Who has replaced their mirror covers?

Ramos · 07-11-2014, 09:29 PM

I keep changing my mind ..
My car is mineral while with the black M-Performance kidney grills.
Initially I hated the gray mirror covers and was set on replacing them..
Lately they are growing on me and I can't justify spending $500 bucks on the M-performance carbon fiber covers especially on a leased car..

Should I go with the eBay after market covers? Or just stick with the stock gray?

How many have replaced them and did you go M performance or after market?

I got the M Performance carbon covers from Sun Motors. I love them.

Another option is the IND body color covers for about $200.

I dont know if this is a good replacement http://m.ebay.com/itm/191175817801?nav=SEARCH
But for $109 the price is good.

For a lease car that is getting turned in a few years these should hold up for that long.

Got to be careful with those. The price is for one cap. Can't buy two because it is for one side only. You'll need to find the auction for the other side.

I got the IND ones and sold the originals on eBay so the new ones cost me next to nothing.

oscr972 · 07-12-2014, 11:16 AM

Another lower cost option is painting (body color or black) which is on my "to do" list.

If you want eBay mirror caps, these are the ones you want. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-1-Replacem...49c2d0&vxp=mtr

The price is for a pair.

Ramos · 07-12-2014, 02:33 PM

Thanks DanG, yes these are the ones I would get if I decide to go that route

samtnel · 07-29-2014, 10:01 PM

Here are some pics of the carbon fiber mirror covers (before and after). These are eBay aftermarket but I think they look good, feel nice quality and fit perfectly. Installation was super easy. Just popped off the old ones with a trim tool and then the new ones just snap in (no screws).

IMO it looks better with CF mirrors. Good job.

At $159/pr, that is one heck of a deal!

Chr2004 · 08-28-2014, 08:40 AM

Looks like the item is no longer available. Guess I'll have to wait.

mike@tpc · 08-28-2014, 08:48 AM

I just ordered black ones yesterday from IND for my white car.

Love the body color rear diffuser.

Ditto - How much did it cost to have it match painted? If it is cheaper than the MP stuff, may just go this route.

I am not sure how much it cost as it was a part of purchasing the car. Couple additional freebies built into the my agreement.
