Take your BMW to the next level with the AutoTecknic Dry Carbon Fiber Fuel Cap Cover. Crafted using AutoTecknic’s signature autoclave dry carbon technology, our product offers a perfect fit and finish. All of our carbon fiber products are manufactured with a consistent carbon weave pattern.
The name "dry carbon fiber" comes from the manufacturing process. Dry carbon fiber is formed using "pre-preg" or impregnated carbon material pieces. These pieces are first placed in a mold and then placed in a sealed vacuum (autoclave) to be cured properly. This method creates the least amount of impurities and results in a lighter carbon than the "wet" method. The autoclave vacuum process used to create dry carbon results in fewer pinholes and virtually no air pockets in the carbon. Dry carbon is the highest quality carbon fiber product produced.
Our manufacturing method achieves an excellent pre-preg carbon/resin ratio, increasing product rigidity and enhancing strength and durability. The products are coated with a high-gloss, UV-resistant clear coat that resists yellowing and will not chip or flake, ensuring a beautiful finish.
To ensure you can use your genuine AutoTecknic carbon fiber product with confidence, we carefully inspect all parts before shipping to ensure the highest product quality.
Note: Please ensure your current fuel cap uses a side-mounted tether.
This is a cover that secures over your factory fuel cap. It installs easily in seconds.
Before You Order
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At Shaft-ya Shopping Site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there are no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Compatibility Check
Our entire product database is based on North American specification vehicles (USDM). Please confirm compatibility with Japanese specification vehicles (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure whether a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will be happy to assist you.)
If you order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our homepage, it does not necessarily guarantee that they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of checkout. Shipping estimates are calculated automatically once you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
All products are generally shipped internationally from our U.S. warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping within Japan, international shipping takes approximately 7 to 14 days, so please allow yourself enough time when placing your order. If you are in a hurry, please contact us to confirm delivery times in advance. Note that all items are transported by air. No items are shipped via sea freight.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
Essentially, all products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection System," and we are unable to provide strength study documents or similar for this purpose. Therefore, all parts are sold for "use on circuits, private property, or off-road use only," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents of your order as soon as it arrives. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be instances of shipping damage to the packaging or the product itself. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or replacements for products with shipping damage, defects, or incorrect items if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Furthermore, regarding products sold through our company, all warranty-related support will be handled "exclusively through us." Please note that we do not handle support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
