Looks nice, but I would be concerned that it wouldn't match the pattern of the stock CF.

(Also, this feels a bit like sponsored posting...a grey area between vendor classifieds and a satisfied customer.)

It actually matches, I talked to them. I'm pulling the trigger on these soon as well.

FYI: I sell clinical software to hospitals for living, I don't work for these guys. When I find good products, I research them and put them on my car then sharing them with others. So think of me as an early adopter, who test new products while others are too afraid to try them out. Then I share my reviews with others to save them time and trouble, that's what a forum is for (to share knowledge).

Here's a sample thread of mine, 34k views and over 40 confirmed customers. I did get a discount for writing that review, but I told the vendor my review would be brutally honest with pros and cons. People are very happy with the Bimmertech amp and appreciated my posts. They also had a discount for referencing my thread, so win-win.

Your knowledge is appreciated, of course! But trading discounts for reviews amounts to a paid review, which is a form of affiliate marketing. I guess I am just sensitive to keeping discussion areas free of commerce...easier to know what to trust if the reviewer isnt profiting.

Let's put it this way. I would buy the product regardless, why not share my experience to help others from the trouble of doing the research and receive a discount for my time to take photos/write a review. I have refused to write reviews for crappy products before, and returned the product for a refund.

Like RaceChip for example. No one is willing to give it a shot. I might do it and test it on the track, writing a review and document the install. I'm still a paying customer (discounted or not) that puts my own car at risk. Don't you think I deserve an incentive to be a guinea pig, putting my car at risk, taking time for photo shoot/reviews? If you find products that you like, you can do the same. As long as you write an honest review, others will consider the product and wouldn't give a damn if you received a discount to take your time to write that review.

You are the helping the product company, the potential customers, and yourself. Everyone wins. I don't get what the issue is..

Nice, so this is whole piece swap, not stick on fake carbons. Do we have to ship our own to them?

Whole piece swap. They vacuum shrink wrap and bake a layer of real carbon fiber on the OEM pieces, then clear them. There is a core charge, you must ship in your OEM ones for the deposit refund. Contact them directly for more info.

I know there are few members said the X5M interior doesn't fit a six figure car because the few interior plastic pieces, so this should solve that concern.

This isn't the same, it's carbon fiber instead. I really like the M Performance alcantara upgrade. M Performance sells center carbon fiber piece separately from the upgrade.

Alcantara steering wheel too.

I know, I have all those pieces in my X5M. I didn't want to over carbon fiberize the inside. I like the look of having a equal balance of Leather, Alacantra, and Carbon Fiber. My 991 as the same look inside.
