Carbon fiber mirror covers?

I did some searching but couldn't find much on them. what's everyone's opinion on them and does anyone know where I can buy them/ how much they are?

I think they're a waste of money, kind of a cheap looking mod to me.
Unless you have other CF parts to help compliment it will look wacky especially on a silver/grey/white G...that's just me

I bought the ones off ebay that are like a cover over the housing for $100 and the fitment was okay but not 100%. I'm picky and I'm known for selling everything (idk if thats a good thing or not lol) but wouldn't sell those to anyone bc they just weren't up to par in my opinion.

It really depends on the color of your car and whether or not you have any other carbon fiber accents on the exterior. Pictures of the car as it sits would help with more informative feedback.

What can you do it happens when you take a risk on pieces that are to good to be true for the price lol Lesson learned and you move on to the next stupid decision

I have them along with AK diffuser, Outcast garage front splitter and a CF steering wheel. I like them a lot, and so do the other people who see them. I bought mine on Amazon for around 150.00.

i thought about getting the covers. since i read that fitment was not 100% i ended up going the route of hydrodipping my mirror covers.
