Cf rearview
Has anyone tried to carbon fiber their rearview side mirrors yet?

There are examples on Ron Ngyuen site BMW c class etc bit haven't seen any clk w209s yet

I heard some rear views are hard if not impossible to wrap because of Contour and shape

I used the vinyl purchased from ijdmoty.com

Used a hair dryer a razor and lots of stretching with this. You def. need a second person to get this done.

The line on the mirrors helps with the corners. Just cut right on it and it will work itself

Can the vinyl just be peeled off without effecting any of the paint or leaving a sticky residue?

Yes it can. I would recommended to apply some heat before you go on removing it just to play it safe
