Any thoughts about aftermarket interior trim kits on etsy or eBay?

I mean kind of looks cool in the pics, they also have an alcantera version with M stitching. Might be kind of cheesy, I don't know. Also no idea how hard to swap out all the panels. Mine are the veneer. Held up incredibly well to be honest. A few cracks here and there on same in the clear, but still looks okay

X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Yeah! Links! I have cracks mostly on the center console trim. If I find a perfect one, I would swap it out. It's the outer door black trim between doors that drives me nuts!

Sorry, thought I put in the links

Might look kinda cool. I wonder how hard to install and if I want to switch back.

Vinyl wraps are a LOT cheaper. I wrapped the cracked wood door and dash trims. If you look close you can still see the cracks but IDGAF. I have enough left to do the center console but dread getting that bitch out...

Lol I don't blame you!

I actually need new door pulls as all the rubber coating on them has gone to poo.

Any recommendations where to get new door pulls?
