I found a few threads on trim overlay for the pre-LCI G05. Has anyone seen anything available for the LCI (2024). I have wood and would like to switch to carbon fiber or something like it.

Thanks

I've searched aliexpress and alibaba and can't find anything for LCI in terms of carbon fiber overlays. Give it some time and I'm sure something will be available.

Checked again tonight and look what I found....LCI carbon overlays on Aliexpress. Figured it was just a matter of time.

Thanks for finding it. I just ordered it - hope it is as good as the last kit.

Nice. Please post pictures when you get it installed. The only weird thing is it appears to be missing the piece for the cupholder door/lid.

I’m hoping the picture is wrong. I saw that.

To be a viable option this must include the cupholder cover/lid. However, the listing states "...13 piece" and per the photo, there are 13 individual pieces shown in the kit without the cover. Sadly, it's a non-starter without the cover.

I ordered it, I will let everyone know what I receive. Says it won't arrive for a few weeks.

There are other options if the cover is not included. There are a few listings for the center console piece and cover sold by themselves. Worst case, you buy that for another 60 and hope the carbon weave is close enough to the other pieces.

Excited to see what you get and how it turns out. My x40i is code 111 right now, and I will definitely be looking at CF overlays once I take delivery.

Sorry everyone, I bailed on the order. Watched the video and didn't see the cover. Also saw the seller only had two feedback ratings. I'll wait until more sellers pop up.

That one is pre-LCI. Are they definitely the same in that area?

Talked to the seller and have ordered it again. He is throwing in the center console cover to the deal. Sent me a picture and it looks good. Wish me luck!

Can’t wait to see pics of it installed.

Trim has arrived and it is really nice. Shipping was amazing, quick and well packaged. I have laid the pieces in the X5 and they look great. Pics coming once taped in.

Here are the pics. Note the trim is in place but final taping isn't done. Fit is perfect. Curious what everyone thinks

[BigVegas17]

Looks pretty great to me! Thanks for posting pics btw.

I'm curious how thin the pieces are and if it looks or feels "off" in terms of the depth that the overlay adds to the trim pieces. It doesn't look "bulky" (if that's even the right term...) based on those pics but curious if in person it's thin enough to largely seem virtually unnoticeable to a passing eye or hand.

Thanks again for sharing.

It is very thin. Thin enough that one of the edges gave me a paper cut, need to be careful walking around with it. You do not notice it is an overlay at all.

I'm actually looking for an overlay for that silver trim that goes around the vents.
The silver trim is picked up in the side mirrors and is really distracting. I'd love to cover it with a darker overlay to minimize it.

Looks good! For this piece, it seems like it doesn't cover it completely. Is it because you haven't adhered it fully to the OEM trim? Would definitely love to see it once it's all installed. Thanks for sharing.
