Introducing LYTE Carbon Fibre

What is LYTE?

LYTE is a new sub-brand from the renowned aftermarket parts manufacturer, TRE. They're all about making TRE's high-quality carbon fibre products more accessible to a wider audience. Within LYTE, there are different product ranges:

• Standard LYTE: Offers more affordable versions of parts from TRE's back catalog, with a 1-year warranty.
• LYTE+: This is where things get interesting! LYTE Plus features bespoke kits and utilises pre-preg carbon fibre (more on that below), all backed by a 2-year warranty.

The LYTE+ Carbon Fibre Advantage

This particular body kit falls under the LYTE Plus range, meaning you're getting some serious quality. Let's talk about the carbon fibre itself:

• Wet Carbon Fibre: This is the key to the kit's affordability. Wet carbon fiber is a more cost-effective manufacturing process compared to pre-preg carbon fiber. Don't let the "wet" fool you though – this is still high-quality material that looks stunning.
• Pre-Preg Carbon Fibre: Typically found in more expensive kits, pre-preg involves pre-impregnating the carbon fibre with resin before moulding. This often results in a lighter and stronger part, but comes at a higher cost.

F97 X3M by LYTE:

This LYTE Plus kit includes everything you need to give your X3M a complete carbon fibre makeover:

• Diffuser: A three-piece design with aggressive fins and winglets that instantly adds a sporty edge to the rear.
• Side Skirts: Subtle yet impactful, the side skirts feature a clean design with a small fin, perfectly complementing the overall aesthetic.
• Front Splitter: Mirroring the diffuser's three-piece design, the front splitter provides a cohesive and aggressive look. Installation is designed to be relatively straightforward, utilising existing OEM mounting points and a combination of 3M tape and rivets/screws.
• Rear Spoiler: Inspired by the M Performance style but with a refined touch, the spoiler adds a touch of class to the rear profile.
• Mirror Caps: The finishing touch! These carbon fibre mirror caps complete the exterior transformation.
• Interior trim overlays: These are produced from Pre-Preg carbon fibre and simply overlay onto the existing OEM dashboard and door trim using 3M tape.

Important Notes:

• Compatibility: This kit is designed specifically for pre-LCI (pre-facelift) BMW X3M and X4M models. It will notfit the newer facelift/LCI models. However, LYTE offers a separate kit for those.
• Spoiler Exception: The spoiler in this kit is not compatible with the X4M.
