Worst quality by far. I tryed it and was a waste of $20 or so dollar.

I have the smoked ones on my car and the quality is fine, maybe the CF look isn't but smoke is fine.

The original price of CF Mirror is $90,
I can get it for $72 plus $15 for shipping to U.S.

From his post on prices.

The maker rised the price for mirror cover.
The price was $90 but now is $95.

So I have to sell it for $76 now plus $16 for shipping.
Sorry about that.

um..... i wouldn't spend more than $50 for 2 small pieces of CF cover..... CF is cool looking, but i think all the manufacturers are jacking the prices up, only because they are..... CARBON FIBER.
Isn't the purpose of having CF part is to reduce the weight?

after reading all the messages here, i think i need to talk to my brother in Taiwan to get the whole aftermarket CF business going. I can't believe how many people are interested in them.

Same here with the overlays, i had a fight with one so i have put them off..... And on my black car i didnt like the CF mirror overlays.

I have bought a black sticker (3M) and have made my own black overlays.

Posting this for anyone who bought the mirror covers...

The tape on the mirrors is VERY flimsy. I noticed that they painted the inside of the cover and applied the tape on top of the paint. Problem is the paint just comes right off, along with the tape! I took some sand paper and sanded off the inside paint as it serves absolutely no purpose, then wiped it off, then bought some heavy duty double sided tape from home depot and put it back on. MUCH more secure. I'd highly suggest to anyone else who bought this do the same. Someone else on this forum already had their fly off. The double sided on the door pillars are very good and should have no problems, it's just the mirrors.
