Thanks for sharing.

Hopefully they don't shrink on you in the heat. Mine (black / silver cf combo) would last a couple of days then I would return to the car and they would be misshapen, especially the steering wheel roundel covers. I had them send me a new set and that one had the same issues. I ended up buying replica roundels in carbon fiber - no stickers - on ebay. You might consider this if yours don't hold up, although I am still unable to find a true roundel for the trunk due to its concave shape. Good luck!

Where did you purchase your overlays? I have bimmian.com matte black vinyl overlays on my wheels, hood/trunk roundels, and steering wheel roundels and they have been fine in the Alabama heat here. Parked outside 24/7

Bimmian.com, believe it or not. Even the replacements had that issue, which they kindly sent free of charge after I sent them photos of the misshapen (over time) overlays. It mainly occurred on the steering wheel, though. I will try and find the pictures and post them.

I've had my bimmiam overlays for 2 years now.....Honestly one of the most durable cosmetic mods I have done.
