Looks amazing, they must have applied a clear coat over the CF vinyl?

thanks alot. its not vinly. it is real cf fabric. if a material is not made of full cf it is called wraped. btw i think its not possible to have full cf mirror cap because of they have clips on it.

I've got the OEM CF mirror caps, and they're full CF with clips glued on the inside.

Same thing...if ur pulling a sheet off the back and it has some type of adhesive..."wrap/vinyl whatever" they use a heat gun to apply it?

Or like remmib has "carbon fiber caps" already molded.

Nice touch! Looks awesome

Aaron@Autosource · 03-19-2015, 09:01 PM

Bc little to no clearcoat, very thin, low grade resin. Trust me on this one.
Give it 2 months tops before they start warping and fading.

Alpinapower · 03-20-2015, 06:35 AM

i have the same one´s on my F10 and the quality is perfect and fits perfect. After 1Y they look like new.
But i order it from a other dealer...
