We always wanted to develop high-quality carbon products comparable to BMW OEM ones, so we started the INDIV. INDIV is undoubtedly new in this carbon field(one year), but we are growing super fast(we are also tightly working with IND, etc.)."

Minh - do you know who the manufacturer is? Definitely interested and the price isn't bad at all which, sadly, leaves me a little leery.

Here is their website and they're legit! Plus it's through PayPal so you'll be protected.

Do you know if the badging portion can be left 'open'? Don't want to be up-badging the interior…

Carbon Fiber is not cheap. A lot of work goes into these parts so $1k is not unexpected. I have an overlay. It’s not structural so not sure what the advantage is on a strictly cosmetic part other than being able to say “it’s real Carbon Fiber”. When I went with M3 shift paddles I went real CF for strength. To each his/her own.

Same question here…

Does the entire center console have to come off to swap this piece out?

No it does not. I would rate it 2 out of 10 for difficulty. They will have instructions and videos for the installation as well

I can attest from a product developers point of view that $800 for this is not very high margin, low production quantity and molded carbon fiber is not cheap to produce…. I would be surprised to see a “real” carbon fiber piece sub ~500: because of the plastic over mold and tolerances there’s probably high wastage too.

Beautiful piece but I was hoping it would be inline with MHC or Unit 17 pricing and not BMW Perf. Disappointed, but I guess these pieces take more labor than a diffuser and for other reasons mentioned above. Will be a pass for now unfortunately.

Its actually pretty fairly priced. If bmw offered it, itd probably be a little cheaper but being aftermarket 1 grand isnt bad.

The bmw CF steering wheel trim is like 700 or something.

///minh - Do you personally know the owner? The website does not have any actual products. I bit concerning considering the price tag.

Just an FYI...I have a pre-LCI so this wouldn't fit anyway.
