So my carbon fiber mirror covers finally arrived and I'm actually impressed with the quality and surprised at how well they match my CF door handles. Only thing is I don't trust the little bit of 3M that is already on them so definitely adding some more for peace of mind haha. Oh, and I am definitely wrapping the base on the mirrors in black. Below you'll see them and I did a test fit to see how the fitment was.
I purchased off Ebay but don't see the exact ones I ordered on there anymore. I see some cheaper ones but not sure if they are the same or what they're quality is. The ones I ordered said they were "real carbon fiber" lol.
Looks good. Going for the "crafted line" effect? Looking forward to updated pictures when you paint the bases black too. Keep up the modding.
Haha thanks, I especially made sure not to take crooked pics just for you! You're correct as in I'm going for the crafted line look but using the CF instead of black - due to having the anthracite gray wheels, and will also have a CF rear spoiler (not sure if I'm wrapping my current one or maybe just will buy a knockoff one). I'll update with pics once all is done...hopefully this weekend!!!

Thanks! Everything is pretty much flush with very little persuasion. I want to add extra 3M though to ensure that everything stays in place...there is no room really for repositioning.
Its a little hard to see them since it wasn't taken with more light but I get the idea, looks nice. I might have to get a set myself, it would contrast nice with black. Do you know if the GS mirrors are the same as like the IS? I see others listed but don't know if the IS/CT/ES use same mirrors.
Thanks and about to post better pics now that they're installed. The mirrors are all the same for the GS/IS/CT/ES so the ones that say that will fit.
I originally paid $250 for mine but I now see some on Ebay for way less!!! Not sure if they are the same ones I got but they look just like them.
I took them off a few weeks after to try to realign them and cracked them all up because I used VHB tape and was a b!@$h to get off! After that I actually ordered OEM black mirror covers and went with them. They did look great and may get another set as they are way cheaper now and easier to find. I was also thinking of just getting my original white covers hydro dipped this time...that way it's an actual cover and not an overlay.
