What BMW models is this grille surround compatible with?

The TREVORA Pre-preg Carbon Fiber Grille Surround is compatible with the 2020 to 2023 BMW G30 5 Series Sedan LCI, the 2020 to 2023 BMW G31 5 Series Touring LCI, and the 2020 to 2023 BMW F90 M5 LCI. It is not confirmed for pre-LCI G30/G31 or F90 models, as the LCI update changed the front grille surround design and geometry.

Is this an overlay or does it replace the factory grille surround?

This is an overlay. The TREVORA carbon surround installs directly over the factory grille surround using pre-applied adhesive tape, leaving the factory piece in place beneath it. The factory surround does not need to be removed and the installation does not require any cutting or modification to the vehicle.

How does the installation work?

Clean the factory grille surround thoroughly to remove all dirt and debris. Apply the adhesive promoter to the factory grille surface and allow it to prepare the surface as directed. Remove the backing from the pre-applied adhesive tape on the carbon surround and carefully press it into position over the factory piece, ensuring correct alignment before full contact is made. Professional installation is recommended to achieve even adhesive contact and correct positioning across the full surface.

Does the installation require drilling or permanent modification to the vehicle?

No. The grille surround installs using pre-applied adhesive tape over the existing factory grille surround with no drilling, cutting, or permanent modification to the vehicle. The adhesive tape is a permanent system once cured, so removal after installation should be approached carefully to avoid affecting the factory grille surface.

Why is LCI specification required for fitment?

The LCI update to the G30/G31 5 Series and F90 M5 introduced changes to the front grille design and kidney surround geometry. The TREVORA surround is developed to the LCI grille profile specifically; it is not confirmed to fit the pre-LCI front grille surround which uses different dimensions and a different surface profile.

What is pre-preg carbon fiber and why does it produce a better finish than wet-laid carbon?

Pre-preg carbon fiber is manufactured by pre-impregnating the carbon fabric with a precisely controlled resin ratio before the component is formed and cured. This produces a consistent 2x2 twill weave and a uniform high-gloss surface finish compared to wet-laid carbon, where resin is applied manually and distribution is harder to control. On a grille surround that frames the front of the car and is viewed at close range from directly ahead, the consistency of the weave across the full surface is directly visible; pre-preg construction ensures it meets OEM-grade expectations.

Description

Trevora Facelift Carbon Grille Surround for G30 / F90 BMW 5 Series & M5

The grille surround is one of the most prominent visual elements of the G30 and F90 front end, framing the kidney grilles and read clearly at every approach. The TREVORA carbon overlay replaces the visual character of the factory surround without removing it, sitting directly over the original piece with pre-applied adhesive tape and a factory-clean finish that integrates with the surrounding bodywork at OEM-level alignment. Construction uses pre-preg carbon fiber with a 2×2 twill weave, the same manufacturing process used in BMW M Performance production parts. Pre-preg construction controls resin distribution precisely, producing consistent weave alignment and superior surface quality compared to wet-laid carbon. A UV-resistant clear coat protects the surface against ultraviolet degradation, maintaining the high-gloss finish over long-term outdoor exposure.

Carbon Fiber Construction

Constructed using high-quality autoclave-cured pre-preg carbon fiber for superior strength-to-weight ratio. Each component is engineered and prototyped in-house using advanced CAD modeling and 3D scanning to achieve precise factory-plus fitment. A UV-resistant clear coat protects the clean weave pattern and maintains finish quality over time, ensuring long-term durability in both daily driving and high-performance environments.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
