carbon fiber mirror covers

Ok, the Brabus ones are nice but super expensive at $400. Ebay has several of them ranging from over $100, to $79, and the almighty "made in China" ones from 19.99.

They all claim to use 3M two sided tape and real carbon fiber (I'm sure these are subjective descriptions too). So I have to ask- is there REALLY a difference to these or is it simply fancy sticker across the board?

What have other people opted for? pics would be nice too!

its worth it you should buy it i seen them on ebay too looks same as mine but the only difference is i paid $80 with the whole mirror cover and the small one going on the silver part of the led signals.

Anyplace that does vinyl signs in your area should be able to make a set or at least sell you some scrap white so you can DIY it.

anyone else? i'd like to see the Brabus ones versus the ebay ones. I guess my bigger concern is the sheen (ie- would the cheaper ones have that shiny plastic reflection versus a matted carbon fiber)
