Carbon fiber dash board trim?

My carbon fiber trim on the dash recently starting warping - probably cause of the excessive heat. Dealer/warranty does not cover. Read a couple of threads of people trying to fix but doesn't permanently fix the issue cause it will likely warp again.
i found a whole replacement of the trim from a company called db carbon interior Defroster trims under windscreen r+l - DB Carbon Interior
Anyone have any experience/feedback on their quality? If so they also have the carbon piece for the exhaust casing that looks pretty good which i'm debating on getting. LMK!

Can't say I've seen the DB stuff in person, but I didn't even know that you could get the defroster piece in CF! Looks great.

I've bought a bunch of items from DB in the past and would purchase from them again (actually considering it now). Good quality.

Do any of the aftermarket companies have a warranty on that stuff? Would be handy to know, especially for SE/SW customers.

I've ordered many carbon pieces from DB and I am about to order some more. I just installed some pieces two days ago - well, my dealer did. I've also ordered from MACarbon. Extremely happy with both. DB has a huge selection and does not require a core charge/return.

My local dealer replaced mine twice for warping.
Guess what they did it again...

I removed mine carefully (Leave it outside when its good and hot out and slowly worked off the remaining glue towards the pillars) Immediately lay it flat and put heavy boxes over it. My old one coiled up like a spring. Figure Ill save them for the next guy.

They sure did look nice though!

I replaced that front window trim piece at a delaership. It started warping again within a year. $1100 for the part. Nice. I have several other warping / cracking pieces. Bought the full CF package when I bought the car new in 2002. Warping started within 5 years of new. It's not heat or cold related as my car has experienced neither. Was thinking about call Porsche HQ and seeing what the deal is. Not very happy about the situation.
