Yup! I had the same thought initially, when I reached out.

Did you order from them? if so, how long did it take to get the parts? I would love to order the carbon fiber radio surround part. I wonder if they take Paypal? Thanks.

I did and paid via PayPal. I can't remember how long exactly it took, definitely over a month, but to be fair they estimated it would take at least long when I placed the order.

Edit:

This was end of last year, maybe supply chain is more reliable now

Thank you for the info. So they are definitely legitimate? I tried to checkout from their site but there is no option to ship to the US. Did they send you a PayPal invoice?

I ordered from them back in January. Easy to deal with although it would take a day for a response due to time difference. Nice pieces! Shipping was a little slower than I would have liked and the tracking wasn't very good, but the pieces showed up and I'm happy.

I did the radio surround and the steering wheel trim.

That’s great to know! Thanks for the feedback.

Google translate is your friend when dealing with them.

Lol! I’m confused but do you sell the trim? Lol just re read the post and it seems like Faserschmiede sells the vent surrounds now?

[Maximus_M2]

Btw, they sent me a PayPal invoice and they said it would take up to 2 months to receive it. Oh well, let the wait begin!

Thank you! however, I found another company in Germany (Benda Interiors) that offer the same product and ordered through them last year.

For the RHD guys - make sure you tell either suppliers so they can get the correct part in, as they are different to the LHD vents.

Very easy job, 30 minutes tops.

From memory:

1. Pry off the top trim containing the two vents (start with driver's side). This will reveal two T20 torx screws holding the faceplate to the dash.
2. Remove the two T20 torx screws holding the radio to the dash.
3. Remove radio assembly and unclip the harness.
4. Behind the radio/climate control assembly, there are four T15 torx screws holding the stock faceplate to the the radio and climate control buttons; unscrew them.
5. Unclip the controls from the faceplate (probably the most difficult part) and swap face plates. I used a jewelers flathead screwdriver to help unclip the controls.

Reverse and put everything back together.

DON'T Try to force the upper trim back when reinstalling
DO reinstall the upper trim by starting with the ends first, then the middle. The driver's end and passenger's end should clip/snap into place without much force, the middle should also snap in easily afterwards. There's a curvature to the dash so if you try to reinstall it from end to end it won't line up and you could potentially damage the clips.

Looks amazing! If anyone is looking to pick some up, I have the door handle and the window/mirror pieces I have been meaning to sell. I never got around to installing them. PM if you are interested.
