Interior trim change options
Hey all, have SG / tartufo with light aluminum trim and I'm just not feeling the trim - any recs for alternatives? Came across the autotecknic option below which would match my exterior cf parts (diffuser, side sills, front splitters). Any thoughts?

I had it on my G30 since I helped AutoTecknic with the production and mold making.
I know that you guys prefer to have a full replacement, but unfortunately, BMW doesn't make this option to be easily done. BMW plastic welded those trims into door panel instead of just clips and screws. So, in order to get a whole piece replacement, the only option would be original BMW and you will break millions of plastic weld carefully and reweld the new replacement into the door panel. Before AutoTecknic and I decided to make them, there were some Chinese brand that is already available. We tried it and it was off and gaps all over the place. So, by using my interior pieces, we have made 3D scan and a mold to make the pieces. I have had the first prototype installed in my car for almost a year now. We are working to get more shots by next week or so. Trust me, this is the best option available other than Vinyl wrap, which has different visual effect than the real carbon fiber. This is made of real carbon fiber, dry vacuumed. Not plastic kind fake carbon fiber.

Swing by and take a look of it yourself on my car and report back to the community. So it won't be a biased opinion since I am AutoTecknic's reseller.

Not that far. Just 3000 miles.

Here is the picture I found when I was doing the test fitting before the whole assembly re-attached to the car doors.

Feel free to swing by. The set I have in my car is the prototype. You won't be getting the base like the picture that I post. You are still using your original trims, the AutoTecknic is just overlay held by 3M Double Sided tape.

Here is a quick picture of AutoTecknic's Dry Carbon Interior overlay.
It has been installed for 6 months. No fading or cracking, even after a few washes.

That actually looks pretty good, does it impact the ambient lights at all? How thick are the overlays?
On a side notr, will post some long overdue pics of SG on Tartufo but can't figure out the most efficient way of uploading the pics, can I do it directly from my iPhone? |

I'm also curious about the thickness of the overlays and how well they fit with the trim. Do they actually look stock, or do they look like stick on's I suppose is the question…

I never measure it, but it is as thin as it's possibly made. I believe it is less than 1mm thick. My local customers who seen it always thought it was a complete replacement pieces. But after explanation and showing the details, they were also shocked that it is a stick-on.

I don't think anyone bought a set yet.
Maybe I can work out special deal for being the first.
