Aliexpress Carbon Fiber interior Install and thoughts

I had been going back and forth on the M Performance Dry Carbon interior trim set. I really prefer wet carbon and the m3 parts cost about $1700. I have the M Performance carbon front lip, spoiler and door sills on order and wanted to have the interior match.

I had a gift card that needed to be spent so I rolled the dice with the real carbon overlays from AliExpress

Here's the link https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...40594c4d0OI7V4

I paid $177+ tax so $189 out the door. Currently the item is on sale for $155-60 plus tax for the next 48 hours

I ordered 12/27 and received the item today 1/12

Items came packaged very well. It's absolutely real carbon fiber. Very thin and super light.

Parts looked great. No flaws that I could see. Installation was super easy. They provided 2 rolls of "3m" tape

Test fits were perfect.

First things first make sure to clean the parts that you will be sticking too as well as the back side of the carbon fiber. I used some alcohol wipes.

Only tool required is a pair of scissors to cut the tape.

I was by myself so I only took one video showing how I installed the item balancing the camera and staying out of the way was super difficult. Starting the tape allows you to hold the carbon trim in place and apply a little pressure you can get the fitment you want. You'll see what I mean in the pictures below.



You just need to take your time with the center pieces because you want to make sure they are lined up good so the cup holder door doesn't rub. Make sure you hold it in place and try a few times.

We'll see how they hold up as time goes on but currently for the price I'm super happy with the results.

Happy modding! Also clearly I'm a horrible camera man I will hopefully update with some better shots tomorrow in the sun light
