Carbon Fiber Mirrors

sleepergm · 12-21-2010, 11:49 PM

Just wanted an opinion on to get Carbon Fiber Covers or Full replacements for the side mirror fronts?

I was thinking of getting the covers off Ebay for $70 USD ... which is really cheap however I was not sure on fitment.

Also the full replacements are alittle more expensive at 130 USD but not sure if they are actually better.

I don't mind paying extra just want to get good quality that fits ...

Any advice would be appreciated ...

Thanks

So I ended up ordering some covers on Ebay ... only $70 compared to the $320 for full replacements. The other person was actually selling covers for $130. Hopefully they will fit well. Only time will tell.

i bought some covers fit is almost 100%, they came with double sided tape but i used a thin coat of silicone from a tube to stick them, works perfectly and seals the edges. for the money they are good value.
