Default Defroster trim carbon fiber peel

Just an FYI. I got carbon fiber defroster trims and speaker cover from DC Carbon. Also picked up key ring and light trim while I was at it. These are full carbon fiber pieces not just sticky tape like was on the defroster trims. Good communication, beautiful pieces and perfect fit problem solved and never to return. Thank you Danial.

it looks different than original, but original is really bad design with poor reliability. how is the reflection given it is gloss surface of the whole module?

Its different then original because the entire piece is carbon not just the narrow tape strip. Personally it looks quite a bit better. Ill have to get back to you on reflection since I just installed them today.

have to agree. OEM sucks, and all my after market CF stuff is great. It's apparently not rocket science after all

Quick update. The defroster trims are perfect and recommended 100% but my car was in direct sun for a few hours and with the heat the center speaker cover changed shape and is no longer sitting quite flush. Its not a huge deal but you might be better off staying away from the speaker cover in carbon fiber because its a smaller part and apparently can warp.

Heated it with blow dryer and its back to perfectly flush. Lets see if it stays that way.
