I'm considering getting these pieces in your picture. I got the handle...and like you didn't think it would fit at first.

I had some made that are about the same size, but I did cut the factory tip and made sleeves to accept the new tips - they are also ceramic black tips with gloss carbon sleeves that match the wheels and other exterior carbon.

Awesome, That's exactly the look i am looking for, I would prefer don't cut stock due warranty, etc but perhaps that is the easiest way to do it and all black.

Could you provide info where you order those?

I found a seller on eBay - they were making them for BMW’s and I asked if they could make them for me without the “M” logo and in custom lengths. They are 94mm in diameter and I would have to go back and get the exact measurements but the inside tip is longer than the outside. I think I recall the lengths being 90mm outer tips and 120mm or 140mm inner tip with the inlet being 2.5”. The inside pipe is mallet so you will need an adapter to go from 2 1/4” to 2 1/2. Basically pulled the tear muffler assembly off, cut the tips of, evened up the pipes and then welded the sleeves in the inside. The last thing to do is make final
adjustments which were made using original measurements so the new tips come
out exactly as far as the originals.

Yes they fit perfectly as a cover without tape or removing any part of the wheel. It only took me about 60 seconds to put it on just right. My car is Dark Sapphire. Well, you already have the orange paddles...so I'd think more orange would look cool!

I must say the orange color looks phenomenal in how it changes based on natural light levels. The pictures don't do it justice.

Be advised, I placed my order through Madness Auto back in December and the parts just arrived last week

That’s where I am going to purchase from. At least you got the parts. Patience is a virtue?

I also used Madness and very satisfied with result. Waiting on door switch covers due end of April. Also got the steering wheel rim covers which appear to be in stock. I just returned a duplicate shipment of the center console parts so they should have them in stock in a few days if you don't want to wait. I shipped today.

I got a couple pieces directly from Koshi. They first insisted on a wire transfer, but when I told them that my bank charges $60 for an overseas wire and that would change my mind on the order, they accepted paypal. Took about 11 days to Florida.

Do the center console parts cover the OEM? Or do you have to remove them. Thanks for that info!

Yes, they cover OEM. Most folks use the thin 3M tape to adhere.

Used tape on 2 of the pieces and one snapped on firm. Took longer to peel back of tape than anything else.

Did you think about the top and bottom steering wheel covers as well? I purchased the carbon bits in black for my car. Might pulll the trigger on the cf upper and lower. However, I don't see the seems. I wonder where they are.

The dash board trim pieces, ie gear surround, heater surround and upper are replacement parts, well they were on mine.
