Indiv G8X Drivers side Carbon Vent | Install & Review

I'll start off by saying - What a nice touch!

OEM interior carbon bits are perfection - BMW nailed it.

But....

They forgot the drivers side vent - Why is this piece not carbon....
iND has the perfect solution for it.

Indiv G8X M3/M4 Pre-LCI Carbon Air Vent.
The quality of this piece is fantastic.
Packaging is mint | Carbon Weave is flawless |
Install is quick & simple - Great install video available on iND's site.
Fitment is perfect!!!

It's a great touch.

Right? I dont get it. That little area lacking carbon does not affect me in any way. I would rather use that money for a P3 gauge in that location.
Or use that money towards a mid pipe, lip, spoiler. I dont know. But 500 bucks could go SO much further than this.

No hate OP. I just wouldnt spend over 99 bucks for that.

I hear you... It's not cheap but...

It's that little bit of extra that's 100% always in your sight when your behind the wheel.

It's a great touch...

To each their own
First hand seeing the quality/fitment IMO its truly worth it.

But truthfully - interior MOD wise - Its a must have for me.
Its the details that make the difference
The precise quality & fitment that do the trick.

Your builds right into the details & this is right along side that.

Your Wheels are epic | You spent more on your garage/garage floor then most would spend on a kitchen reno (Its really nice btw I love it)

Add to Cart - This is right inline with what you need next hehe

Totally agree. We all value things how we like. I completely respect that.

Looks good, but now it's asymmetric. You need carbon on the right side to balance it out.

If a good quality piece becomes available I'm up for it.

100% this, which is why it doesn’t come like that from the factory.

Yeah I’m confused why people think that carbon is “missing” from that area, since the rest of the top of the dash that flows across is gloss black and screens. Only the lower dash trim and console are carbon.

The wedge of carbon on the one side is what looks out of place IMO. Price is pretty wild too.

the choice to leave it black makes sense to me from the bmw design. it is to reflect the transition from the dash the center screen opposite side. I don’t see this as a mistake or that carbon was left out. i’m a fan of putting carbon in as many places as possible, but in this case I’ll pass.
