I'm liking these

vincE92M3 · 05-01-2016, 06:47 PM

They don't look quite right...

atxsk8r · 05-01-2016, 07:00 PM

Ugh, these wannabe M mirror caps need to die

They do not flow correctly at all, stock mirrors at too boxy to pull off this look.

+1. Not against the idea of putting M style mirrors on, but these look too angular...

Embarrassing.

There was another thread with a different set that didn't look quite as "pointy" as these.

I might do it do mine, not sure yet, but I did like the look of the other ones.

It looks extra awkward with the signal, I think if it was smoke tinted it would visually looks so much better and without a doubt cleaner. Regardless, I hate the stock mirrors... anything is better. Lets see how long until a vender makes a proper base for an OEM retrofit.

They look like crap from PepBoys.

TT1351 · 05-23-2017, 10:14 AM

are they real cf, or just an overlay over ABS?

They are real CF. They do look better in the flesh... i posted this on the last thread but here it is again on my LBB M2..

McPurrs · 05-23-2017, 12:49 PM

That is a little better, but I still am not sure either.

quikM2 · 05-23-2017, 05:52 PM

Those I think you see open arms from the drivers perspective. There are some other ones that I've looked and Dabozo has actually ordered from Germany that are full carbon arms. They look a little better than the auto ID in my opinion. Thats from photos though so I will let him comment once they arrive which should be any day now.

Here's a detailed look at the auto id one's

Dabozo · 06-02-2017, 09:01 PM

Sorry for the delay in posting these...

I'm happy with the quality and fitment...no concerns here. However I'm not sure I dig the look now that I have them mounted. Just don't seem to 'flow' with the car. A couple of my buddies (and my 8 yr old daughter) preferred the oem ones lol. Should have just gotten the oem cf.

For the record, I would have said the same about the auto Id ones since they are very similar.

Ps sorry for the crappy pics...just wanted to get these up asap to help anyone else that's considering them.

Dabozo · 06-02-2017, 09:09 PM

Some more

This is the photo that made me want to buy them:

Unfortunately that seems to be the only angle i don't hate

I know what you mean.

I went cf to balance things out with my cf spoiler etc.

These might be heading to the classified section soon ...
