Anyone Seen a Dry Carbon Trim for Stereo/Climate Control Unit?

Has anyone come across a dry carbon trim piece for the F22 stereo/climate control unit for sale online? I am looking for something similar to the link below but made of dry carbon instead of glossy carbon in order to match the M Performance dry carbon interior trim kit. I am not interested in buying a sheet of dry carbon and wrapping myself, but I would also consider a pre-made dry carbon overlay with adhesive if a full trim piece is not available.

I believe this is dry carbon: https://faserschmiede.de/produkt/rad...er-2er-carbon/. I purchased the vents they had in stock previously and they matched the m performance set perfectly.

Also, I found an alcantara one that works very well with it.

Thanks for sharing these options! That alcantara radio/climate control trim looks awesome and really gives the center of the dash a unique, exotic look. Ordering this one!

I noticed you had a posted a thread stating you had a difficult time getting the trim piece out. What did you find to be the best technique to get the trim removed?

That connector gave me more trouble than any other mod on the car. This video gives the best explanation of how to remove it:

.

It was a nightmare regardless, but worth it in the end.

Also, make sure you ordered the right one for your car. I have an m240 and the trim designs are slightly different from the m235.

These guys have some open pore stuff too https://shop.ecd-performance.de/de/b...7/m2/interieur

They also have some mate standard finish stuff, and alcantara options too. These guys and the already linked faserschmiede are the only two I know of that replicate the open pore finish.
