Mixing carbon fiber from different company's

Anyone running miss matched carbon fiber? The spoiler from Mode and front lip from RW and defuse from another company? I'm ask because I like different things from couple different company's and wonder if they will match or will all the carbon fiber look different? Any info would be great

Most companies these days produce in 2x2 cf so they will match

Agree, many are very similar, but remember, the roof on the M5 is carbon, so you have a 'starting point'.

Personally, I'd stick to the same for the rear diffuser and spoiler, but no one would notice a different manufacturers front lip.

I have all M-Performance on the rear and a Sterckenn lip on the front.

Side blades are my next possible purchase and I would probably stick to M-Performance, but also considering gloss black rather than carbon.

I'm not 100% sure, but think the G30's fit and come primed or gloss black.

Just looking into it currently, but I imagine in the end I will go for the carbon to be fair.

I should say, I'm not a massive fan of aftermarket, so tend to focus on OEM products generally.
