BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - installing OEM Carbon rear spoiler after delivery

If you care about how well the carbon fiber matches (like me), I'm learning that you need to know:

The weave pattern
Whether it's clearcoated
Whether it's UV protected (against yellowing)

It seems like the mirror caps and rear spoiler would be the most noticeable mismatches against the roof. I thought I saw an early press release from BMW (back in 2009) that the OEM CF pieces were going to match. From the pictures I've seen, however, the OEM pieces do not look like they match the roof. The glossiness looks correct, but the weave pattern does not.

Can someone with the CF roof and some of the OEM pieces confirm?
