Can you we get an update on how the quality of that product is holding up?

No issues whatsoever!

Emails with the seller were appeared somewhat sketch (English not their first language) but the product came as promised and well packaged.

Wow! That looks amazing! How much did you say this cost you?

Can’t say as I had worked a deal with the seller below their asking price on eBay but I bet you can get it for 650 shipped.

The doors usually get the most action from being grazed and/or vibrated.

Are the doors still solid?

Thanks in advance -- also do you have a link to the ebay store?

Does anyone know where I could get this trim? I looked at the link from page 1 and where he got his trim but unable to find it on the site.

It links directly to the item and only let you pay in Etransfer type methods, seems a little sketchy. Wish I knew what ebay store it was at least some buyer protection there.

You can find JC Sportline trim on Alibaba. Trim has held up great and no quality issues thus far.

The area around the central control (ie shifter) comes out along with the upholstery surrounding it in a pretty big piece. The control unit itself comes out, then you can separate out the upholstery pieces from the existing trim & light bars.

It doesn't seem "that bad", if you have interior trim tools and some micro fiber clothes to protect stuff. I would worry most about accidentally yanking something and destroying a ribbon connector somewhere.

My trim has held up and looks fantastic. When I purchased from JC Sportline, they did ask for a photo of the steering setup (LH or RH) to confirm trim set. I’d still recommend them and would definitely buy again.

I would wonder how would the oem trim hold up underneath this stick on CF trim if I need to ever remove the CF trim. Any thoughts?

I plan on using a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive before removal. But honestly, if I’m getting rid of this truck as a trade in, I’m not concerned about how much $$ I’m going to lose from a dealer on it. They probably won’t even notice it’s that good.

I ordered same product from ali-express. I can order individual pieces. Will take pictures once arrives

Glad to hear it held up man, what kind of climate you live in if you don't mind me asking and how long has it been installed to date? What the thickness of this stuff would hate to feel that the start button is sunken in. Still wanting to pull the trigger on this -- maybe the summer!

I'm still waiting for my order.

The start button isn't surrounded by the overlay trim as seen in the pictures.

I live in Washington state. The trim is paper thin and very flexible when applyingz Very pleased with my decision and would do it again.

[mikekay]

That's awesome thanks all!!

I found what I think is that exact carbon fiber trim set on ebay. Looks like a few China-based sellers all selling the same kit.

One question - I put in my 2023 X5 45e and for most it says this trim wont fit.

QU - is the interior of the 20/21 X5 40i any different from the interior of the 45e?

I can’t imagine it’s any different - except maybe near the gearshift knob in how many drive modes there are.

[bluesmachine]

Can someone kindly chime in on the center console area and if the 45e and the 40i are identical? I am about to pull the trigger on this carbon fiber trim.

thanks in advance.

I highly doubt there is any difference between the models aside from the buttons on the console. The trim goes around the console.

I'm getting my pieces today. Will take pictures before install. I ordered individual pieces ( centre console, Dash trim $115 CDN). I plan on wrapping the door trim since its 4 small pieces ( 1 per door) and easy to remove.
I ordered from Ali-express. They all come from China and the same factory.

[bluesmachine]

Thank you that would be great. The set from JCS Sportline or Alibaba complete w all pieces is around $700 +/-.

Might be good to look at it with just a few pieces installed which wont be as expensive.
