Nice find op. I'm interested in seeing if others have used them as well.

They're alright, not the best.. I'd honestly just wrap them instead of buying these.. my clear coat on them faded after awhile.. anything other than matching color mirrors will look more aggressive.. if you spray painted them black they would look just as aggressive for cheaper, or you could just wrap them and call it a day to get the look.

I don't know what you're looking at but they look great. NOTHING looks like CF and these look hot. I have had so many people notice and compliment these. Painting them black is just that, paint. These look classy and finished, no comparison to paint.

They don't sit flush and are poorly made, wrap it gloss black. Looking to do that this weekend.

When you say, wrap, I order vinyl off eBay and then install it over the mirrors? How do you recommend installing the vinyl so there are no air bubbles?

Use a big piece of vinyl and pull it over the mirror cover. Use heat from a hairdryer or heat gun to stretch it properly without creases.

I'd suggest ordering more than you need. You're going to need practice as there is a bit of a learning curve with vinyl.

Also, I'd recommend ordering "name brand" vinyl from 3M, Avery, Oracal etc. The eBay vinyl I've used just isn't as good. The adhesive sucks and it's much harder to stretch. Could be just the stuff I was using though.


^ Check out this video on mirror wrapping. I wouldn't suggest using a torch unless you have some experience though.

That guy is a champ. His work is art.

Idk about all this vinyl stuff. I'd rather invest in performance.
