Holy crap are those rock chips on the Dongsai grille? I like the gloss black but I don't want it to look like swiss cheese after 1 month.

I don't have any rock chips at all on the grill. Could be a reflection.

Found these guys on Alibaba, who seem to be reselling Dongsai, but 1/3 of the price.

WARNING: I cannot vouch for this vendor and it could be a total SCAM. I decided to be the guinea pig. Will let you guys know what the quality is like. If it turns out to be legit, it would be a hell of a deal (which is why im so dubious). Proceed at your own risk.

Ended up ordering most pieces. Heres the invoice with shipping to Germany included (keep in mind this doesn't include VAT, which I will probably have to pay).

I’m genuinely interested what you get and if the quality is good. I hope they are because obviously don’t want to see people get bad stuff but the person shouldn’t have told you that was Dongsai product.

Just passing along my findings.
Fantastic info. Thank you so much for the research.

Honestly, barring some obvious defects, I’ll still be happy, simply due to the low price.

Is there a knock off of the BMW M Performance G82 M4 Carbon Side Marker. The $1150 price tag for the M Performance one is a little too steep.

I also contacted them and she told me that the cheaper ones you see online at those prices are the bad quality ones. She then proceeded to quote me the same prices as Dongsai for the "higher quality" ones.

Ok guys. Finally got everything in. Shipping was insanely quick. Only took about 4 days to Germany, with FedEx Express. The packaging was very good and everything came nice and snug.

I will let you be the judge based on pictures alone (see my previous post for everything that I ordered and price). TLDR, everything looks perfect to my naked eye, and the ONLY thing I'm taking the L for is the spoiler (see last pic).

Honestly, for what I paid, the value is absolutely insane and unbeatable, but again Ill let you be the judge.

Has anyone inquired about knock-off carbon interior bits? Specifically, I'm looking for the Forged Carbon look.

Installed the rear bumper splitters and diffuser today. Fit is 99% perfect. I did some preliminary tests on the rest of the pieces, and they all seem to fit well too.

I can't stress how insane it is that I got nearly all the carbon pieces for 1k bucks.

That is actually quite impressive. I contacted her and seemed like the "cheaper" parts all had some sort of defect to them but looks like yours made it out fine. Going to give it a shot once my G80 is delivered!
