I haven't seen a lot of parts for the ETK K-series, so I learned how to use blender and made some! This is my first set, but I have more in progress for the ETK K and I series. I plan to release this pack once I feel there's enough content. Though if there's enough interest I could release what I have as I go. Credits: BeamNG Devs: Original meshes, jbeams PeterPlastic: Created the original carbon fiber texture I edited Me: modifying meshes, UV Unwrapped and textured. Legend: RED = Planned but not started ORANGE = WIP (Needs textures, mesh tweaks) GREEN = "Finished" these may receive tweaks and changes in the future. NOTE: Some parts do not have custom jbeams yet, such as fender/lip splitters, this is planned for future updates. Parts List: ETK K Adjustable Steering Rack (angle, turns to lock) Sport Front Bumper with splitter Sport Exhaust (needs texture) Sport Rear Diffuser Race Rear Diffuser Trunk Lip spoiler Rear window spoiler Vented Hood Vented Hood (2 more styles planned) BMW E9x inspired Front Bumper Custom Diffuser (needs texture) Extreme Diffuser New Diffuser (finish model, texture) Vented Side Skirts (finish model, texture) Twist Side Skirts (finish model, texture) Big Pipe Exhaust Rear Window Spoiler ETK I Adjustable Steering Rack (angle, turns to lock) Customizable fenders with splitters Steep splitters Tall splitters Race splitters Sport front lip with splitter (splitter texture) 3pc rear trunk lip (mesh tweaks and textures) Carbon side skirt diffuser DTM Style Rear Bumper Vented Hood (2 Styles planned) Aftermarket fender sidemarkers (2 styles planned) 200BX Adjustable Steering Rack (angle, turns to lock) Spirit Rei Kit (Front, sides, rear) Spoiler: MORE PICS I currently have 2 more rear diffusers, 2 more exhausts, and sideskirts planned for the ETK K and Retro Fender Splitters, 3-Piece Trunk Spoiler, and Sport Front Bumper w/Splitter for the ETK I that are currently in the works. These parts do currently use the stock jbeams, but as I learn more I plan to make new ones from scratch for the custom parts and also make them removable, i.e using the sport front bumper without the splitter or being able to swap different diffusers into the sport rear bumper. I'm also open to suggestions and ideas, so feel free to post some in here. Preferably with pictures for reference! Cheers! UPDATE 05/01/2019: Some more progress on the ETK I parts. Retro fender splitters, 3 piece rear wing (based off Kamei 3-Piece I own, though this is not my pic ) and a very subtle "sport" front lip with splitter. This design is very likely to change or at least be made into the "mild" version with a more aggressive lip and splitter as an option. Spoiler: ETK I Pics Retro fender splitters- Close up of rubber texture- 3 piece rear wing- Sport front bumper with splitter- UPDATE 5/12/2019 Added a list of parts and their progress. I will be uploading more pics tonight as well. I also want to mention I worked out a new "Material selection" system so that when you select your parts, there will be another drop down underneath for "Material," which will allow you to change things such as the rear trunk lip, or the fender splitters and choose things such as Painted, Carbon Fiber, or Rubber depending on the part. The Vented Hoods will have the vents separate, so you can choose combos such as Painted Hood and Carbon Vents, Carbon Hood and Vents, or even Carbon Hood and Painted Vents. In a similar vein, instead of having the Fender splitters as individual fenders like I originally had, you can now choose the "Customizable Fenders" and the select which style of fender splitter you want and then materials from there. I feel this is a good way to clean up the parts selection menus, so you have one "style" of hood with different patterns and textures, so you don't have 3 of the "same" part listed in the hood dropdown. UPDATE 5/14/2019 As for the screenshots I promised in my last post, here are a few for now. More coming later. Spoiler: Pictures Big Pipe Exhaust E9x Inspired front bumper w/ splitters Splitter (I know, the carbon texture needs work ) MSport Splitter UPDATE 5/20/2019 This update is mostly showing off the material selection for the hood and fender splitters, included pics of the sideskirt diffusers for the ETK I Brigsby sideksirts. Spoiler: ETK K Pics Customizable rear bumper lets you select different diffusers. Stock, sport and race are working so far, others are being worked on. Race diffuser, carbon fiber Race diffuser, painted. The vented hood also has material options: Painted hood and vents Painted hood, carbon vents Carbon hood, painted vents Carbon hood and vents Spoiler: ETKI Pics pt.1 First up for the ETK I, I have some carbon fiber sideskirt diffusers for the Brigsby sideskirts. I will be retouching the Carbon texture. Here is the first style of fender splitter showing off the material selection as well. One painted, one rubber. I know this is a small detail, but I wanted to be accurate lol. I reworked some textures from Poliigon and made it look more like my own fender splitters which are a sorta rough, textured rubber. Up close with natural lighting. Same shot with more contrast to show a little more detail Another angle, natural light. Spoiler: ETKI Pics pt.2 Here are the other 2 styles of fender splitters, "race" and "tall" I am just showcasing the painted versions here, but they also have rubber versions with the same texture shown above. Race splitters Tall splitters Race splitters and sideskirt diffusers UPDATE 6/25/2019 Spoiler: Pics First up is the finished E9x Front bumper, shown with splitter 2 and the new canards installed. Canards were unplanned but I wanted some so here they are. I also created a rear window spoiler on a whim after seeing a really nice E34 with one recently. I had to make it. I will likely make one for the ETK I in the future as well. Working on some sideskirts as well. First up is this "twist" skirt. Still a rough WIP, but it's getting close. And just some side-by-side shots of the ETK with the E9x bumper, splitter, trunk spoiler, rear diffuser and exhaust. Straight pipe exhaust and "Extreme" rear diffuser
Awesome! Getting parts for the Beam vehicles is always great! If you're open to suggestions, maybe you could attempt a Spirit Rei kit for the 200BX?
Nice, that should be a fun challenge. I'll give it a shot! Yep! Thanks again for your suggestion, it was a big help!

Thanks y'all! Updated the main post with a list of parts and their progress. I will be uploading more pics tonight as well.

Thanks! I would love to include that eventually, but I have exactly zero experience with skins, so I'd have to figure out how it all works first. Or if you or anyone else wants to work with me to get that in here, I'd be happy to. Just send me a PM and we can discuss. Otherwise consider it a stretch goal. As for the screenshots I promised in my last post, here are a few for now. More coming later.

Apologies for the delay, but I have a lot more pics for you all.

Thanks! It has crossed my mind, but I would need to experiment with glow maps and such as that would be new territory for me. I'd be willing to try! Did you have something in mind? Reference pics would be a huge help too.
Hi all, got another small update for y'all. Unfortunately some things IRL got in the way so progress has been slow. A couple more pics for y'all. Spoiler: Pics First up is the finished E9x Front bumper, shown with splitter 2 and the new canards installed. Canards were unplanned but I wanted some so here they are. I also created a rear window spoiler on a whim after seeing a really nice E34 with one recently. I had to make it. I will likely make one for the ETK I in the future as well.

And just some side-by-side shots of the ETK with the E9x bumper, splitter, trunk spoiler, rear diffuser and exhaust.
Still haven't learned how to work with skins and it's not a priority for me personally, if enough people want it I can work on it, but I want to get all the parts done before I do that. Couple more pics. Finished the "Extreme" rear diffuser and the "straight pipe" exhaust. Spoiler: Pics
Mod has been approved and added to the repo! Here are some more photos showcasing some of the parts. Spoiler: Pics
Is there a painted version of the 3 piece spoiler and i'm just missing it, or is there only a carbon version
