Custom Alcantara, Forged Carbon Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Nappa Leather
Each set from BaesicBuilds.com starts life as genuine BMW components. We carefully strip, repair and re-finish your E92 sun visors and pillar trims using high-end materials:
- Alcantara headliner look – Match or upgrade to a full anthracite/Alcantara headliner vibe with pillars and visors wrapped in OEM-grade Alcantara for a soft, non-glare finish that feels factory+.
- Forged carbon fiber overlays – For A/B/C pillars or accent pieces, we can skin OEM cores in forged carbon, then finish in gloss or satin clear for a modern motorsport look.
- Traditional carbon fiber – 2x2 twill or plain weave on select trim inserts for a cohesive interior theme with your dash and center console pieces.
- Nappa leather – Smooth Nappa leather wraps for a more luxury-oriented cabin, with tight hand-stitched edges and optional contrast stitching.
Because we build on OEM BMW cores, every mounting tab, clip, airbag cover and sun visor hinge is in the correct location. These are OEM+ direct replacement parts: no drilling, trimming or universal brackets required. You simply remove your stock pieces and install the upgraded set.
Installation tools needed
Basic hand tools are all that is required to install E92 sun visors and A/B/C pillar covers. Exact tool list can vary slightly by model year and options, but the following will cover a typical install:
- Nylon interior trim removal tools (to pry down visors and pillar covers without marring plastic)
- Torx drivers or bits (commonly T20 and T25) for visor screws and some pillar fasteners
- Small flathead screwdriver or pick tool (for releasing hidden clips and airbag cover caps)
- Ratchet and socket set (often 8 mm or 10 mm for certain brackets, depending on model)
- Panel clip removal pliers (helpful for stubborn push-clips behind pillars)
- Masking tape and soft microfiber towels (to protect headliner and glass while working)
- Step stool or small ladder if the car is lowered and you need better access to the roofline
- Safety glasses and gloves (recommended when working around side-curtain airbags and brittle plastic clips)
No wiring modifications are required when reusing OEM visor electrical connectors (for vanity lights), and all pillar covers clip back into OEM locations. Most installs can be done in a home garage by a careful DIYer.
OEM+ parts, Direct swap of OEM parts
Baesic Builds focuses on OEM+ execution: everything is based on genuine BMW cores using the part numbers listed above, then custom-wrapped or skinned to match your vision. The result is a set of sun visors and A/B/C pillars for your BMW E92 that:

- Provides a custom, made-to-order finish in Alcantara, forged carbon, traditional carbon, or Nappa leather tailored to your interior build.
