Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps At $159.95?

[IZZY79]

I wanted to buy the carbon mirror caps but for me they are too expensive...
So I looked if there was a replica and I found one but I dont know how good is the quality on these...
They look pretty good online.

has anyone tried them?

this says it all:

"Secured in place with double sided tape to your current mirrors"

factory ones are installed by removing existing mirror cover, and snapping the carbon one on

I didnt see that but you are right. Might not be a good idea huh?

It won't look flush with the mirror housing, imo, a deal breaker. I picked up the OEM caps from McKenna for $495 delivered, and I am pleased.

I still think that's outlandish...however, when ordering my TT-RS, CF mirrors rang up tp $1900! Includes power folding capability vs. the fixed setup, but I'll stick with the standard and elegant matte aluminum that's a signature RS look.

I actually have a set I'd consider selling off mine. They look great, but there is a slight gap. Very live able though. Pm me if interested.
