Carbon Fiber mirror caps?

[SBDPlaid]

Anyone have success with particular carbon fiber mirrors? I'm most interested in actual mirror cap replacements, but if there is a particular brand of mirror cap covers (the kind that stick onto the stock cap) that install well and hold up over time I would be okay using them instead

If you find a place let us know. I've been searching to actually get my side mirror carbon fiber'd but most places just talk about the caps...

Have a set. Fit quality is poor. Most are cheaply made in China. One fits fine the other is off by a lot. The replacement one I was sent from the place I bought it from was also off just as bad. I ceramic coated mine so the finish looks good.

I had the same experience. Purchased the replacement mirror covers and the drivers side fit fine the passenger side was another story. Tried the tape on covers after but they eventually started peeling off. Considering having my OEM covers skinned in CF so the fitment wont be an issue.

Anyone try the stick on versions from RPM that wrap around the edges of the mirror?

 

[TD85]

I tired those as well. currently peeling off as we speak. Full replacement, CF wrap or CF skin would be the best bet.

I have them and they are awesome! I had thew RPM First Gen and they were not great, these new versions are really nice!

I will post pics later...

Those look good. Might be giving them a try as a replacement for the first gen.

That looks great!

Anyone have experience with chrome mirror caps? Similar to Audi S versions. That may look sharp as well with the base being chrome already.

There's another one (Gen 2) for $139 with the discount. Anyone know the difference between these two versions?

Gen2 covers the edge of the mirror.. looks more oem than the 1st Gen.

Looks really nice. Do you use any special product to keep them clean and good?

The reason I am on this page is my experience installing CF mirror caps on X and being disappointed after 8 months of use.
My confirmed purchase off Amazon ( https://goo.gl/E3jeC2 ) $70. I would not recommend it to anybody. It used to looks good at first, but looks agley and cheap now.
Planning on taking it off and put (maybe) CF wrap instead, if not just nothing at all. I have a positive experience on the other hand putting CF wraps on the chrome door "buttons." It looks good, durable, won't lose any quality or condition over the use. Maybe other CF caps (real CF) would work, but I am not positive to try any of it again. If anybody have an experience with a similar product that is different from mine, please share.
