Ha, yeah it's a full carbon fibre and I got it off ebay coming from China. Quality is excellent and has held up without any issues. The seller does not have it anymore but here is a similar one:

First time out of the barn after a long winter of 'lock down projects'! LN Engineering deep sunp, seats, DB Carbon wheel and PDK shifter, Girodisc rotors, etc, etc. Gotta stop spending $$!!!

If I may ask what Conti’s did you have? Eagerly waiting for my Extreme Contacts to wear out so I can get some Michelin’s.

I finally upgraded the non-Bose stereo and speakers. I added a Kenwood receiver and Blam door speakers. What a difference in sound quality.

Good chance I will join the ownership club on Friday if I’m lucky.

I’m going to spend what it would cost to have paint correction and ceramic done to buy the tools and try it myself. On my daily Ford Focus first, of course.

Can you share details on the speaker upgrades? Sizes? Direct replacement, or were modifications necessary to get the replacements to fit. Much appreciated!

The speakers are the same size as the door speakers. They are a direct replacement for the stock speakers. Thankfully there were no mods necessary.
