I Finish installing the rest of the carbon to my engine compartment. I just need to clean it up a little bit more. I also want to get the CSF intercoolers in red crinkle color

Thank you guys ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ I appreciate itโ€ฆ Like I said in a prior thread Iโ€™m no mechanical but Iโ€™m not scared to work on my own truck. I do most of the installation myself.

Are those side carbon trims from Alibaba? If so, hows the fitment? I saw them and was curious on how well they fit.

VipTouge's user avatarVipTouge The carbon trims I circled in (yellow) fits great!! The only thing I had to do is open the holes with a dremel a little wider so the clips go in and stay in perfectโ€ฆthe carbon trims I circled in (red) are rubbing against the (yellow)carbon trims. I sent the supplier a video of the issue they agreed to exchange it but right now thereโ€™s a holiday at china so I think I might bring out the dremel and just shave off the small part that hits. Itโ€™s not such a big deal

Love the intake and the brace, rest of it not so much. Glad you like it and props on doing it yourself.

Very nice! I love it. We are doing quite similar engine bays, so I must share mine.

Glad you guys like they way your engine bays turned out. I still don't understand the hype around carbon fiber?

Ha! I believe it :D. Cars are so personal what someone doesn't get is another mans masterpiece :D. Again I'm glad you guys like it, I know how much of a pain in the ass removing those pieces are. Ha.

which supplier did you get it from?

I have a 2022 X5M Comp and bought the Blackline cover caps. My oil cover can did not fit. Did you need to do any modding to get yours to fit?

Jason082882's user avatarJason082882 maybe they sent you the wrong one??. All my blackline stuff fit great. You should double check with them.
