New to F10 / the forum , looking for CF parts supplier - 2016 535d Msport

Hey guys, just bought my first f10 and am looking for some recommendations on who to get some parts from. Also just introducing myself, been a BMW owner since my e34 in high school 10 years back. Just leased a 2016 535d M sport last week. It was an executive demo car with 5k miles, space gray with mocha interior, nearly fully loaded and I'm very impressed. Will post more photos once the mods I ordered start showing up, for now all I've received are matte grills and painted reflectors. I'm looking for your insight on the following:

CF mirror covers or replacement caps
CF trunk lip spoiler
LCI with PDC side marker trim in either black or CF (can't find anywhere!)

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I did some research but haven't seen many reviews for these specific products. I look forward to being active on this board, really thrilled with the f10 so far

Haven't really tried anybody yet, didn't mod my last car much so I'm out of touch with the trusted / quality vendors. Thanks for the recommendation though, will definitely check them out. Last car was mineral gray, and I'm so much happier with the space gray!

Very nice ride! I just bought the same car, but in Dark Graphite Metallic! LOVING the diesel!
I just bought some 20" BBS CH-R's and black grilles. What mods are you planning?

Thanks everyone. Yeah I love the diesel, it's my first one so the difference is very noticeable. But mostly a lot of CF accents (splitters, trunk lip, mirrors, maybe roof, etc). I'd do rims (love the CH-Rs), but since it's a lease I'm not sure yet. Guess I could resell at the end so it'd make sense. Open to suggestions! Just looking for the most respected vendors, don't want cheap replicas. Will be posting more photos as the mods roll in

Added 20% tint all around, now need to order black sidemarkers and install my IND painted reflectors. The chrome/Amber is terrible!

Thanks for the recommendation! They have the mirror covers I want and possibly a trunk lip. I assume they have a good reputation?
