CF mirror caps (not overlays)

swamp2 · 11-13-2010, 03:38 PM

Although many might recall I've done my share of ranting about the use of Carbon Fiber for cosmetic purposes. However, I really like the matching look between the CF mirror covers and the OEM roof. Can someone who has looked into all of the options make some recommendations?

-I want full cover replacements not overlays
-I want the CF to match the OEM roof
-(Obviously) I want real CF with a good UV protectant for longevity
-Fitment should be OEM quality

The option from Eurosport looks great. Here.

Anyone know of other options?

I got mine from EAS and they would match the OEM CF roof. I obviously got new CF V-Weave so I have to sell my CF mirrors. PM me offer as I have not listed them yet.

You need a set of mirror shell replacements which we do carry in the 1x1 CF Weave to match your roof.

Could not find them on your website. Already looked. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks much.

The OEM mirror caps, even though they have a perfect, flawless weave, doesn't match the CF of the roof. The weave is larger and closer to 2x2 twill size.
