    You know, I was thinking you were in the EU before lol Because you were concerned with VAT. We don't pay the VAT in the US. They shouldn't charge you the VAT. I'm not sure how their trim pieces look cosmetically. But the door cards that I have seen from them had a lot of weave imperfections especially around the bends. Nothing too crazy, but it's noticeable if you look. But their CSL airbox looked perfect. I'm talking about Karbonius.

    I don't think I know of any other one. But since the trims are cosmetic for the most part, I'm more concerned about the epoxy/clear coat used and the way the weave looks vs. the minimal weight savings.

    I did not realize US purchasers did not pay VAT. That change the economics, although duties do apply.

    Did you directly see the Karnonius door cards as opposed to images? I am looking at the 8-piece trim set for my ZHP.



    I received a reply from NVD Autosport describing their manufacturing process. In essence, the same process as Rogue.


    Dear: Sir

    We can do the under value invoice so that you do not need to pay the import tax in USA.

    Our production process starts from:

    1. prepare the core parts ==> clean + prepare the surface+ put in the heating room for 1-2 days to make sure that the surface is completely dry

    2. Laminate the real carbon fiber sheet + put in room temp for few days then put in the heating room again

    3. Coating with our in house coating formula 3 - 4 layers ( each layers will have a time break) ==> put in the room temp for few days then put in the heating room again

    4. do the finishing touch

    Please let us know.

    Thank you

    FYI there is a member on the M3Forum that refinish’s trim if you want something other than CF. He does really good work.

    I have reviewed the ebay products; additionally I'll look at the M3Forum member's service.


    Here is a reply from Karbonius:

    Hi Mattthew,
    sorry for delay in back to you, the person who usually reply the emails is on leave and I have not too much free time to reply.
    I think most of our customers are paying around a 5% to 8% of the amount on the invoice for taxes in USA.
    About shipping costs I´m not sure, but you can check on the shop, you can try to make a buy putting your postal code in the required fiels and the system will show you the shipping costs.
    And about the exchange rate, the system also show prices in Euros, regardless of how the dollar is..
    Please let me know if you have any other doubt.
    Regards

    Yes, I have seen them directly/physically. An entire batch of like 10 door cards. Same with the roof, and airbox. I come into contact with a lot of CF parts lol They look WAYYYY better than the Status Gruppe door cards, that's for sure.

    Thanks for the lead. I contacted that member to confirm and he PM'd me stating that he did not do carbon fiber. I concur his work looks excellent.
