Carbon Door Trim

I saw that the center console trim was just one giant plastic welded piece.

Is the trim on the dash and doors also plastic welded to the full panel?

I see BMW selling the trims separately so I assumed there was a way to replace them but I don't want to buy them if it's something only the dealer can do. Also not a fan of "stick-on" trim like the one AutoTecknic offers, never looks as flush as it's supposed to.

Yes they're plastic welded to the door panel, there's about 12 welds holding each one in place. You refasten them with metal screws.
