thanks alot! Sample kit is coming next week. We are still waiting for someone local (NJ/PA/NY) to try it out.

Looks like there's some confusion. let me clear this up. This kit is NOT a replacement kit. Do not expect to replace your stock trims with these. No one on the market is able to do that for this price range. The kit is made of real carbon fiber material over fiberglass base which requires to be glued onto your stock trims.
When you need to sell the car and return it to stock , You could always find someone with stock trims to trade with.

that's too bad.... i believe we are all looking for CF replacement trim...not overlays on top of our old trim. i hope you get some business anyways!

well. even factory aluminum trims are going for $600-$800 per set. I am not sure how anyone can do the replacement CF set at reasonable cost.
Anyway. we will see how the sample set works out. thanks for the post

I think what we can do is to set up a deal with a supplier/dealer to buy the cheapest trim, most likely the titanium trim? For us from US, there's no titanium trim so we probably have to buy from Canada?

Don't worry. I am contacting my partner in Germany for prices on those parts. We get best discount from BMW munich directly. I am also getting prices on the OE CF front spoiler . so keep watching this thread!
