JC Sportline Carbon Fiber Interior Kit?
Does anyone have any feedback whatsoever regarding either JC Sportline or this particular interior kit?
http://www.jcsportline.net/en/product-detail-4419.html I've been looking for an interior kit with gloss carbon fiber over the BMW flat carbon from M Performance but I haven't been able to find anything except this. Anyone have this?? They quoted me just under $500 total after shipping and all ($415 for the kit alone), this seems really inexpensive compared to other CF kits so I'm concerned about quality, fitment, etc. If anyone has any feedback whatsoever PLEASE let me know before I pull the trigger on this |

If you make a reverse image search on google you can see how that photo is taken from chinese sellers.
I just saved you about 200$. It costs half of what they are asking for. People need to know that 99% of the cosmetic mods come from china and these sites are just resellers that catch people who arent smart buyers |

If it's from China it's likely they're just stick on overlays and not replacement parts. Would not touch personally.

You can find the same here :
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Carb...828432789.html But it's only "stickers", really far from real m-perf carbon pieces. I just upgaded my F30 with all m-perf interior parts, cost much but quality worth the money spent. |

I've thought about maybe getting the M Performance kit and then having a custom place do the clear coating on the carbon fiber so it will have the gloss finish, wonder how that would turn out. Sure would be a cool project I don't think anyone has done that before |

Buy precut stickers from China for $400
Buy a $30 roll of vinyl spend a few days wrapping the interior yourself. It's not that's hard just takes patience. Or you're balling out just buy the M Performance OEM and have it gloss coated yeah haha. |

Yea haha I wanna save up for the M performance one I'm thinking and then find a place to gloss coat it but if I end up liking the matte carbon I'll keep it like that.... until I get tired it and want gloss lol

Another great option is hydrodipping, you'll get something that will look very nice and no texture compared to wrap.
Should also be in the middle of the Chinese stick on and wrap. |

You could clearcoat the oem trims, but you’re going to need a lot of clearcoat to get them smooth. Another way of achieving the same result is to have a few layers of resin first, sand it smooth and then clearcoat.
Another option is to wrap your own trims in real carbonfiber. It’s easy and cheaper than buying carbon trims. I did this with my mirror covers and plan on doing this with my interior trims soon. |
