Correct. You could probably get it cheaper outside of IND or RG. Products are from IND which is listed as the same price from both sites. I have used other roundels in the past outside of IND and those just don't hold well over time due to the clear that is applied on the cheaper ones and also the carbon finish is just not the same quality. You can fix the clear by adding additional clear/ceramic/PPF on the cheaper CF roundels but can't mimic CF weaves from IND. That would be my only draw back to the cheaper CF. Hope that helps.

That has got to be the one of the best builds to make it onto the front page, I’ve never liked the gc but you have definitely changed my mind lol. I’ve seen a few m8s in SoCal (I live in San Diego), one was a Dakar Yellow GC (yep… wasn’t to bad actually), a frozen maybe skyscraper gray (im not good with the color names lol) m8 comp convertible, a gc that looked like the brown color on the 3, and the occasional coupe. There’s quite a few m cars in SD, if you were to do a meet in SoCal and have the right connections, you could make it pretty big lol. Thanks for posting!

The IND ones do look REALY nice, the price though is 8x the cheap ones. That's a really steep premium.

Thank you bro! 🙇‍♂️I've been eyeing this car since concept and waited over 3 years to get my hands on it. Once I saw the aftermarket support, I couldn't help myself but go balls to walls. I guess you could say "the modding itch" was real. Lol
