Any experience with xxii carbon bits?

I’ve seen the carbon inlet install on YouTube but I’m curious about the fit and finish and matching of real oem pieces.

Prices are very competitive, but will their products work for us meticulous types??

Saw a review on their CF air inlets by What's Your Forte a few days ago.

I'm hoping it's good given I have front vents, mirror caps, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and front lip on order from them. I am definitely rolling the dice, but good news is that I'll be able to provide a review on all those items in a few weeks...

I'm also interested to hear if this is a front lip that requires drilling, or if you can use the existing bolts like some of the other front lips. Let us know how the install goes.

Any m-performance style stuff is coming from the same mfr in China. Don't be naive in thinking all these pop up companies designed and released their own stuff at the same time.

I messaged the company and they said they produce the products at their own facility and sell directly to consumers. They do have resellers as well but they are the manufacturing party.

I got the smallest one, basically just a carbon replacement of the existing one. Not really that keen on big spoilers. I initially had an ordered car that included the exterior carbon pack, and then picked up an HEA car instead, and so was really mainly trying to replace that with this order (at quite a bit less money). Hopefully it to all turns out ok

Just got the inlets in, very well packaged. Double boxed and then each inlet is boxed again separately, wrapped and bubbled and each inlet is in a dust cover.

Quality looks great, will take some pics tmrw or later. Install this weekend

How about the install pics and impressions?

I am interested in the CF mirror caps, but they look like they made 'em with ABS and CF, not 100% CF, so that's a bum deal.

Haven't had a chance to get them installed yet, still in the box right now. Waiting on the rest of my CT carbon kit to be delivered so I don't need to take the bumper off 2x

I have those arriving tomorrow. I suspect those will be the worst of the lot - the OEM one are a full thing that includes turn signal from what I can tell, vs these as an actual cap. Still, wear a fraction of the cost of OEM, so rolled the dice

FWIW - they will be offering a dry carbon OEM mirror cover similar to OEM style in the near future. Preorders available now. (The one on their site now is ABS covered in CF).
