The kit that he ordered includes CF pieces for the vent surrounds as well (I believe). Pretty sure he ordered this kit: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...Cquery_from%3A

...and worked with the seller to make sure they included the trim cover for the retractable lid in the center console as part of the deal.

Same! I’m curious about this myself. Does it leave that area exposed like it it’s shown in that picture? Otherwise it looks great! Can’t even tell it’s an overlay. Thanks for posting pics!

The kit includes pieces for the silver also. I just decided not to use them.

It fits great. In the pic it wasn’t taped down yet and we had just driven the car to see how it looked. Wanted to make sure we liked it.

Thank you for clarifying. I think I’m gonna pull the trigger once my x5 arrives.

This one also stood out to me. Looks rough.

Looks great. Please post final pics once you've taped them in place. We have the black wood trim and I'm trying to decide if carbon is the way to go or leave as is.

I am too ocd to deal with the minor imperfections. The bmw is so nicely put together that it seems a shame to use aftermarket adhesive all over it.

I may reach out and ask if he'll just sell me this piece. I rather like the matte poplar and would be really worried about sticking something on top of it as it seems a bit fragile.

It looks like the same seller has a specific listing for just the two trim overlays that cover the silver trim:
