I would think these are cheap plastic parts with a carbon sticker or some really messed up weave. Why not simply take your current grill and hydro-dip it in "carbon?" I would think that would achieve the same look at a much lower price and at least you know it's going to fit properly since it's a true BMW part.

Unless you're talking about a roof or pieces like the CS carbon hood, everything is like that. Even more reason to buy cheaper alternatives. |

There is like 10 different ways to make a CF item all with varying degrees of quality. OEM items are always full CF with no fiberglass.If they used fiberglass you would see black on the back rather than CF weave. |

I had IND make a "shadow chrome" version of the F80 grille when I had my M3, and it looked amazing until I got the first rock chip. In hindsight, PPF is a must on any front end pieces.
