Now do I do the Amazon start button?
I also have the LCI. Would you be able to share the link for that? Thanks!

I am really happy with the looks for the money.
This looks sick is this dry or wet carbon? I have the same tan seats and want whatever matches them best. I think dry looks darker and better?

On AliExpress I bought it at $146.73. Black Friday coupons and savings really helped.

I vouch for Jogon. That is the seller/brand I bought from on AliExpress and the fitment/quality is perfect.

I’m happy with Jogon as well, was going all genuine but when seeing it was a screen out job decent on them for the dash piece. Very good quality and fit. Lower ones are genuine, dash and vent trim is Jogon.

Excellent, how much did you pay for the full set? Looks like it'll be north of $300 to get console/vents/dash done?

I have the ID8 set up so just wanna order the right bits.

Oh look at that! You've got the ID8 setup.
I'm trying to sort through their links right now (their customer service response time is super slow and they're not very helpful lol).

Can you point out what kit you bought from them? Trying to get everything (center console, vents, dash, side pieces)

Was it this by any chance? I think the G20 set should fit the G42 as well, I think Set A is the wet carbon one

Oh that's dirty lol they charge a lot more for ID8. The kit I quoted above is what they have 😭

$300 with shipping but it is a high quality dry carbon so I'm debating pulling the trigger.

(P.S. I found 2PAC doing your mom -- this name was my Xbox Live name when I was 15 so my answer is also young and dumb&#128517

It’s worth it, the piano black trim and silver trim on the steering wheel looks 10x better covered in CF.

Everything I bought sticks on with double-sided tape; they provide a few rolls of really thin 3m tape.

Overall it pretty nice. I am ordering the two pieces for the lower corners of the drives screen to complete it.

Has anyone seen any of these panels for the window controls panel?

Also does anyone know if anyone makes a trim kit for this steering wheel? Maybe for other models that use the same wheel?Name:  IMG_0293.jpeg
