I am looking into ways to get gloss black (maybe gloss carbon fiber) mirrors on my white G37 coupe. I've seen some CF mirror covers for around $100 online, but they don't seem to fit the best based on their reviews. Is there a way to order just the black mirror cap off a black coupe and pop it onto the mirror on my car? Also, roughly how much would professionally wrapping my mirrors using 3M materials cost? I have no clue how to wrap anything so DIY is not an option. Thanks!

 

I have thought about that, but could never find OEM black mirror caps. I might just take the caps out and have someone paint it, don't see it being more than $100. As far as wrapping, it will vary on who you go to, just make sure that they do offer some type of warranty for their work.

 

The odds of finding new, pre-painted mirror covers- or any body parts for that matter- are slim to zero from most US vendors. More so now as these cars are getting older and stock levels diminish. I recently had to order a pillar trim panel from Japan in order to get one OEM pre-painted.

For giggles, I checked the parts supplier in Japan: for a 2010 Coupe, color KH3 (Black Obsidian), Mirror Cover p/n's:
(L) 96373-JL07A and
(R) 96374-JL07A.
They run roughly $70 a piece NOT including international shipping.

Best bet is to either paint your existing covers or wrap them.

 

It does seem like my best option is to use my existing caps, how tough is it to wrap them? I think id do better at wrapping than painting them.

 

If various on what film you get honestly, some are more forgiving than others.
