carbon fiber interior kits for BMW and Audi come in multiple finishes, including matte, gloss, and forged carbon, giving you options that reflect your personal style.
