Carpet lights do still work with the skirts. However, there is still a slight impact to them. Here is a picture of them with skirts installed. For me it’s still worth it as the impact is minor. There is a slight bend to the design around the light in the front of the skirts. |

Posted these in another thread but keeping this main post updated. Here are the JBSpeed carbon roundels.
Install was a breeze took a little force to get them off but trim tools worked wonders. I reused the oem grommets and added my own 3m tape. Front and rear roundels Centercaps Steering wheel (this was an overlay/sticker) I’m happy with all of it and would buy these again. |

Tonight I ordered the radio bezel carbon piece because why not? Will be a few weeks before it arrives.
I did receive the automotive passion front rock guards today. I can see why these need an extra rivet for install. They come flat and not molded at all. They will form/curve as you install them…they are slightly flexible. But due to this they will likely need a third rivet installed per recommendation from another member here so they sit flush in the wheel well. Due to this I did order and extra handful of these rivets. Hoping to install these this weekend. |

Yeah the ones I bought came from AP. I though they looked different as the are more of a push in style versus the ones like above that require a rivet gun.
This weekend I’m going to compare them to the ones I got from IND for the painted reflectors I never installed. Kevin not sure how many you need but I’ll have extras from AP that I could send you if you want to pay for shipping. |

I purchased replacement carbon fiber mirror caps from Aliexpress. They are surprisingly great quality, but are made for mirrors that did not already have the wing, so they don't fit.
Any search, even on Amazon result in caps that are for mirrors that did not have the wing. Is there an inexpensive CF mirror cap for an LCI M40i that someone can confirm fits.

I think I understand correctly that you are after carbon mirror caps that have the horn part? If so have a look at these. They are dry carbon so OEM fitment at a fraction of OEM price. I have these on mine and can confirm the fit and quality is very good. Shipping times were good also. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIjwoV3 These are the actual caps fitted to my car.

Those look good too. You might check Autotechnik as well…when I bought mine they were running a 25% off sale making the mirror caps about $330. Otherwise I would have been looking at Ali or eBay.

The ones for $50 will be carbon skinned over ABS plastic shells? They’ll sit slightly prouder than OEM. The ones I posted a link to are dry carbon, no ABS and fit as per OEM. Yes they are more expensive than the ones you bought but they are 1/3 price of OEM for the same fitment.

I have the OEM MSport carbon fiber caps on my other BMW and they are nothing special. I can't believe you are arguing over "high end" AliExpress crap.

I’m not arguing with anyone, just trying to be helpful. I won’t bother with replying to you in the future then. Work it out for yourself

Did you purchase the GTX, RWS, or DTM lip from RW so I have a reference? I'm looking at RW as well. Fitment looks great and don't want to have fitment issues(if any) with Ali |

https://www.rwcarbon.com/bmw-f97-x3m...p-spoiler.html The DTM and newest GTX styles are far more aggressive looking. DTM is similar to mine but bigger and appears from their photos to stick out in front a bit more. GTX is a whole different style closer looking to those found on Ali with the side wings. |

I know danniexi had a lip from Ali or similar and could probably share but I also know he purchased a while ago. He’s got a thread of his build on here too you could find.

Installed the carbon radio bezel trim! Was a piece of cake. If install of the center console trim was easiest (1/10) I would rate this as a touch more difficult (2/10).
Hardest part was just trying to pry away the a/c vent trim as I wasn’t sure how hard to pull. Steps
