Carbon Fiber Side Mirrors?

I have a 2011 Tiag e90 335i.

I really like the look of the OEM Performance Carbon Fiber Side Mirror caps. The price however is not inexpensive.

Does anyone have any other places where I could like these cheaper or very high quality aftermarket ones? I am not looking for covers. I prefer to take of my cap and replace it entirely with the carbon fiber one.

Thanks,

D

If you have to go the aftermarket route - I have found that the 'AutoTechnic' brand of covers have the best fitment through experience - I went thru the whole: tape on cover version, then full replacement version, then finally to OEM CF for my M3 mirrors.

If I was to do it again, I would definitely skip the tape on version

Several forum vendors sell this brand, as well as eBay of course...

So best to spend the extra money up front and get the OEM Performance Covers then I take it? that is what my gut is telling me but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing another OEM calibre option.

Thanks,

Yup, I would definitely go OEM from the begining - even though the others were cheaper, it was an expenditure of $$ that would have been better spent on the OEM's
