Carbon Fuel Door for E90

Anyone find a real carbon fuel door for the E90 that they like? I'd prefer not to wrap it. The only ones I've found are ebay, and I'm not sure if I can trust the quality of those.

Any specific reason why you'd prefer not wrapping it? The eBay stuff is always a hit or miss, wouldn't be surprise if it doesn't align properly when you install it.

It would just feel kinda fake to me. I know Bimmian sells one for the F30, but if I can’t get one with real carbon, I’m just gonna leave it black.

Obviously to each their own. I would leave it black. I personally have a black bimmer with carbon hood and plan to add other carbon accents as well. Black and (5d) carbon look great together. However I wouldn't go as far as a carbon gas cap, but that's just my preference.

no reason to purposely have an off color square on the side of your car.
